| - We ended up here around 4pm on Easter afternoon. We were out walking around the Capitol and State St, and our kids were complaining of being cold. We were hoping to find a place where my husband and I could get a cocktail and the kids could have a snack, but there were far less businesses open than I expected. We noticed Fresco was open, so we made the trek up the beautiful, light-filled staircase. Their Easter brunch had already ended, and we were the only ones there. I felt a little awkward walking into such a pristine, fine dinning restaurant with my energetic kids and our casual attire, but the staff was SO welcoming. Our server brought warm bread and asked the chef if he could make a kid friendly snack. We didn't even ask him for this, he just did it. He was so nice and accommodating.
My husband ordered the Fall Mule, which was from their specialty cocktail menu, and I ordered a Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet. Both were exceptional. The Old Fashioned was the best I've ever had. They really put extra care and attention into the details. Even the garnish cherries were specially soaked in spices and gave the drink an unique and TASTY flare. I ordered another round, and the server gave us a small bowl of the spiced cherries for my kids. So thoughtful!
I can't review the food from the menu since we just had snacks, but I can only imagine it's amazing if they put this much attention into the bread, drinks and snacks! I can't wait to come back and explore the entrees and soak up some sun on their amazing rooftop patio.
