    We went to Fresko with out of town friends and it was a fun, lively evening with great food. One of the guests is gluten-free and found many options to suit him

    Delicious food and beautiful presentation. We ordered a variety from the not-pizza menu - though the pizza options sounded delicious and more than half the restaurant seemed to be having pizza. We ordered some of the Mediterranean prepared mains - scallops, beef, salmon and chicken … asparagus, beets, and mushrooms … all great. Ended meal with gelato trio - perfect & light. Service great - atmosphere is a bit noisy - so don’t expect a quiet conversation. Parking limited.

    ad the best girls night dinner at 801 Chophouse. Our server, Chloe, was absolutely phenomenal! She gave honest wine recommendations for our dinner selections and gave spot-on insights to the menu that made the entire experience feel elevated without ever being pretentious! Every suggestion complemented the meal perfectly, and you could tell she genuinely knew and cared about the menu and our dining experience. As a patron, this is what great hospitality feels like! The atmosphere was classy and intimate, the food was outstanding, and the service made the night unforgettable. Perfect place for a special dinner, celebration, or just a much-needed night out with friends. Already looking forward to going back. 🍷 We enjoyed the special carpaccio appetizer, summer strawberry salad, east coaster oysters, waygu filet, a surf and turf, and a plethora of sides. The perfect mid- week girl dinner splurge. Chloe was patient with our lack of timeliness, attentive to needs, and the best host! We are so grateful for our experience and are sure to be back soon.

    Had our 1 year wedding anniversary here. It was great experience, server was very knowledgeable and assisted with menu preferences. They brought out special appetizers to celebrate our occasion and wrote a nice message in our dessert! The wine selection was great and the options for non-alcoholic were amazing as well. The food was fulfilling and refreshing! Loved the flavors of each dish we had and enjoyed the ambience of the setting.
