Service was friendly but slow. Found out later that soup wasn’t available and had to re-order something else. Order that wasn’t affected came last and had to prompt to get it made. Was a busy night for the staff and it showed. Otherwise, always enjoy Fresh on Front.

We love George! proposed to come back every year on the date that I propose to my wife. We’ve been doing this for 11 years now. Not only is the food great, and the sommelier-based wine pairings are phenomenal, it’s also the little things like them remembering exactly where we sit, and they give us the same booth every time without even asking. I can’t say enough good things about the staff, the food, the ambience. It’s definitely Worth to go for a special occasion!
