    London was a fantastic server, we needed an early lunch reservation due to a meeting, and this worked out perfectly. The Ahi Tuna  with mango salsa and rice, and the cold lobster roll were absolutely fantastic. I normally don’t finish a complete meal, but this was so good. I couldn’t stop. Highly recommend eating here!

    Thank you for a great lunch. The lobster rolls were perfect, however, the fries were a bit of shrinkflation on the portion, compared to previous visits. Our server was friendly and attentive. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

    We love Fresco’s, food was good but service was a lot slower than normal. It was midweek at 5pm so floor not full. We sat about 20 minutes before a server came to our table. Once waited our server was great! Maybe we came at a shift change or there was some table confusion? Will be back for sure!!!

    Food was good and our server John was great. We had to sit inside because of a storm and the main reason for going to Frescos is for outside dining. That’s why ambiance only got 3 stars.
