    We have eaten here several times and this was the first time we were a little let down. The place was not boomin but yet our service was just okay. I booked in advance and provided that this was for a birthday and nothing was done to recognize the event, even when asked in person. Overall an okay experience, not what we were used to based on previous visits.

    We went here on a recommendation from a neighbor to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary which is on the same day. We went with another couple. First I want to say the service was excellent and very attentive, no one rushed us. Drink service was good and prompt. We shared a calamari and burrata appetizer . The burrata was delicious, the calamari was weak, not crispy . My main dish was veal scallopini Marsala served with vegetables. The dish was served Luke warm, and the potatoes had way way too much pepper on it, it was not eatable. The side dish of pasta was cold and way over garliced. Others at the table enjoyed their lasagna dish, shrimp and scallop dish (the green fettuccine was not warm) , and a brazzini. They were kind enough to bring me a piece of cheese cake with a candle on it at no charge. Overall I was a little disappointed.,

    This is about being comfortable in a place away from home. Penny and I have celebrated with the Fresco Grill for years. We found it quite by accident and have returned once a year ever since. We started well before COVID and we’re overjoyed the Leon and his crew survived. We just love the many people we have seen come to dinner with us for their own celebrations. The service is always impeccable, the wine very agreeable but oh the food magnificent. Please enjoy the Fresco Grill as you celebrate life. B&P
