Best Seafood Restaurants in New Brunswick

The food is always fresh and delicious. Staff is very professional and hospitable. We ate downstairs for the first time and were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. We had the Crispy Squid (with Sweety drop pepper, white onion, balsamic vinaigrette), “Key West” Florida Grouper (Coconut-panko crust, citrus basmati, charred broccolini, lump crab, avocado key lime butter) and Red Snapper w/ Spicy Potato & Herb Butter (Crispy yukon potato, cherry pepper, aspiration, basil, crispy leek). Possibly our new favorite New Brunswick restaurant.

We have been dining at fresco since it opened years ago. It is one of the places you go for special events or just a lovely dinner or lunch. Service is always professional, friendly, and timely. You are never rushed and the food is always prepared perfectly.

I found this place through Instagram. The owner chef was in the short reel and his presentation was eye catching. So I booked a reservation for Valentines Day dinner with my wife as early as I could. The welcome when we walked in was great, the owner was with the host and makes you feel special upon entry. The rose he gave me for my wife was a nice touch. The staff was attentive and everyone looks great! Shout out to Omar the captain who took care of me and my pregnant wife all night. He made sure we felt special, while we noticed his consistent service throughout the evening. The ambiance was special, loved the velvety blue tufted booth benches. The music was a whole vibe, felt like I was in all the old school Mobster movies with classics playing in the background. The food was amazing! When I say you can literally pick anything from the menu and be very pleased I mean it. Apps, main courses, chefs kiss. My wife and I have steak on a regular basis so we went with their Mixed Grill and the Yellowfin Tuna, amazing! I need to go back to try every dish. Don’t eat with your eyes, you will be stuffed but guess what, who cares it was all great for left overs the next day. Theyre doing it right, and from the experience, I only expect this guy to keep stepping it up because he takes pride in his craft. We will be returning, most definitely a spot for anniversaries and birthdays to come.

Excellent service. Food was decent. Limited vegetarian main entree options is reason why rating is not higher.

Fabulous fun Valentine's Day celebration complete with great food, wonderful service, and festive environment. We have been doing this for decades and will continue our tradition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
