    The food was delicious but the service was somewhat lacking last night. This was my third visit to this restaurant and the first two, the service was stellar and just right. Last night everyone (sooo many people!) interacting with our table seemed new, nervous and less well oiled than previous experiences. I don't know if they've had a managerial shift or what but I was surprised for a Saturday night reservation that it was not as impressive as my other experiences, which was a shame as I had brought two friends who had never been before and I don't think they were as impressed as they should have been, especially for the cost. The main waiter was speaking so fast it was hard to understand what he was saying especially regarding the wine pairings. The sommelier poured the first tasting, his hands were shaking, then he never returned. It was just a disappointment compared to prior experiences but the food was delicious of course.

    Excellent Food, but Disappointing Pricing Transparency We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, expecting a special dining experience. While the food and wine were good, we were shocked when the final bill was nearly double what we had anticipated. We certainly expected to pay a premium for a Michelin-rated restaurant, but the pricing was not clearly communicated, leaving us feeling misled. Unfortunately, the surprise at the end of the evening overshadowed what should have been a memorable celebration. Michelin recognition or not, the overall experience simply did not justify the extraordinary cost. Greater transparency around pricing would have made a significant difference. Disappointing, particularly for such a special occasion.

    This was our first time at Frasca. The wine pairing was one of the best ever and highlights the importance of having a master sommelier on site. The food was excellent except a bit too salty on three of the 8 dishes we had. If we return, we’ll be sure and ask for less salt. I’m a chef and love salt, but would have liked less salt in some of the dishes.
