    Delicious food and very accommodating

    Enjoyed the food here and they gave us a table where we had ample room for our dog to join. Would absolutely go here again.

    Wonderful experience!

    We had 2 great meals, excellent service from Brian and our 2 big, old dogs were treated as we would have. They were brought water, and were given attention from several servers. Great location on the harbor. Only downside was shade is provided by umbrellas, and we had to keep moving around our table to keep the pups in the shade on a warm day. You should go!

    Excellent place!

    We came to downtown St Pete with our Blue Heeler Callie with the intent on having lunch at Doc Fords, but there was a 1 1/2 hour wait so we went to BringFido.com for another suggestion. After reading the reviews for Fresco's we decided to give it a try. It was very busy but they got us a table right away by the water. They brought Callie a bowl of ice water and gave her tons of love! I had the Fresco bowl which was amazing and my husband loved their burger. Parking tip - there is a lot of parking available down the pier and even at it's farthest point, it's a nice 5 - 10 minute walk along the water to get back to Fresco's. Great place, highly recommend - we will definitely be back!

    Great location

    You can sit outdoors with your pup, next to the marina and enjoy your food. Then you can go for a walk nearby.

    Great Spot for Friendly Pups!

    Husband and I took our two little ones here for lunch! It was very busy but we got in pretty quickly. The food was good and the atmosphere was amazing! Pups everywhere!

    Bay views, rays swimming by

    Very accommodating for pets, our waitress offered a bowl of water and let us know about the secret dog menu, $5 for a grilled chicken breast! Bella was comfortable being a lap dog for our meal so she passed in the chicken but enjoyed her visit, will be back again!

    Great burgers!

    Nice place to go sit on the pier with the pup. Didn't get offered a bowl of water for her so I asked for a cup of it to refill the bottle/bowl combo I carry with me. Love that they gave her chicken from the dog menu - with no seasonings. Pier area is a little small though so I felt the need to keep moving my big pup to under the table to ensure she didn't trip anyone.

    Great option!

    The food was very good and they brought my doggy his own grilled chicken in a doggy bowl so that he could eat with us. Very friendly staff and great service.

    Dog Friendly and Delicious - A Find

    Came to town to check out Fort de Soto Dog Beach and hit up bringfido.com for all the dog-friendly eateries. This one was very good, great service, delicious meals (I had corvina and hubby had grouper), and they bring you water for the pooch right away. Many people stopped by for a pet or a pat so our German Shepherd had a steady stream of admirers! Highly recommended.
