We stopped in Fresno on our way to Yosemite; this restaurant was recommend by our hotel (it wasn't far away), and it was excellent. It was a busy Saturday night and we did not have reservations, but the server was very gracious and seated us in the bar. I had the scallops and my husband had a salmon special--both were... More

From arrival to leaving the staff was very attentive. We had a very relaxing dinner, really delicious food and a nice bottle of wine to share. My steak was cooked to perfection & was amazingly tender. Be sure to save room for desert as the raisin pudding cake (okay, I forgot the exact name) is well known and amazingly delicious.... More

Celebrated our daughter's and grandson's birthdays here and all of us had a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding and the service couldn't have been better. My wife and I had Halibut, one of their specials for the evening. Halibut can get dried out but this was perfect and even better than my previous best when visiting in Alaska. We... More

Love this place. Always go there for any special occasion. The Mala-Insana Napoleon appetizer is world class as is the bread pudding for dessert. Small place allows them to focus on exceptional quality.

It is located at the southwest corner of Shaw & Fresno St. just east of Fwy 41, don't let the appearance of the Mission Village strip mall deceive you because Cracked Pepper is truly a gem of a restaurant. We have been going to this restaurant ever since it opened a few years ago and the quality of the food... More

Made reservations and was then seated by a noisy party. Served "wild" salmon, which it was not. Shame on you. Food was served warm, not hot. Not worth the money.

The food was very good, very California, and well prepared. It had just the right mix of unusual gourmet items along with things you can eat. It was priced accordingly, however, I could never put out of my mind that I was in a suburban strip mall where a Subway or pizza parlor should have been. This negatively affected my... More
