Staff could not have been nicer. The menu selection was perfect for luncheon and the food was excellent. We're just sorry that the record heat precluded a walk in the gardens. Next time, because there will certainly be a next time visit.
Great variety of menu choices. Each person ordered something different. All was excellent. Good value. Lovely and convenient setting. We dined inside but the patio looked very welcoming. Service was good not great.
I took my dad to the gardens for a father's day trip. Made lunch reservations the day before and getting seated was seamless. He ordered the turkey club and said it may have been the best one he's ever eaten. I had the burger and fries and was also very happy with it. We opted to eat inside, but could still look out over the scenery through the large windows.
We waited 20 minutes after we were seated to order drinks. We didn't want to wait further, so we ordered drinks and food at the same time. We waited an hour for our food and we were told that, “Sorry, but the kitchen is destroyed right now.” I finished my drink long before the food arrived and ordered a coffee which I received as I was finishing my meal after asking about it twice. I took it in a to-go cup. All the food arrived cold. I had cold scrambled eggs which I did not eat. My husband was ready with our credit card as soon as the bill came, but the waiter took off without our card saying that he would be right back, but it was another 15 minutes. Overall, a very disappointing experience. The waiter's apology seemed insincere and no manager came to check. A very expensive subpar lunch that took several hours in a freezing cold restaurant. I will not be back!
The staff worked really hard- seems that they may have been a bit understaffed with servers covering areas both inside and outside. So, while service was a bit slow at times, we could see that they were working really hard to serve everyone.
We all enjoyed our dinner. Tge food and presentation were excellent. And you can't bat the setting!
Lovely restaurant and perfect for lunch with friends and a day at Anderson Gardens. Will be back! Thank you!
They were very accommodating to our party of 10 garden club members. We were all able to sit together at a large table. The service was quick and friendly. There's a nice choice of breakfast or lunch meals. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals, and we each received our own individual checks which made it easier to pay. I highly recommend this restaurant!!
Made a reservation. After waiting 20 minutes was told it would be 40 minutes more. Asked point of reservation - the manager said headcount. Enjoyed lunch elsewhere.
Amazing experience, super friendly and welcoming staff. Very very nice ambiance. The food was quite good and beautifully plated, however I will say that the portions are a bit conservative for the price point, but I think its worth it for the overall experience.

Yozie is AWESOME! What an asset to your team! We actually always come to both Fresco and Francesco's and request her to help our family! Great service, personality, very friendly! Service is what keeps us coming back!
As always Fresco at the Garden was wonderful. The Easter brunch was excellent. Very good choices, quality offerings, the service was outstanding. Never disappoints.
It would have been nice to know the price up front. Also some foods were just processed packaged food. That is so not worth the price you charged
We had a large party of 9 and everything was set up for us perfect. Jasmin was our waitress and she was kind and patient. Food was warm and fast. Everyone commented on the presentation and deliciousness.
The food was pretty good. Our waiter was great but a little slow at times returning to the table. It wasn't outrageous, but noticeable. I would eat there again.
