We checked out Fresco for the first time for my birthday, and it did not disappoint! I loved the ambiance and how most of the light in the place was coming from the Orpheum sign across the street. The patio is beautiful, so I know I will need to make another trip in the summer...lots of bold patrons were braving the frigid temps in their party dresses to get pictures outside. We started with the crispy Brussel sprouts for an appetizer and they were amazing - brussels and bacon are a match made in heaven, and the app came with a dipping sauce that was mouth watering. My husband and I both had the seared scallops - the plate they brought out was a work of art in and of itself. I'm not going to lie - I looked at it at first, and was like 'Is that going to fill me up?' but it did...the scallops were melt in your mouth tender, and the flavors were out of this world. Every element was meant to be together, from the grilled corn to the cherry tomatoes - I'm seriously drooling just thinking about it again. I sipped on one of their specialty drinks, the b-hive (barreled gin, honey syrup, lemon, up) the entire meal, and then enjoyed a cup of coffee with my birthday dessert (flourless chocolate cake). I wish I had snapped some pictures, but this is the type of place where I felt a little silly busting my camera out to take pictures of the food...it just felt like a night to just take in and sear into my memory, a rare treat!
