We had a wonderful time tonight for my God Mother’s birthday. Jacey was amazing! Very professional, attentive, and comical. Thank you for such a great evening!

I am not one to write many reviews. However I love St Pete and the atmosphere is undeniably the best. This restaurant was very nice and the food was incredible.My issue was the hostess. She appeared under the influence of something and was extremely rude and unfriendly. Her vibe definitely did not set the tone for our experience and we almost left. This may be a real deflection from others staying because we almost didn’t.The waitress and food were great so I would come back.Being in the service world I wouldn’t want that representing my company.

I was a bit put off that my raspberry lemonade cost the same as my husband's beer! I know they didn't use $3.50 worth of raspberries in my lemonade! Also, no real selections for wheat allergies. Many people like this place and it was crowded, which speaks volumes about a place. It's just not MY cup of tea, is all. $7 for a lemonade is ridiculous though.

My gmfavorite place in St. Pete downtown. Scallops were presented so well, the sauce was excellent, and wonderful taste. The mashed potatoes reminded me of my grandma's.So many expensive restaurants seem to focus on impressing with the presentation, but the food doesn't live up to it.Not the case at Fresco's--- both were amazing.And the waiter helped me find where my bus stop for the Suncoaster was. I wish I could remember his name to post here.

Terrific location on a pretty harbor. Our outside seating was comfortable. No smoking, breezy and clean. Right downtown. Enjoyed a free bus loop ride afterward. Full bar. Attentive service and a short wait for our meal.

Came across a gem today while walking by the Saint Petersburg, Fl. pier. I normally dine at a nearby restaurant, but noticed the quint building and was drawn in by the good smelling food. Fresco's is right at the waterfront and has outdoor seating. From there you have a nice view of the boats docked at the marina. The Sunday brunch menu offered some interesting dishes at reasonable prices. Give them a tryParking: Pay parking is available close by

Emma's service was absolutely spectacular! She's not only amazing at what she does but also incredibly friendly and personable. Her positive energy just makes the whole experience that much better. She took amazing care of my pup as well, very impressed! Highly recommend!

Great fish sandwich. Love the fries and highly recommend the southwest eggroll app! Boated here, easy to dock. Also loved the margs!

My husband and I went here for my birthday, and not only were we resoundingly disappointed with the wait staff experience we had, but to top it all off, we both now have food poisoning. Do not recommend from start to stomach-cramping finish.
