Great Al Fresco Dining Experience Had a wonderful evening meal here! The Al Fresco Garden Cafe setting was perfect, offering a relaxing ambiance. The food had great variety and was enjoyable to taste. The location is peaceful, slightly off the main road, which adds to its charming, rustic vibe. It’s a small but cozy place, making it ideal for a casual dinner with friends. The staff was friendly and welcoming, adding to the pleasant experience.

A really nice spot to chill and have something nice to eat. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the ambiance was very calming. The pricing was decent as well. We had the honey garlic sandwich which was really good and a crispy chicken burger which was also good but kinda dry at the same, would recommend the staff to add more sauces on it to improve the dryness. The pineapple juice was delicious and not overly sweet which was lovely.

We ordered a creamy mushroom pasta and they had mistakenly given us a creamy mushroom spaghetti. When we inquired about the issue they were very friendly and quickly handled it and prepared a pasta. Really appreciate the helpful staff <3 The cafe is pretty, but I wouldn’t recommend visiting during humid hours. Food is good.

Recommended 100% The food was amazing and the portions are incredibly filling. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking and photographic location. Prices may seem like bite expensive at first but trust me it’s worth it. Limited menu options available. Yet it’s fulfilling. Cozy, Classy and BYOB is available.

This is a cute place. Open to outdoor dining and the decor is very nice. The food is a bit pricey but the ambience makes it worth it. We had pizza, chocolate cookie milk shake, a brownie and a caramel machiato. Not the biggest fan of the pizza. Not worth the price. The milkshake was unbelievably goof though. Its got a very peaceful vibe

Food is simply out of this world!!! But make sure to call them before you go because they sometimes have different menus depending on the time you go. Regardless, Al Fresco has good food and a good customer service. Highly recommended!!!
