   Yes the service was great food was excellent. My Fiancé and I both got that steak dinner. It was very good! Pricey though but worth it! Beautiful view of the water too.

   The river views from Fratellos are fantastic, with a choice of inside or outside dining which together with a welcoming and well trained staff make it a special place to dine. The quality of the food, however is not consistent. We could count on good food in the past but not currently. Earlier this week, for example, the coating on the walleye ordered by our party earlier this week was so thick as to hide the taste of the fish, and the fish was laid upon potates which were cold which in turn covered broccoli that appeared to be thawing . As hosts to two other couples it was embarrassing. I used to recommend Fratellos with enthusiasm and without qualification but cannot do so currently.

   Well our meat entrees were good and large. I loved the glace on my filet. The gnocchi seemed dry on the two plates that had it. The carrots and broccolini could have been a bit more tender! The not hot asparagus soup did not taste like asparagus, and it came with the entree, not before! The one salad that was ordered, came with the meal also, not before! The cheese curds were good. The "mashed" potato portions were enough to serve at least two people each. They were also, not hot. When asked to reheat them we were told that there was no microwave, so we could just get a new serving. Did not make a difference, it was no warmer! We were given NO fresh bread. No salt on the table. I know they were short handed, as everyone is, but things could have been better. The tiramisu which was the chosen birthday dessert was fantastic! Andy ,our server, did her best!

   Arrived on time for 6:45 reservation, seated at 7:15, asked staff if we had a server assigned to our table at 7:30, server arrived at 7:40 and took order, the food arrived at 8:10. Received 2 free glasses of wine for waiting. Pasta dishes were very flavorful. One person ordered a steak, and it was a bit on the chewy side.

   The Butternut Squash Ravioli was the perfect fall dinner dish, highly recommend. Had the Lemon Ripeino for dessert and it was the perfect way to finish our meal, very refreshing. Overall an outstanding experience.

   Our server was one of the best we have had anywhere! He made the entire experience memorable. The food and restaurant building also made it a place to continue coming back to enjoy.

   Fratellos is a wonderful place to celebrate or just unwind amongst beautiful views of the powerful Fox River. The food is delicious and the service is great. The ambiance of the restaurant is what ultimately brings me back to celebrate!

   Met with a friend for lunch. Service was very good. Food was great (we both had salads... she had the watermelon salad and seemed to enjoy it a lot). It's always a lovely space.

    Service and food were excellent. Seating by the windows gave us a great view of the rushing water and waterfowl. Our Truffle Shrimp Carbonara was excellent both in execution and seasoning. House salad was just mixed greens and red onions, but had a nice lemon basil dressing. Great desserts. Great wine list. Only negative for us is that you need to pay $4 extra for bread and butter. A small thing, but it is a simple, inexpensive gesture that we missed.

    Fratellos is absolutely beautiful and there is not a bad seat in the house! Indoor and outdoor seating is top notch, and the service is phenomenal. Try the charred octopus, and the coffee martini!

    We sat in the patio area. Service was great. The food was good. The only thing that was bothersome were the bees. But we understand that it was our choice to sit outside. We wanted to take in the sure of the river

    I had been to fratellos before and it was amazing. This time around not so much. We got the bam bam shrimp, truffle fries, and the bruschetta and we all love them! But when it came to our main courses we were less than satisfied. Tow of us got meals with steak in them and both steaks were so tough that we could barely chew them. One meal had scallops and they were very gritty. The crispy gnocchi needs a sauce with it. It is very dry and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for too long. Our group loved the cannolis that they used to have on the menu, but sadly they were not on there anymore.

    Good service and a great view. Food was good but not up to the location. Prices for food were a good value, however anything under $40 a bottle on their wine list isn’t worth drinking.

    Came in for a date night dinner with my wife. I had the mushroom and bacon fettuccine which was spectacular! My wife had the crunch chicken salad and she loved it. We both really loved the white chicken chili. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

    Amazing location, great service and underwhelming food. I always expect more and I'm always disappointed here. My truffle shrimp pasta LOOKED fantastic but had no salt and I tasted truffle in maybe 2 bites. So disappointing.

    We like to save Fratello's for special occasions. We always try something outside of our usual restaurant selections and are never disappointed! The spiced wine pear in the salmon salad was deliciously unexpected as was the sweet chili compound butter for the warm bread!

    Fabulous views! Windows all around overlooking the river & dam. Lots of wildlife to watch and moving water. The food was excellent and both the waitstaff and manager stopped by to check in us. We were on the upper level, which was nice and gave us an excellent view even though we were not right next to a window. The waitress we had gave us some good recommendations and was very attentive. Everything was picture perfect! I highly recommend Fratellos if you are willing to pay a bit more for a better location and food. Our lunch for 2 was $68. For me, well worth it for a special occasion but not on a regular basis.
