Fresco at the Gardens Rockford IL

I’ve had good experiences here before. But today, it was blah. My meal had no flavor, and wasn’t cooked the way I ordered. Definitely not worth the cost of a plate.The burgers had no flavor and was dripping oil, blood, or juice. The shrimp was room temperature and gave it a bad flavor. I expressed to my waiter I did not like it. I was not offered any compensation. But then our waiter was not good either. I expect better service and taste for what they ask in monetary return. Don’t waste your time or money at this restaurant. Even if you think it would be nice to see the view and have a drink, you will find the drinks disappointing as well. I’m not a picky person, despite what it sounds like. But when you drop $70 for an ordinary lunch for two people, I expect better.

This is a gem! It is one of the most beautiful places to have brunch in the area! I love the eggs Benedict and my husband loves the the combo that includes eggs and pancakes. If your looking for lunch ...I love the crab cake! Eat outside if you can and enjoy a view of the gardens (if you sit on the east side of the deck).

Great environment, beautiful view. We sat outside and was super relaxing. Food was ok, I was not impressed, Francesco's has better food, so I was expecting the same quality and taste. The menu is very small and prices a little high for what they offer.
