  • The crab dumplings are good but NOT real crab and this is NOT listed on the menu. For those of you who love crab dumplings ....try Sala Tai
    The pasta dinner was good but somewhat salty, the portion was very large.
    My husbands steak while flavorful was thin and over cooked. He did enjoy the flavored mashed potatoes.

    We were seated at the table directly in front of the window. The window sill was disgustingly dirty, bugs, dust etc. This bothered me when I was eating my meal.
    I am on the fence as to weather or not we will be dining at this restaurant again.With so many good ones to chose from I doubt we will return.

  • Order: crab dumplings, pasta with scallops and goats cheese, steak with mashed potatoes

  • The parking lot is not good, they should remove the automatic teller drive through for starters and improve the entry from Fourth Avenue. The restaurant decor is uniquely Mediterranean. The music is upbeat, and the statuary and "paintings" bring to mind Europe. I am not certain how the taxidermy fish fit in. The restaurant could do with a little more general lighting however and also some housekeeping. Service was prompt and drinks were brought out quickly. The special of the day should be more prominently displayed at the entry. Upon questioning, our server discussed the specials and the myraid of options included quickly with no prices until asked. I quite enjoyed the house salad here. It is very tasty. When the food arrived we were a little surprised at how large the portions are. They really do not need to be as we all had leftovers. I enjoyed my dish, but I don't think I would re-order it on another visit. It's a bit too cheesy for me, thick and not very spicy - just personal taste. There used to be a spicy peanut dish that is perhaps served at noon? It should be included at supper also. Coffee was slightly strong. The various servers who attended the table did keep the table service overall at a very acceptable level.

  • Order: Spicy Gnocchi al furno with the included house salad. Coffee.

  • Drinks came quite quickly, salads as well. The salad was one of the best I might have ever had, it was HUGE! When my crab cakes came they were severely burnt on the outside and quite cold on the inside. When i inquired, the waitress immediately took them back and brought a new dish out in under two minutes. When they came back and i cut them open, I realized it was imitation crab (not listed on the menu). Disappointing. Pasta was great, little to no oil used with a decent number of scallops and small pieces of bacon.

  • Order: Caesar Salad, Crab Cakes, Bacon and Scallop Pasta

  • Been regulars since Fresco's opened. Busy lunch but food arrived quickly. Pizza was very, very good but not very hot, lettuce in the salad has not been very good for awhile now, not sure why, it's pale, yellow, brown edges not very fresh looking. It used to be my favorite salad. Chicken was lost in oversized dry roll, very tiny dry piece of chicken, totally tasteless. Fries were hot and good. We'll be back, just maybe not for lunch, dinner seems to be of better quality.

  • Order: Casillero del Diablo Carmenere Wine; 1/2 Pizza/Salad Lunch Special; Chicken,Apple, Brie Sandwich w/fries

  • The waitress was absolutely horrible. When I questioned why the menu does not state that the "crab" in the dumplings is in fact imitation crab, she became angry with me. She even went so far to say "for that price, you should know it's not real." Our actual entrees were fine, however, the dessert coffees that we ordered were not. I am quite certain that I know what a monte cristo coffee should taste like, and what I was served was not even close. When I mentioned this to the waitress she said, "well i watched her make it- it's fine." The food here was just okay, but the service was HORRIBLE!!!

  • Order: crab dumplings, stuffed chicken, pizza, monte cristo and irish coffees
