Fresco On First - (Near Dixon, IL)

5 /5 Dan Borisuk: We had the Buddha bowls, mine with steak and chipotle dressing, my wifes with chicken and honey mustard. Both were excellent. Avocado, mango and tomatoes were fresh and perfectly ripe. Also shared an excellent smoothie.

3 /5 Hilary Guerrero: I love Fresco on First the food is delicious and it’s one of the only places in the area where you can actually get something healthy. But the prices are getting pretty outrageous. I recently ordered an egg, spinach, and mozzarella panini for $12.95 and didn’t realize it was only half a panini. For nearly $13, I expected a full-size sandwich or at least a bigger portion. It tasted great, but the value just isn’t there. I feel like they take advantage of being the only healthy option around, which is disappointing.

4 /5 Tammy Strub: Today was the first time we went to Fresco On First but wont be the last. The service was outstanding and could not have been better and I would have given it 5 Stars had they been handicap accessible. There are at least 3 stairs to go up no matter if you use the front or back entrance. The parking is limited unless you want to walk a ways from the public parking lot. We had a mix of different types of foods ordered at the table. There was a breakfast skillet, a childs grilled cheese meal, a taco meal, a steak sandwich served with a salad and a chicken coconut curry served with a side salad. There were 2 boba teas ordered and both were very much enjoyed. We also ordered the strawberry banana crepes. Every dish was perfectly prepared, presented and served hot and fresh just as they were ordered. We had a little girl at the table celebrating her birthday and the servers came out with a little dessert cup and sang happy birthday to her making her feel very special.

3 /5 G: very mediocre experience. waitress was not attentive, no refills and brought salad out late. food was alright, salad was fresh but the stir fry sauce for the stir fry tasted like it came straight from a can. atmosphere is nice. overall too expensive for the service provided. not impressed. Id find another lunch place to eat at or make it at home! Definitely not an anomaly review. seems consistent.

4 /5 Jay Kemp: Fresco on First is a nice shop located in downtown Dixon. I have previously visited under a different name (Ginko Tree). Today, I went in for breakfast. The atmosphere is relaxing. I was greeted by pleasant smiles and helped quickly. I ordered a meat skillet with scrambled eggs and pancakes and tried a couple different teas. The skillet is a good sized portion, it looks appealing and smells even better. The eggs are fluffy and cooked just right, the onions and other vegetables are cut fresh and their flavors and smells compliment the meat and potatoes in the rest of the dish. The pancakes (substituted for toast) are light and fluffy with a hint of sweetness, and cooked to perfection. I ordered two different teas from the menu that I can not remember the names of. One was a coconut Oolong which I enjoyed. Overall I had a very pleasant experience at Fresco on First and will go back for the great service and fresh food.
