    We love coming to the Anderson Japanese Gardens and the Fresco is a delicious treat. We've enjoyed both the breakfast and lunch options, with exquisite attention to flavors and presentation. A wide offering of beverages are available and we look forward to trying the mimosas. Outstanding dining in a garden setting. Sit outside in good weather or request a window seat and soak in the beauty of the gardens.
