About Fresco at the Gardens
Fresco at the Gardens Reviews
My mother in love and I waited 25 minutes after being seated and were never served. We even asked to order after 15 minutes of being ignored. The half hearted apology as we left just added insult to injury. This was my second visit and the first wasn’t much better. My burger was raw and the server never came back after delivering the food. I had to ask someone else for the check. For such a beautiful, higher end location I expected better.
Food was delish! Everyone of us had a great meal! Service a little slow, but we didn’t mind. Gave us time to chat longer!
