    Andrea was our server she was very sweet and kind. The calamari halibut and veggies was so delicious. We had a great night and we celebrated our 17 yr anniversary! We got to try the tiramisu as well at the end which was a nice surprise. So thankful we loved it!

    The review is strictly based off todays visit. I’ve dined here a few occasions and the food is usually pretty good. Today, I got the special that was the beef and tortellini. The beef was tough to cut through and chew. My friend got the special that was the lobster tail and ravioli and that wasn’t as tasteful. I hope they don’t use this beef again because the meal was definitely not worth $55 for the dish. I should’ve gotten the halibut special like I did last time. That dish was yummy! I’ll continue to come here but today’s food was not good at all. I’m throwing the leftover beef in the air fryer at home & hoping for the best lol I was not going to waste my money. I’ll re season the beef as well haha

    First time patron. Excellent food and drinks - highly recommend. The only downside to the restaurant was that FOX NEWS TV played during our entire dinner. Granted, sound was down but I don’t want to see it. Basketball was on the second TV which is fine.

    Food was excellent but a charge for extra bread wasn’t appreciated.

    What a great time! The restaurant (and bar area) was packed because it was Valentines Day! But it couldn’t have been a better experience. The staff was super nice and attentive, the ambiance was so awesome! Soft lighting, great acoustics; imagine all tables full but not having a hard time hearing my husband. I got the special which was halibut with lobster stuffed ravioli with a sauce, too die for! Our waiter Andy was the best; there when you needed him otherwise not hovering. Everything about the place and night was perfect, which is hard to come by these days! Bravo Fresco Grill!!
