What an amzaing job this place did..... I am blown away! I graduated from East in 2003 and this…read moreplace was just a small whole.in the wall breakfast place as I thought I remembered. Boy was I wrong... The place is huge, it is very clean, lots of happy employees, very busy, fast service, fresh cooked meals, home cooked meals, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. They even have thier own bakery in house. I just cant believe it. Not the place I remember coming 15 years ago. I would hear people say we are going there to eat and I never even considerd it because I thought it was a old folks retirement center dining hall. I stand corrected amd I am on the record telling everyone this place is the real deal. Swedish everything! Come see for yourself. I went twice in 3 days. ( breakfast and dinner) both days was great service amd food!

The burrito was so good, since I got it with no cheese I asked for verde salsa on the side which was the right move - highly recommend the mod. Lots of bees outside, recommend sitting inside -which is our only regret.

My husband and I met my cousin and his wife here on a beautiful sunny day which made the gardens…read morelook fantastic. Two of us had the Fresco burgers. The buns were toasted which made mine dry. The sandwich itself was dry throughout. It had some kind of sauce sparingly on both sides of the burger. It wasn't served with ketchup, which is fine, if there is something to make it moist enough. Maybe if the sandwich had had more than one tomato. I asked for fruit instead of the fries and the fruit was wonderful - strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, pineapple. Another person had a lovely salad, which I didn't catch the name of, but I'm sure the unique part of it was that it had beets on top. The final person had the Nashville Fried Chicken Sandwich. He felt the sandwich was left in the fryer a little too long. Jamie H was our waiter and he was very attentive. He came and filled our drinks before they were even empty. Made sure we were happy with everything. Big problem!!! All they had left for dessert, at lunchtime, was 3 different sorbets. Very disappointing!!!

When visiting the Andersen Japanese Garden we started our visit with lunch at Fresco at the…read moreGardens. The dining room is stunning with a full wall of windows that make the inside feel like you're in the garden. They also have two outdoor seating areas and we sat in one. The patio is structured so you feel like you are seating in the trees. The menu was average. I couldn't find anything on the lunch menu that interested me so I ordered the breakfast sandwich. The bagel was huge and it came with a nice portion of scrambled eggs and sausage that seemed made in house. It was served with a bowl of fruit which was topped with delicious granola. The waiter was friendly and attentive. If we return to the garden we definitely get lunch there again.

Enjoyed a business dinner here. Upscale but not overly fancy. Food was on point!…read more I enjoyed their OLD FASHIONED cocktail. I had asked for a smoked old fashioned, which they thought they could do, but apparently no longer had their smoker accessible. I ordered a STEAK with side of mashed potatoes and sauteed onions. I had a brown gravy to pour on steak whichade the dish phenominal, exploding in umami flavors. We were a large party and service was great.

The Gouda dip was very tasty with plenty of perfectly toasted bread. I ordered the skate with orange sauce and it was so delicious. I was so happy the side was Brussels sprouts that the chef cooked exactly how I do! My daughter ordered the chicken katsu sandwich (huge!) with amazing house fried potatoes (so crispy!). The chocolate cake dessert was epic! Next time in Rockford, we will be back! Great job Chef and also the wait staff!
