Amazing experience…read more Food was really good. I'd recommend for two sharing a combo boil. It's a lot of food. If you've never been to a seafood boil before, please ask your server any questions you have. Extremely helpful. We had Amy as our server. She was the best!! Lisa as the owner was an amazing support to tables around us. Definitely a team effort. Really good coordination between management, kitchen, and servers. We had the Utica Bag with all sauces. Definitely worth it. We used Uber and it tried to take us to the back of the building. The driver was kind to listen to our "no it had to be the other side of the building." Extremely clean. So many places don't wipe things down anymore. We'll be back!

Wow I am so excited to share this review! What an amazing experience we had at this restaurant…read more Welcomed with a friendly greeting & beautiful smile, Chase offered us a comfy booth. Then greeted by Kyle our waiter who was awesome! So classy, and so prompt, great service, suggestions, check backs, fantastic! Now the food! The bang bang cauliflower was delicious. Crispy outside, tasty seasoning, tender cauliflower. Outstanding salads with tender chicken on the Caesar salad and the shrimp was perfectly cooked on the Asian salad with crisp mixed lettuce and a sweet savory dressing. Kudos to the chef or chefs. One of the best restaurants! We will be back! Hoping to sit on the outdoor patio that I am sure is wonderful in a nice day. They also have a private room for special events. A fantastic drink menu is a bonus.

Chowder House continues its tradition of excellence, even when short staffed due to a blizzard. The…read moreNew England clam chowder was flavorful and creamy. The fried clam strips are absolutely a must. They are getting hard to find around the country and it is a pleasure to be able to get them when in Utica. They are seasoned just right. The oysters were a bit small, but very fresh and served with wonderful accompaniments. The haddock was perfectly cooked. And everyone at my table seemed pleased with the full variety of this most satisfying menu. Coffee and dessert were very nice. No cappuccino or espresso, but that's not why you come to this delightful seafood restaurant. I will continue to come back when I am in Utica.

Had a real nice meal on a Friday evening at the chowder house…read more Waitress took our drink order (by the way they do not offer light beer). Ordered a UC because....we'll just because. The dining area had lots of decorations as you'd imagine the theme was beach like. Started off with calamari and it was very unique - the rings were cut thinner than most places and the light breading really let the flavors come through...definitely fresh and really good. Opted for the deep fried haddock and shrimp special, shrimp were very large and still had bite to them so I have to believe they were very fresh. Beer battered haddock was good - two strips with a nice coating. Took a pic of the dinner but it came out lousy - good reason to return.

Always a great time whether it's me and the folks or hanging with the girlfriends When with the…read moregirls we do have a tendency to do brunch where we order one of everything and sit and enjoy for a few hours Highly Recommend

A real struggle on graduation weekend:…read more Party of 12, Saturday night. We were told that it wasn't going to be a prix fixe menu as we were a party of under 12 when the reservation was booked (we asked). It was. Selection was somewhat limited particularly for the vegetarians but the waitress said that they could swap veggies in for the trout in the risotto. They didn't. It was just risotto. Potato leek soup. So salty that it was inedible. Like sea water salty. Three of us sent it back. NY Strip. Boring and clearly hadn't been seasoned before cooking (ironic). Not quite cold but really, really close. A little tiny ramekin of chimichurri sauce which I was supposed it make it interesting or tasty I guess. It was neither. The whipped potatoes were delicious. Desert was a borderline interminable wait. And then they served gelato and sorbet to four of us. Think milkshake. A thin, runny milkshake, approaching soup. The food runners and waitress were so embarrassed they couldn't look at us when they dropped the desert and ran. Who lets ice scream, posing as soup out of the kitchen. It used to be a quaint little place with fantastic food ... And now, an overpriced, industrial'ish place with sub-par food (although the owners are clearly cashing out, leaning on its prior reputation). Unfortunate. $85 a head, $1,500 all in with drinks and tip.

I don't know if my experience was typical, but I got the jumbo haddock fish fry and a side of…read moremedium fries and coleslaw and they somehow got my food out in less than 6 minutes. Everything tasted great and when they say jumbo they really mean it. I'm the kind of person who can eat an 18 inch pizza in one sitting and I barely finished it all. The fish was hot and crispy and they did a good job with the coleslaw - a lot of places make it too sweet but Fresco knows what they're doing. Their fries are addicting - honestly I would go back just for the fries. Only thing I would say is they should switch to wooden tables and chairs and keep salt, pepper, ketchup, and napkins at every table. The food came out hot but it got cold in just a few minutes sitting on a metal table. Maybe some baseboard heating in the dining area would help too - it was 20F today and you could definitely feel the chill!

Unfortunately the cold cuts tasted past their prime. Dressing was some jarred vinaigrette...no olive oil, or vinegar. The pasta was delicious. Cavatelli swimming in marinara. (also certain sauce came from a jar ) Meatballs??! Criminal. Hard shell on outside... obviously not dropped in sauce. Abysmal. ALSO tasted past their prime! Beautiful loaf of bread. My wife had "hats and broccoli" and loved it. Ambiance... looks tired. Somebody is giving up.

Inside, it's pretty small but cozy. We got the rice balls as a starter and they were absolutely delicious. I'm pretty sure they use ricotta inside, which was genius. I got the fried bologna sandwich but put the long hots on the side, and it was still great. My friend got the Ciro sandwich and liked it as well. We both thought the fries were great, too. The prices really can't be beat, so there's honestly no reason to not try this place out! I'm looking forward to my next trip back!

Cute crab shack ambience, it's a hot spot so order or arrive before the dinner crowd. My first visit was a Saturday around 6 and it was crowded and not a seat to be had! All the seafood platters being served looked amazing, so I knew I was in the right spot! I was greeted as I approached the counter and was assisted with my take out and recommended popular party sack combinations. I ordered #3 which includes a lobster tail, one cluster or 1/2 lb snow crab, 1/2 lb shrimp (I recommend requesting Head Off!) a piece of corn, and 2-3 potatoes. I chose Cajun seasoning and, very hot spice. Warning you best be a very spicy hot lover, it was challenging but loved it! I have already returned for a second time, also #3 sack added extra corn $3 and extra potatoes $3. CrabnGo special seasoning and still extra hot! Delicious not as over the top as Cajun Hot! $47 and change with the added corn and potatoes. $42 and change without. Only one quarter piece of corn first order and two potatoes. Love it! It's going to be dangerous now that I've tried this Cajun Seafood that makes you feel like you are in the Bayou! And the heat that matches!
