I have really loved going to Fresco at dinner for quite some time, but we recently went for brunch and it was one of the worst brunches I've had in Madison. I'm keeping it at a 2 instead of a 1 because their brunch is quite the deal price-wise.
For brunch, they have an entirely fixed menu, which means everyone pays $25 and you get a small donut, 2 drinks, and an entree. The value is great, as long as you get the boozy drinks. Their brunch menu should really offer more flexibility for those who don't drink or only want the entrees.
I was hoping the "donut appetizer" would be a bit more generous than it actually was. They were carefully counted at 1 per person, as evidenced by one person in our party who arrived late and was served a single small donut hole.
I tried the margarita for my first drink and the prosecco for my second drink. Both were fine. Another person at our table ordered the sparkling rose and it came out flat.
I got the quiche as my entree and that was the most disappointing. The egg part of the quiche was chewy and inedible; I ended up not finishing it. The salad that came on the side was fine, but had barely any dressing on it.
The place was dead and we went on a Sunday at 11am (prime brunch time). Perhaps the rest of this town has already figured out it isn't the best brunch spot.
