About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for groups
The Point Patio Bar and Bistro is a hot new restaurant featuring American cuisine with a full service, indoor and outdoor bar. The passion to bring a new feel to Fresno came with many trips around the country including Denver, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco. With their collaborative experiences and a joint vision of bringing the "perfect" point home, the idea for the patio bistro was born. The unique outdoor oasis features fire, water and colored lighting effects. Along with the televisions strategically placed for subtle viewing, The Point sets the mood for an experience like no other. The indoor booth and table seating offers a more intimate dining experience for friends and family. The Point's highly qualified Chefs bring creative flavor and presentation to a diverse menu including tasty Bistro Starters, Gourmet Burgers and Handhelds, savory Mains and House Made desserts. A lighter lunch selection, a happy hour menu and Sunday Brunch is also available.

    Sat for 20 minutes before getting water, everything took forever to get out. cheese board was so lame, cheddar.. basic cheddar and Parmesan. Garlic fries were bland. And then it took another 20 minutes after dinner for the waiter to get our check to us. Would not recommend

    It took like 20 minutes for someone to bring water and take our order and 30 minutes to get our food. Some of the workers looked tired and no in a good mood. I think It was a busy day.
