Dining at White Point, like the rest of the resort, offers something for everyone. As the resort has a meal plan, most people staying here will eat most of their meals here, but this is not a bad thing. The restaurant manages to avoid falling into the monotony trap so many all-inclusive resorts do by offering good food with enough variety to avoid becoming staid. It’s all too common to go to an all-inclusive resort only to find that the wonderful buffet dinner you had last night is the same wonderful buffet dinner you're going to be eating for the rest of the week.
The meal plan can include breakfast, lunch, or dinner- or all three. Dining is either buffet or á la carte on all three options. Most menu items are included, although there is one or two, such as scallops and lobster, that may carry an additional charge. For our weekend here, we opted for the buffet breakfast (sausages, bacon, omelette, toast, pancakes and maple syrup, gypsy toast, fresh fruit, oatmeal, cereal, muffins, etc.); skipped lunch, as we were too full from dinner; and then ordered from the menu during the evening meal.
The menu was well selected and included a range of options, from chicken and seafood to more elaborate pastas and pizzas. There was also a separate menu for children. The first night our party had a range of options, including chicken, red pepper and cream pasta penne, Tempura haddock, and swordfish. All were declared to be excellent. As the meal plan includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, I'm afraid to say we indulged ourselves. I finished up with a white chocolate cheesecake, which was to die for.
Our last night, we pushed the boat out a little and opted for a couple of the more luxurious items. To start, I had the St Mary's River smoked salmon. This was well put together, and alongside the generous portion of salmon were crisp potato pancakes, peppered Mascarpone cheese, a soft poached egg, and warm bacon bits. This was the absolute highlight of my stay - and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Other members of the party had calamari, scallops, and a tomato and parmesan soup, which all got the thumbs up too. As we were right on the sea (and weren't paying!), we all opted for lobster. Being landlocked Brits (we also had Indians and Irish among us), it was the first time many of had experienced fresh lobster... and what an experience it was. I loved the whole ritual of cracking open the claws, wearing the bib, and dipping the meat in the butter. I wasn't overly keen on the lobster, though - I guess I'm quite squeamish after all.
The waiting staff was all super too. They bent over backwards to accommodate our needs, offered honest advice on the food and extensive wine list, and regaled us with stories of Mischievous Ivy, the resident ghost. I can’t recommend this highly enough - a great experience.
