Fresco II used to be one of our favorite places to go eat, but for the past few times we've been there, they've gone a bit downhill, the food suddenly became too salty and not even edible... the last time we were there, my family could barely even eat some of the food with how disgustingly salty it was, even my fries I got with my burger I had there were a bit too salty as well, everything was like drenched in salt. The only thing keeping me from giving this place a 1 star is the desserts, which are amazing...but other then that, I'm pretty disappointed that we probably won't be coming back to this place with how bad our last experience was, I don't understand why all of a sudden it went from being super tasty and good, to it being not super great anymore, granted we haven't been here in a while but still...come on! Don't put a lot of salt on things! Common sense!

What a NIGHTMARE!!!
First, the service is AWFUL!!!! They are trying to save money by shorting the wait staff. There was only ONE server for the entire restaurant at 5pm. Didn’t get our order until 6:45. Left at 6:50 and there was still just the one server.
Second, and a complete travesty, is the actual food. My order immediately tasted like it was made yesterday and reheated in a microwave. But, if the taste wasn’t enough proof of that, I actually had a large chunk of tin foil in the sauce on my plate.
Ironically, as we were ordering I said “I don’t really want to eat here. I’m pretty sure the owners also own Raven’s Nest and that place is both way overpriced for what it is, and the food there isn’t that good either.
Finally, too many screens and some of them are broken. If you can’t afford to fix it or replace it, just take it down.
Save yourself the money, time, and hassle and find somewhere else to eat.
I feel bad for giving the server review 1 star, it’s not her fault she is here alone. So, this isn’t a reflection on her (why I am not naming her) but this place needs a serious overhaul or should just be put out of business.

Our team recently hosted a work gathering at Fresco II, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From start to finish, the owners were incredibly accommodating and professional—promptly answering every question and making sure we had exactly what we needed. The menu offerings were outstanding, with each dish bursting with flavor, and the service staff remained attentive throughout our event. Highly recommend Fresco II for any corporate or social gathering—we’ll definitely be back!

Waiting an hour for our food wouldn't have been so bad if the food was good, but, it wasn't. At least the background music was good. I was not impressed. I've had $8 gyros that tasted better. The calamari was tough and had little to no flavor. The ribeye was grainy. The hummus was ok. The pita was soft and warm. The Mykonos meatballs were juicy and had good flavor. I can't tell you what was wrong with the chicken marsala. And the Lenny's chicken parm was off too. What i assumed to be garlic bread was too hard to eat. I can't tell you what else was ordered, but I can tell you no one in our group was impressed.

Always good food. I was surprised however I had their fish and chips and it was really good
Had dinner here on a Friday during the Holiday season. There was a talented live band playing in the lounge/bar area, a tasteful Christmas decoration through out the venue and an enjoyable atmosphere. Nella was my bartender and she did a great job while being busy with a full house. I suggest trying the lamb chops as entree and the cannolis for dessert. Good times! 🎄🎅🍷
If you work from home THEY DO offer guest wifi. Went here for lunch to work. There was only 1 server who was also bartending. There were 5 tables one being a 10 top but you could tell they were pretty much done and just exchanging gifts. It was probably 10 minutes until I was helped. You could tell the server did not want to help me and was overwhelmed. I asked for a water with a lemon to start and some menus. I got a water (no lemon) and a food menu. Did not get a coctail menu or a happy hour menu. I sat there for another 10 minutes before I started weighing my pros and cons and ended up leaving. I was attracted to coming here and trying out their coctails from the menu I saw online but with the attitude/overwhelming of the bartender I figured the last thing she's going to want to do is make a coctail so it probably won't come out like the quality it should be. I serve part time and can understand they were understaffed but you got to have some hustle and pep in your step. This server just seemed to be gliding her way around with no drive.

I had brough a party of 20 - everyone sat and waited for 45 min Eggplant parm was mediocre at best, everyone else was not impressed save for 2 people [Salmon dish] The service was horrid, this one young lady avoided any and all eye contact whenever we tried to request something. Except for 1 out standing servicer [She deserves all the stars] Expensive for no reason. There are many other locations to eat there. Avoid if you can. Not a single vegetarian option ...

Had the Mango Pork Chops, delicious. Was there on a Friday night and they had entertainment that made for an excellent ambiance.
Parking: Parking seems to be an indicator of the capacity. So if the parking area is full you may have to wait a little to be seated.
