Location: Cosmopolitan Date: June 5th, 2026…read more Service: Mobile Order Delivery Earlier this month I ordered from cosmopolitan because I didn't have anything to bring to lunch that day and I was super hungry super starving. My colleagues and my office mention and I saw them ring food from the restaurant one day. I ordered through DoorDash and I got the French dip or a steak sandwich which came at the dip on the Sun it was amazing only thing was missing with some cheese and some mayo but other than that I ate every bite and gave the other half to my kid. I was having pleased with the food and I believe will deliver it it took the delivery man a minute he was lost. Everyone was happy and finally see if my order and will be returning in the near future prices are extremely reasonable for the area.

Where do I begin? I hate using the words hidden gem because every social foodie's review is over…read moresaturated with this term. But Cosmopolitan BLEW ME AWAY! I don't go to Fresno ever and I was blessed to be invited to dine with a group of ladies at this OUTSTANDING gem of a restaurant. From the street view the building is very non-descript except for the name across the awning. But once you park in the lot and walk through the doors you discover a beautiful dimly lit restaurant with a fully stocked bar. We sat in the private room since we were a rather large party, so a lot of us really took our time to browse the menu. Our server Felix was extremely courteous and patient not to mention professional. He took our drink orders first, let us gab and then came back for our food orders. He gave us the specials before we decided. When the food came out, our orders were perfect. I was beyond satisfied with my choice. The texture on the salmon was crispy but not dry and the pasta flavor was subtly spicy. Truly sublime! I was sad I was too full to finish my meal. Judy came by our table to refill our water carafe and none of us knew who she was. Quietly returning and very unassuming, we asked her name and began to learn she as the matriarch of the family behind the establishment. What a joy to have met her and she raved about her son Joe, the chef and shared the history about the restaurant. At the end of the meal we all indulged in some tiramisu. When Judy learned that we were there for a PTA convention, she shared she used to teach as well. What a treasure! I was beyond impressed with this restaurant. Everyone was courteous and attentive, cocktails and food were superb! If I ever return to Fresno, this is a MUST! Cannot recommend enough. For now I get to live vicariously through the reviews of all the other recommendations of meals to try. thank you cosmopolitan!

They also have a great full service cocktail bar with lots of big screen TV's. Cool place... they also take reservations for bigger parties. Super sad side note; as I was leaving, they told me that they are not gonna do the pizzas anymore and they're changing their menu. I hope this is bogus news because the pizzas were my favorite item on the menu! ) ;

We tried Woodward American Grill for the first time, and honestly, it was pretty underwhelming…read more The burgers were just really plain and lacked flavor. I hate to say it, but I've had better burgers at Red Robin. The wedge fries weren't very good either. It was a Friday night, and the place was almost empty. There was my family and one other couple, and even the bar had no one sitting there. We also asked about a kids' menu, but they don't have one. They said they could make a cheeseburger for our child, but when I asked the price, they told me it would be $17. That seemed way too expensive for a kid's burger. The drinks were disappointing too. The Diet Pepsi was flat and tasted watered down, and the iced tea had an odd flavor that almost tasted like ginger. On top of that, the service wasn't very good. Overall, it just wasn't a great experience, and unfortunately we won't be coming back.

I visited last Wednesday after searching for somewhere for my bestie and I to enjoy some drinks and…read moredinner. I made a reservation as Yelp has it readily available online. Upon arrival, there is maybe two couples in the restaurant, one in the dining room, and one sitting in their gorgeous outdoor patio. The entire restaurant was decked out in oak and woody earth tones with tasteful shapes, mirrors, and outlined with plants. An absolute vibe for these two girls with earth signs. We were met by one single staff member who ushered us to take a seat anywhere of our choosing (it was relatively empty so the reservation wasn't even acknowledged, which we didn't mind. I do not recall his name however he provided us with excellent service. (Wednesday the 15th @ 7:30) Now for drinks, my bestie ordered a strawberry margarita and I had ordered a menu drink that were both poured heavily and tasted phenomenal. We did not feel the need to order any additional glass or it may have turned into a party for two! My girlie and I are oyster people. We are also savory folk. We ordered a half dozen oysters and focaccia bread. To our extreme delight the appetizers were delicious and filling. However, we're on Yelp for a reason. FOOD, FOOD, FOOD. We're best friends for a reason, the steak sandwich caught our attention. It was dressed deliciously and paired with fries reminiscent of those from In N Out, and depending on who you ask that is a WIN! Overall we split the bill and felt it was better than expected to how grand our meal was. I wish I grabbed our servers name, he was a sweet gentleman that waited on two girls who could eat a cow and ask for dessert Definitely a space worth mentioning to out of town friends.

I recently had my daughter's college graduation party here. It was on the patio. My initial contact…read morewas Jo. She was great! She walked me through the entire process of set up for the event, which included our own decorations, patio furniture, and table placements for food and drinks. She provided me with her cell phone and was very responsive to any questions I had up to the day of the event. Brooke was our server the day of the event. I could not have asked for a better server to make this event amazing. She was very attentive to every guest as it was an open house from 12pm-3pm and people rotated in and out during the entire time. She kept our food table stocked and drinks full. She was very busy. But the real kicker was at the end of the day, I found out that the restaurant was short staffed and she was also providing the same attention to inside tables as well. I never even knew! I would highly recommend this location for parties, whether it is in the banquet room inside or the patio outside (w/ fountain)!!

