I was in Rockford for one night and had read about this place beforehand. I found the place, walked in the entrance and...stood there awkwardly for a couple of minutes, unacknowledged, while the people on both sides of the bar continued about their business. Had I not been so determined to try this place, I would have turned around and... More

We visited Abreo for the first time recently, and it was a great experience! From the setting to the food to the service - Abreo didn't disappoint. Our server was helpful in discussing the menu and suggesting combinations of small plates, and she was right on! We really enjoyed the barramundi and the beef tenderloin was also terrific. The apple... More

I don't usually review places in my hometown for some reason, but Abreo is by far our FAV place to eat when we go out as a couple or as a group of wine lovers! Paul is a wonderful, creative chef & is so accomodating when doing a Chef's Tasting, for those of us who don't care for certain items.... More

I dropped in for a glass of wine and small plate. This restaurant is elegant and comfortable. It's not pretentious, although the food is good enough to be snobby if they chose to be. One of the owners, the chef's father, was a perfect host, checking to see that I enjoyed every sip and bite. My server was Eric, the... More

Abreo is a great place to go as a couple or with friends. The small plates are perfect to order a selection and share. Service and ambiance coupled with the excellent food make it a great restaurant.

Delve into the sinfully mouth watering creations of Chef Paul Sletten. I have been coming here for about 3 years now and the presentation not to mention the taste of the food never disappoints. With it's chic atmosphere along with local musical talent playing from time to time, you can't help but feel at home in this little mystic cove... More

Liked it all except the price. best food in Rockford, best drinks too. Wonderful atmosphere. We went on Valentine Day, it was a preselected menu and cost about $100 by the time we left.

Four foodies. We like trying new places. We rarely go back to the same place twice, but we will have to return to Abreo. The food, the service, the atmosphere combine to give you such an unexpectedly lovely evening. Reservations at 6:30 as we made the reservations late so we were seated in the bar area when we arrived.
