   Nice dinner for a family! Server was kind, food was great, wine selection was fun! We’d like to come back for a date night, without the toddler and check out the bourbon/cocktails!

   We had a very good start. Waiter was attentive, wine, food etc… was brought in a timely manner and everyone enjoyed their meal. We had just finished and was given the check as the waiter explained he was about to get very busy. We were then told we needed to finish up as they had other reservations. (There was an empty table in the middle of the dining room and we had been there 75 minutes) we had just poured the rest of our wine. The manager cleared our table. We felt very rushed for no reason. There was no one waiting. It would have been nice if they had just asked us to finish our bottle of wine at bar ( no one was in there) . Very disappointed with the way we were treated. It was supposed to be a special night.

   Krista is the best server and the food was terrific and fresh. Service was very attentive. We will go back and tell others to do so too. The food is excellent.

   Service, quality of the food and turnaround time was impeccable. The martini glasses are a little on the small side for the price.

   This was our first time at Fresco. It was a Monday, but we decided to order off the regular menu instead of opting for the price fixe special. My husband’s grilled salmon was excellent, according to him. I ordered chicken & eggplant napoleon, something I would not order again. The food arrived extremely quickly, and while my husband’s meal was excellent, as stated, mine was hot in some spots and cold in others. I had checked off that we were celebrating my birthday when making the reservation, and was extremely surprised when our server brought me a complimentary tiramisu, complete with candle. It was a very sweet gesture - and looked amazing - and it was very much appreciated, but unfortunately it’s a dessert I just really dislike. My husband offered to eat it, though he’s not a tiramisu fan either, and I ordered the lemon blueberry mascarpone cake. The cake was incredibly delicious and I would seriously consider stopping in just for dessert sometime!! All in all, the experience was decent. We will definitely give it another try. I do think on Monday nights, sticking with the dinner for two special might be the better option. I also believe another night might be an even better option. Our server did seem incredibly rushed, and aside from the extremely generous birthday dessert, we felt like an afterthought through much of the meal.

   Our first time at Fresco and everything was amazing! The fresh bread and olive oil dip was nice to munch on while we waited for our food. We had the burratta platter as an appetizer which was so fresh and tasty. Our food came out in a timely manner, perfect temperatures, and decent portions. My husband had the seafood stew and chicken marsala for myself. Our waitresses were very friendly and attentive, they even acknowledged it was our anniversary and brought out our tiramisu (delicious btw) with a candle. We loved dining here and will definitely recommend this place to anyone!
