We had the halibut special with crab, the rainbow trout, and the ribeye. The halibut was…read morespectacular. Melted in your mouth. The trout was very good; the dill sauce was a great accent. Both came with a kale and quinoa salad which was refreshing with a hint of heat. A+. Unfortunately the ribeye initially was overdone. My partner ordered medium rare, and although the steak was flavorful, there was no pink in sight and it was slightly tough. After a few minutes, when our server checked in, we let him know, a manager came over soon after, and he said he would have it redone. It took longer than expected, and the other two of us were done eating before it arrived. In fact, I was panicked that the steak would again be overdone as some time had passed, and I said that to the server. But the steak was perfectly done when it arrived. To make up for the lateness, the manager offered us a dessert. We had the key lime and it was amazing. Surprisingly but appreciatively we were comped the steak. They made it right and that is important. Service was good. I did run out of water a few times. My only real complaint there was the server should have asked us to cut into the steak right away. I wish all restaurants did this. This is our second time here. We were here last year and had a great meal then as well. We will be back.

Apparently this place has been here for about a year or so. So, decided to try it! First thing i…read morenoticed was the bar and the upscale decor. There were at least three hostesses/waiters/tresses greeting us at the door. It's more of an adult environment. Very nice! We ordered an app, the cornbread, their claim to fame. And it certainly was fantastic!!! I had the cowboy salad. It was all chopped up just how I like my salads. Perfect amount of ingredients, they didn't skimp! The only issue, and I could have asked for more, was they should bring a small side of dressing when they bring the salads out. Regardless the salad was yummy! The prices were steep but not any more than you would expect to pay in an upscale restaurant, $23. And, what I appreciated was they DO NOT INCLUDE AN AUTO GRATUITY! YAY!!! Overall the experience was outstanding; environment was beautiful, service was good, food was delicious. We will be back, many times I'm sure!

Everything I've tried has been exceptional. The owner, Anthony, is also amazing. He truly goes above and beyond for his guests, and you can tell how much he genuinely cares about his restaurant and every person who walks through the door. That kind of attention and hospitality makes such a difference. As an Italian, I'm extremely picky when it comes to Italian food, and I can confidently say this is some of the best Italian food around. Between the incredible food, great atmosphere, and amazing service, Fresta's has quickly become one of my favorite places. If you're in the area, definitely check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Wish I could speak about the entire menu but I always get the same thing....beef cheesesteak! The chicken cheesesteak is also excellent in the bites I've stolen. The beef cheesesteak is the best I've had outside of Philadelphia. The bread is from Philly. (Pro tip: if the bread is not from Philly don't bother ordering the Philly cheesesteak). The owner is from Philly & brought his passion for his favorite Philly cheesesteaks that he grew up eating with him to Sarasota. I travel to Sarasota frequently to visit family & always make plans to go here. My family has raved about other dishes but for me the order is simple....beef Philly cheesesteak with "side" Caesar salad (which is large and absolutely fantastic as well). Until the next time....
