Everything from the music being played to the cocktails and food was amazing. I was thoroughly pleased with everything I had. I highly recommend this place. We didn't even have dinner there, just multiple small plates and drinks, and I left feeling like I had just gone on a culinary adventure. Please treat yourself and go to this restaurant.
Beef tacos and Tuna was very nicely done. Margherita on a flat read was a true surprise. Lamb skewers were well done but were bland and dipping sauce should have been provided. Service is wonderful and gets 5 out of 5. Desserts are good but thedeconstructed apple pie was a bit small in size. Fresko is a cool place and deserves 5 out of 5 but food requires a pinch morespice and sauce.
Highly recommended! I went during lunch time and they had great bar service. The seared tuna was amazing but I would say definitely get it with the soy sauce. I also enjoyed a Manhattan which was perfect and they have a great bourbon selection tocustomize. Put this on your list for sure!
The food was amazing. We had the octopus appetizer. My wife had the lobster ravioli and loved it. I had the pan seared scallops they were great. And the desert was to die for. Oh did I mention it was our anniversary. The desert chief wrote a specialmessage in chocolate on my wife's plate and delivered it in person. Now for the staff everyone greeted us with smiles and werevery friendly. The waiter was the best we've ever had from any restaurant. I just wish we could remember his name so we couldgive his name out on here so he could get the recognition he deserves. Thanks for the great service, food and time. If my wifeis good we'll be back(if she's not then I'll be back and leave her at home lol). Thanks from the Bucy's
Amazing wait staff and hostesses! The drinks were delicious and the food was awesome! Went during happy hour and stayed for dinner. The flatbread were a great deal and quite delicious. They also make a great margarita (also tried the lavender butterflyand white sangria, but the margarita was my favorite). Tried some of a friend's grilled octopus and was amazed at the level offlavor they got into it. Also enjoyed my Golden Dragon Street Noodles, great pad Thai flavors! The cheesecake cannoli were agreat light dessert to top it all off. Will definitely be coming back!
