rev:text	Fresco is a restaurant known for its rooftop views that are especially "fun" when you can sit outside on a beautiful summer day and look at the Madison landscapes and sunset while watching "street life" down below. I was really looking forward to it. Side note that leads into an interesting "ethical" debate: we rushed to Fresco after getting off the phone with the staff who said there was ONE table left on their outside patio. Right before we got there, we saw two other people heading to the elevator taking people up to the restaurant. I worked to subtly "obstruct" their path to the host/hostess desk, but my friend Paul K. said not to do it, explaining later that they got their first and it wasn't fair. WHAT?! Sorry, but when it comes to getting hot seats at hot tables, I'm a mercenary. Ethics, schmethics. What do you think, reader? Back to the food: got chicken/veggie dumplings as an appetizer (good but skimpy, not the fat stuff you get at an AZN establishment) and "leg of lamb," which came with no bone and looked more like 5 lamb discs/sliders. My friend's salmon, which he remembered as a hearty portion that he couldn't even finish sometimes, now looked like half a salmon steak. Both our veggies were over grilled veggies, in my case asparagus. My friend was shocked at the portion size, and we both agreed that the P2P (price to portions) ratio was unacceptable. Indeed, portions were approaching prix fixe absurdities (the kinds of usually pretentious places where you see more OF THE DISH than a DISH). Paul K. (the guy I went with) stared wistfully at the Wisconsin landscape as the sunset. He was less angry than sad that a place he loved for so many years had changed so suddenly and without notice. Was it a new management? A new executive chef? Budget constraints that lead to portion trims as high prices stick? Or perhaps it was all an attempt to become a new type of place: less a spot for the discerning diner than a semi-"lounge" type places where expensive drinks and being seen are the priority? Who knows. Bonus for the pre-buttered bread. THAT was amazing, but not enough to push this place to a 4.