I was beyond surprised to see the level of craftsmanship going into their drinks. Very casual setting. Pizza, wings, pastas... pizza and wings were delicious. Toppings were fresh and balanced. Wings are juicy and spicy and not overly breaded. Not sure if this place can be considered a "hidden" gem but definitely a gem.

EXCELLENT FOOD & FRIENDLY STAFF!!…read more As a 100% 66 year old Sicilian, I am usually very picky when it comes to Italian food, so when I say Ovidio's is the "real deal" in Italian dining, it carries some weight. We had a party of three and started with the Spicy Mussels and the Steamed Clams and both were excellent. We ordered the Veal Parmigiana, Eggplant Parmigiana and the combination Pasta platter of Lasagna, spaghetti & beef ravioli, served with meatballs or sausage. Everything was great! We finished with the Tiramisu which was also great! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - 5 STARS!!

If you love a good ol fashion steakhouse Richard's is the place to go…read more My family has been going for over 50 years. Don't let its location scare you! And use the back door. I don't know if I've ever used the front door. Sinatra style music, intimate booths and tables, dark wood, beautiful bar, waitresses and staff who are friendly and efficient. You can actually have an intimate conversation. We usually get the dinner for 2 for $89.99. Choice of salmon, New York steak or prime rib. Comes with a glass of house wine, shrimp cocktail (spicy sauce), soup or salad, choice of green beans (house specialty) or brown beans, potato (mashed, fries, or baked) or pilaf and your entree. The horseradish is served with zip not a watered down version you get sometimes ask for au jus it's so good. The bus boys refill your water glasses and remove plates quickly. The wonderful waitresses check in "All good? Do you want another glass of...?" The owner will come by and ask you how's your dinner and chit chat. Old fashion proprietor hospitality that we don't see enough any more. The original owner, Richard S did this as well and I love that his grandson carries on the tradition. Sit at the bar, either before or afterwards, hopefully Leeann will be bartending and have a well made drink, watch TV (not blaring) and just relax. Seriously, love this place and it's been where our family has celebrated many family special days or just a good meal after a long week for over 50 years.

2.5ish review incoming. I have mixed feelings about this…read moreplace. With so many other dynamite restraunts in town, I am not sure Richard's has much to brag about (comparatively) these days. I understand and respect their history, but that is not an excuse for them to continue to live in the past. It is bad enough their location has turned undesirable over the years, so they need to continue to improve aspects of the business to keep people coming in. There was a security guard at the entrance (FYI the entrance is in the back, so upon entering you are immediately greeted by the restrooms and the doors that show off the kitchen work space. Long story short, it makes for an awkward and uncomfortable start to your experience for a first timer). Anyways, the security guard was in the same place when we arrived (looking at his phone) and in the same place when we left (still looking at his phone). If someone messed with my car, which was out of sight slightly around the corner of the building close to Belmont, would he have noticed or cared? This question is sure to be up there with the ol timeless chicken or the egg quandry and the if a tree fell in a forest paradox) Positives: Their meats were good (we tried the prime rib, of course, and a bacon wrapped filet). No complaints there. I should mention I took my love and my momma for her bday. My mom enjoyed herself well enough. The service was good. The waitress humored my (sometimes annoying) mom (lmao) and the hostess was also nice, checking on us during the meal even. She brought my mom some ice cream at the end and led us in singing happy birthday, which was sweet. The main fault: the sides. They were so mundane it almost made the rest of the meal seem overpriced and lackluster. Sides should be something local or at least prepared. Instead it was some slop from a can or a warmer filled with hot liquid broth. It was like cafeteria food or the heated up veggies one might get during a hospital stay. Completely unacceptable quality if you want to maintain the allure of a fancy restraunt serving 40+ dollar cuts of meat. Rice was mediocre, mashed potatoes were decent but again probably a cost cutting side. So all in all, the food wasn't something to brag about. The interior has some nice paintings of bare chested ladies. As a champion for women, it seemed a little extreme that in my sight i could see 6 titties, but as a man, excluding my champion for women title, I thought it was great. However, being with my mom and my woman made this dichotomy even more perplexing. The strangest part of all of this was when I went in the men's restroom there wasn't another topless woman painting. Instead it was some old dude. Wth? That's when I relaized it was like the rest of the experience here - unique, a bit outdated, and all over the place. Still enjoyable, but also pretty sad and confusing.

It had a generous amount of avocado, which I appreciated, but the bacon was a bit overcooked and the bread was very basic. The Caesar salad was also bland. Considering the price, I was disappointed with the overall quality of the food. I also tried the Dubai chocolate iced latte. The pistachio flavor was delicious, but the drink itself tasted more like plain milk than chocolate or coffee. The restaurant has a classy, slightly upscale atmosphere with beautiful decor, but unfortunately the food didn't quite live up to that expectation. That said, the service was excellent. The servers were friendly and attentive.
