About this business

Food critics rave for Fresco's sophisticated chef and award-winning wines. Opened as a spritzier version of St. Petersburg favorite Apropos, it's a work in progress. Fresco's bayfront setting has a view of the Pier and its decor features a touch of Art Deco with an antique cash register and seahorse mosaic on the floor. The cuisine is upscale American, featuring seafood and steaks for dinner with sandwiches and burgers for lunch. Alfresco dining is popular and the location makes outdoor tables coveted.

We visited last night, check #448, for a business dinner for 10. We have lived in St Pete since 1980 and been dining with you since you opened in 04. As members of the Yacht Club and most other local establishments, our family has enjoyed your convenience, if arriving by boat, service, atmosphere and food. Unfortunately, last night was a disaster. We were hosting the CARICOM Ambasador and his family, only to be met by your most epic fail. While we said little to your staff, other to ask for the nearby fan to be turned o... read more

After walking the recently renovated St. Pete Pier we chose Fresco's for its outside seating that allowed us to eat with our dog for Sunday brunch. After looking over the extensive menu my husband decided on the shrimp tacos while I picked the blackened grouper sandwich. Both were absolutely phenomenal. I had a hard rose cider to drink while my husband had a cold draft beer. Even though the restaurant was packed the service was acceptable. We certainly wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. 

Business response:

Thank you for the fantastic recommendation Lisa! We appreciate it!

Three of us enjoyed the Ahi Tuna Salad, the grouper tacos and salmon tacos. The side dishes of quinoa were very tasty and so was the seaweed salad. Hope to visit again during next trip to St. Pete.

Really enjoyed our lunch today! The $15.99 trio combo offered many choices with a soup, salad, & entree! Portions were very generous considering it was a lunch special! Our server Chris did a great job & their spicy margarita was on point! They also offer a kid’s menu & are pet friendly! Would definitely recommend & would return again if ever back in St. Pete! 

Business response:

Wow! Thank you SO much for the fantastic recommendation Tiffany! We are so please to hear you had such a great experience and can’t wait to see you again soon!
