    Let me just say, the food was absolutely AMAZING and that would be an understatement. If you come here, which you should, you must ask for Adeline. She is an absolutely incredible waitress who is beyond friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable of the restaurant and all it serves. Adeline read off atleast 40 items to us that was truly impressive in the order in which she read them but also the knowledge of what each item came with. She was extremely friendly, and pverall a true asset to the establishment. God bless Adeline. I can confidently say one of the best, if not the best, servers I have ever had a chance to experience. Because of her and her energy and attitude the noght was that much more special. Absolutely fantastic evening, amazing food and incredible service. Will not think twice about revisiting Fresco and you shouldnt either!

    My husband, daughter, and I celebrated my daughter's birthday last night and chose Orchard Park to celebrate. We were pleasantly surprised by the festive welcome as we entered the property. The well-lit buildings and trees along the drive to the restaurant beckoned us to enter. After the valet took our car, we were escorted to the restaurant and seated. The restaurant itself was comfortable. The menu offered entrees for every palate. We chose the lobster tails, shrimp and scallops. Our appetizers included popovers, beet salad, and oysters. Everything was delicious! I was happy to see the addition of mocktails on the usual cocktail and wine list and chose a mocktail that did not disappoint. Our waiter, Hector, was attentive and pleasant. When he asked us about our experience, I simply said, "We'll be back."
