264 Fresco is an absolute gem! We had the pleasure of sitting upstairs on the deck, and the views of the ocean were simply breathtaking. The ambiance was perfect—elegant, bright, and inviting, with a mix of stylish and homey accents that made us feel right at home. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive and knowledgeable in gluten free options, making our experience even more special. The food was outstanding! As an Italian restaurant, Fresco 264 truly knows how to deliver. The wood-fired dishes were bursting with flavor! We also had a fantastic selection of appetizers, try the beef carpaccio and the meatballs! The drinks were on point, with a great variety of options to choose from. Whether you're looking for a cozy night out or a special occasion, Fresco 264 is the place to go. A note for families, the deck is always 21+ highly recommend!

"Wow, just wow. We went to Vigilucci's while we were visiting family, and it was an amazing dining experience. From the moment we walked, the ambience was elevated. The food? Forget about it. I had the risotto, which is gluten free, and it was clear it was homemade – like, seriously delicious. My son went for a steak, and it came out very undercooked so we unfortunately had to send it back. My husband had the sea scallops and raved about it all night. The view? Wow again. We timed it perfectly for sunset, and watching the sun dip into the ocean while we ate was just magical. It wasn't stuffy or anything, even though it's clearly a fancy place. It just felt…comfortable and celebratory. You can tell they really care about the little things, like how the table was set and how attentive our server was. I also heard they're adding a new patio next year with even better ocean views, as if it could get any better. If you're looking for a place to make a special memory, or just want an amazing meal with a killer view, you HAVE to try Vigilucci's!

We came for Christmas Eve dinner which was a prefix menu. There were several choices per course with gluten free and vegetarian options. The food, drinks, and service were excellent. It's a hotel restaurant that is off the lobby so the ambiance doesn't quite match the quality of everything else but it didn't detract from our experience.

Wow, this food is delicious! My husband and I wanted to try several things so we did a 7 inch pizza, and three half orders of pasta. It was more food than we expected and all so amazing. We were hungry, ate more than we should have and still have leftovers that we are very excited to eat tomorrow. There were lots of gluten free options and the pasta dishes can be made gluten free. We will definitely be coming back!

I love this place and the food actually is really good. But it’s SO freaking expensive. I came here for lunch with my five-year-old and I got a bowl of lobster bisque and a chicken Caesar salad with gluten-free bread and an iced tea. With tip it was $64! That’s just crazy. I feel like I got ripped off.

Usually Crust makes the best gluten free pizza, Not last night. Seems they were short of people so it looks like they had someone who never made pizza before make it... It was the worst I have ever seen or tasted. Opening the box all I saw was a flood of cheese. I could not even see the pizza. If this is what they do just to get your money, I will not dine there again. Who knows what they may do next.

I had the steak and eggs with hash browns. Juicy meat. Gluten free toast. Overall pleasant experience. Bigger place than expected. I stuck to eating what I am familiar with.

Our son has horrible allergies to wheat and dairy. We are able to come here and have gluten free options that the staff ensures is safe for our son. It’s priceless knowing he’s safe and your staff truly cares!

SKC is a nice place to stop for breakfast if you have your dogs with you and are looking for a gluten-free meal. Our short rib and hashbrown cakes was very good, perfectly flavored on the mild-side, and a filling portion to enjoy. Our Monterey omelet was missing something, we cannot figure out what should be added or left out. The bacon was great, but we lost the rest of the flavoring.
