| - I read the reviews, which are somewhat mixed, and I honestly didn't know what to expect. I told my husband on the way to the restaurant, "I think we'll either love this or hate it." Well, we LOVED IT.
The pros:
1) location! Beautiful rooftop location on State street above the contemporary art museum. Sofas for relaxing with a drink, art to look at...it's just great, particularly on a nice weather day! The restaurant itself has clean lines and a minimalist feel that works perfectly for its location.
2) The food! Really, really surprised by how good the food was as I was worried this was the kind of place that could skate by on location/ambiance alone. Nope. We had the tuna tartare appetize, a charcuterie plate, an entree of scallops, and a fish entree. All were out of this world good. I have never had such delicious scallops! My husband said his fish was top-notch and loved be greens that it sat upon.
3) the service!!! Our waiters name was Jimmy and he may have been the best server I've ever had. Very friendly, knowledgable, and skilled at asking the right questions to help us determine just which menu items we would like the best. When he heard we were celebrating our anniversary he treated us to a beignet dessert that was fabulous. He also recommended a great bottle of wine which paired wonderfully with our entire meal. It was truly dinner bliss!
I would HIGHLY recommend Fresco and I cannot wait to return!
