I stayed in the apartments behind this restaurant for a week, and on my first day was delighted to find this place downstairs with good coffee and a nice menu. For lunch on my second day I ordered the garlic prawn pasta. It was delicious. The prawns were fresh and the dish was full of flavour. Probably the best garlic prawns I'd had for years. The next day I went down for coffee in the morning but when I went to order at the counter (as I had done the previous day) one of the male waiters (the tallest one - I think he might have been the duty manager) told me brusquely to sit down outside and he would come and take my order (there wasn't any notice indicating whether it was counter service or table service). He didn't come to take my order so after 15 minutes I went back inside and he told me to sit down again. During that period I noticed he was taking orders from people at other tables who arrived after me, so I gave up and went around the corner to the Karma Cafe and ordered coffee there instead. Their service was much better and the coffee just as good, so I ended up going there for the rest of the week. However, on my second last day I decided to go back to Fresh Point to have their garlic prawn pasta again for lunch, despite the rude waiter, because it was so good, but this time the prawns didn't taste fresh and the dish was flavourless. It had obviously been prepared by a different chef. That night I had food poisoning. Of course, I can't prove it was their prawns, but I had eaten nothing else that day other than my usual breakfast, so I strongly suspect it was the prawns because they didn't taste right when I ate them (lesson learned). So the best description that I can give Fresh Point is that it's "variable". I should add that the female wait staff were very friendly, but the male waiter that kept ignoring me needs to take a course in customer service. See less
