    It would be nice on the nights with entertainers if patrons were asked to keep sound levels down so those who are there to listen can enjoy the music. The food and service were great. Overall prices were a little high.

    We had a great dinner on Valentines Day! It was the perfect mix of quiet, cozy, moody, relaxed with just a hint of fine dining and exactly what we were looking for. My husband had an old fashioned which he said was really good. I had the 5 option charcuterie spread and he had the hot honey wood fire pizza. Both were *chefs kiss*. We will definitely be back!

    This is our 2nd experience at Fresko. We chose it for Valentines Day because we could walk from our event hotel (Marriott). Upon being seated we were gifted a gorgeous valentine rose. We loved our meal choices and look forward to coming back to try more more menu items.

    Nothing but love for this authentic and wonderfully tasty spot. It’s nestled inconspicuously between a pancheros and a firehouse sub but that makes finding this gem that much more rewarding when you see just how amazing the their selection of food is, and how amazing it all tastes.
