Breakfast Menu "Cracked Pepper Bistro" Fresno

We had the best night tonight. The service was wonderful, Jodie, our server was spectacular, attentive, kind, and very knowledgeable. The bartenders were top notch, quick, and made delicious cocktails. Overall the experience was marvelous and the food was delicious! We will be back for sure!

This restaurant is always 5* for service, food quality and drinks. We're always celebrating a birthday, anniversary or date night. It's in our top 3 for fine dining in Fresno. I highly recommend the scallops, eggplant appetizer and bread pudding. SO yummy 😋

My favorite restaurant ever. All time. Very pricey, but everything on the menu is good. I think I’ve had it all. Here’s what you do: appetizer - Eggplant and goat cheese dish. Main plate - anything. Dessert - Bread Pudding. That’s the secret. Enjoy!

Where do I begin. The Restaurant is nice very clean and comfortable the service is excellent and very attentive to detail. Over all this is the perfect restaurant until you eat the food. Starter $19.50 Eggplant Napoleon Tasty and very interesting this was the Best thing we ate at the restaurant very interesting and very delicious combination of flavor. Stilton Blue Salad with bacon $18.00 Hard Little Gem Wedges with no Flavor they put a Drizzle of port reduction with 2 slices of pear and 3 Nuts the greens are half in edible because you cant really eat the bottom of the wedges. Herb Chicken $31.50 Dry bland and way Overcooked this was easily one the worst tasting Chicken dishes ever had in my life. The Chicken was Butterflied and the Butter Sauce they put on was bland and boring accompanied by Steamed Vegetables with absolutely no seasoning this was a very sad display of execution on the kitchens part best thing on plate was the Marscapone mashed Potatoes. The world famous Bread Pudding ( Thats what the Server said ) $14 A Big Flavorless piece of warm bread with a Caramel ring of Sysco Processed Caramel and topped with a flavorless Whipped Cream but they call this a Chantilly Cream (No Flavor No Sugar No Vanilla, Nothing) this was really sad. A great bread pudding is the ultimate way to end a meal and this lackluster version really reminds you at the end of the night that this place is no more than an over priced Under flavored establishment that caters to rich older folks who have no real Culinary Palate. Other than the Napoleon this is a real shame and a very disappointing night.

Wow! The best service we've ever had! Our waitress/bartender was so attentive and always acknowledged us. We got ribeye steak and bread pudding bites....everything delicious. The restaurant itself is not as big as I thought it would be but it's very nice. Upscale dining. Gourmet plates. Our total was $88 for 2 drinks, 1 entree, and 1 dessert. Dark ambience. I do not recommend sitting by the entrance because we had the cold air hitting us constantly...winter time:/ But 5 stars for the service!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We went here 7 years ago, and we were expecting another exceptional dining experience. Not so much anymore. For those who have difficulty with eating cilantro, your dining experience may be restricted - and there were no "hold the cilantro" alternatives for the dishes we wanted. In addition, the bar was given two tries for a cocktail shaken well, but they inexplicably couldn't do it - shaken a bit doesn't cut it.

Out of the handful of great restaurants in the Fresno area, I chose Cracked Pepper Bistro based on the menu items and pictures here on Google Maps, and they certainly did not disappoint! Worth mentioning was the Mala Insana Napoleon appetizer—a must-order item—as it was so greaaaat! Different kind of textures and flavors so well blended together: the crispiness from the pumpkin seed encrusted eggplant contrasted with the softness of the tomatoes, paired with the creaminess/smoothness from the goat cheese and the crunchiness from the walnut pesto between the veggie layers. There were a lot going on, but harmoniously! So good! The Stilton Blue Salad was also very good. I have never seen little gem lettuces and was pleasantly surprised by the small size, which made very good presentation. The saltiness of the blue cheese paired very well with the sweetness of the Asian pear and candied walnuts, but I wish there were just a bit more of the pear and walnut pieces to make a better balance. I also wish the port wine reduction to be a little stronger so the taste will come through better. We were full after our meal but couldn't resist ordering the Bread Pudding. It's so nice that they offer an unbaked option so we can bake it at home to enjoy. It came with instructions and was easy/error-proof to bake, and the results were great and delicious! Definitely another must-order item! The Ahi Tuna appetizer and Short Ribs entree we ordered were well-executed well and good-tasting (as expected). So this was our dinner experience: food was delicious, and the service was meticulous and warm but not too much. We will definitely be back!

We've come here many times. Love the atmosphere, friendly competent staff, great cocktails, delicious appitizers, and of course, the bread pudding. BUT, for my husbands retirement we ordered the $85 dry aged ribeye. IT WAS TERRIBLE... tough, fatty and tasteless. Do not order it!!
