Fresco Steak & Seafood Grill: Experience Culinary Excellence in Milltown, NJ

The atmosphere is very nice and the food is generally good. However it is stressful and tedious to have the wait staff memorize and recite an entire menu of specials (also this way you don't know the prices). Are we supposed to also memorize the specials? Our waitress was very attentive until the near end of our meal when we had to wait around 20 minutes for her to take our dessert and coffee orders and only after we flagged another waiter to help us. The coconut pie was a little soft (I think it was microwaved from frozen?) and had a crust as hard as a rock and was not good. The escargot was served non traditionally and was a little over cooked. Prices are higher than area norms.

Food and service were both excellent. Even though we sat by the door we were not cold. Thought it would be bigger but it definitely suffices.

Delicious food. Outstanding service Restaurant clean , organized. Wait staff very attentive.

We had the seafood salad and grilled octopus app special . The best octopus I ever had . Large portion as well. The food is always delicious . Love that it's byob with a liquor store in the same shopping center . I service restaurant equipment and have been in the kitchen of many places . Most restaurants I won't eat at. Because they are so filthy. But the kitchen in Frescos is very clean . This is always a good choice if you want great food at a decent price .

Came here with my family and a family friend. We had made a reservation and were quickly seated when we arrived. The restaurant was clean and well-lit (I say this because sometimes it's hard to read the menus when places are dimly lit). Let me preface: one of the guests was a picky eater & yet even she enjoyed eating here! It's definitely pricey, but a nice experience overall. Appetizer: Hot antipasto for two - SO TASTY! The stuffed mushrooms melted in your mouth like butter & was my favorite. I was surprised to really like the eggplant as well. The zucchini fries were crispy. Entree: I got the crab stuffed brazini with Brussel sprouts and it was absolutely delicious. Others got salmon as well and said it was tasty too. Dessert: Tiramisu - WOW! This coupled with the espresso was the perfect combination and ending to lunch.

I attended a conference in the area. We made reservations for a party of 12 to eat on a Friday at 6:30. The restaurant is BYOB but it is in a plaza with a liquor store a few doors down. The staff were attentive, restaurant was clean but it is a bit small (for a large group). They have various food options. They serve warm bread in the beginning of the meal. The calamari was tasty. I ordered the chicken parm and it was delicious. I ordered the Oreo cheesecake to take home and it did not disappoint. Overall the group consensus was that the atmosphere and food were delicious. This is a must come back. The food is pricy but worth every penny.

Visited 06/02/2024 Came here for a family anniversary party... 16 of us. Adelina (?) was (IS) a fantastic server... very friendly and open to too many questions. Like so many other reports, the family style appetizers were all really amazing. Eggplant rollatini, stuffed mushrooms, clams, calamari, shrimp franchaise... and a few more I can't remember. I also can't remember what everyone had, except to say that we all enjoyed our meals... EVEN the KIDS! I had the Halibut with lobster risotto, which came home with me... and just got finished as I write this review. The ambiance is really unexpected from the outside... We were lucky to have a "private" room... although the baby shower just outside the door was... a little loud. Fresco is a BYO, which is always a major plus in my book. Certainly worth the trip.

We tried this place as an alternative to Arthur's Steakhouse in North Brunswick. I was in the mood for a good 24 oz. Ribeye for my birthday, but my wife can't take the decor and smell of Arthur's. Luckily, I found this spot. The ambiance alone was miles ahead of Arthur's. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Making reservations was easy. The food was excellent!The Ribeye was only 22 oz. but was seasoned perfectly and the temperature was precise. It was very filling. I ate the whole thing. My family loved their dishes, as well. They don't have a bar. However, it's BYOB or BYOW. Luckily, there's a liquor store with a decent wine close by. This place is worth coming back to.

Great neighborhood restaurant. Good portions and everything I've had on menu is delicious. This time we started the manga calamari for appetizer and then the Kansas City steak and the Halibut for dinner. I couldn't finish the fish. It was so much but so good. Service is wonderful. They are not rushing you. Suggest reservations and it's BYOB.
