I’ve dined here before and had a good experience, so the poor service this time was surprising. One person’s meal was brought out at least ten minutes ahead of everyone else’s. No offers to refill drinks or bring more water were made. Repeated requests for drink orders had to be made. We called the server over to order dessert, and he walked away without taking a dessert order from everyone, or even asking. We ordered two cheesecakes. One came out after twenty minutes. Another ten minutes went by as we reminded them multiple times that we asked for two. We got tired of waiting and cancelled the second cake. I could allow for an off night (it can happen to anyone), but this felt like they just couldn’t be bothered.

Fresco's Grand Cantina is not only delicious with great variety of drinks but they have such fun, bright, and welcoming LGBTQ+ energy that not only makes me want to return but also bring new friends/family/people visiting NYC! This was my second time attending their Sunday Drag Brunch with Catrina Lovelace and it was even more amazing than my last visit! I brought my parents and cousins for their first Drag Brunch experience and it was a huge success! They had so much fun and loved everything we ate and drank! Will be be back for sure

As always the food and drinks and service was amazing. The drag brunch talent is unequaled. I did have one question which never got resolved. I ordered a side salad. When it arrived there was no salad dressing on it. I asked for dressing as the salad was dry. A waiter said “ it’s an extra charge.” I thought what? I didnt ask for extra dressing . I only asked for dressing which I never got. I was with friends so I quietly asked why? I didnt get any dressing. The waiter came back with the dressing and never answered my question. I was treated to brunch so I never saw if I was charged nor how much. The waitress we had was amazing so I didn’t want to make an issue. The only thing ever to happen at a perfect restaurant that I go to a lot.
