Frederick's does not disappoint! It is truly a wonderful experience to dine there. The food is consistently delicious. The desserts are amazing! My family has dined there for years and the last time during lobster fest ( had the lobster salad) this August the food was the delicious and the service exceptional read more

i love Frederick's! being one of my grandfather's favorite restaurants I am fortunate to be able to go there quite often. and every time i order the same thing, the lump crab meat salad, DELICIOUS. i always say im going to try something new, but then i just can't turn down my usual. of course after our main course we've got to get dessert. the cherry ice cream, a must have. its on the higher end of the scale price wise, lunch is going to end up being around $20 a person, but i highly recommend you try it out if you havent been! also it is very small, so make a reservation! read more

We'll....Frederick's Restaurant gets one star because that is required. Otherwise...zero stars would have been our first choice. From the moment we walked in the door we were treated as an inconvenience/burden. The hostess/waitress....not really sure what her job/title was ,barely uttered a word to us. She simply motioned at an table and immediately asked us what we wanted to drink. We assumed we were supposed to guess what was on the menu of drink options. When asked about the house wines we got a curt one word response. She was either not informed or once again couldn't be bothered. Mind you....we were still without a drink menu. We decided to go ahead and order two house wines and wait until the rest of our party arrived. As expected, she was unwelcoming to them as well. When asked for menus she threw them at us like a Vegas card dealer! The four of us were stunned!! At that point, we had enough. We did have a laughable moment during our visit....we noticed that "Unhappy Hour" started at 4:00. When we called to make our reservations we were told 5:00. If the person answering the phone had bothered to consult the front door or the menu we could have been unhappy a full hour earlier. If you are still considering Frederick's ....consider bringing your own bread... The HEB at Lincoln Heights would certainly appreciate your business. The tables were beautifully set with plenty of butter but don't expect the waitstaff to bring any bread for that butter. We did learn a valuable lesson ....don't assume an overall review score of 4 out of 5 is any indication of good service. Most of the high ratings were not current. We wanted to love this restaurant but will not be returning. We hope Fredericks can rebound because word travels fast. read more

Our party enjoyed a nice weeknight dinner at Frederick's. The man who greeted us at the door was very polite. Our server was professional and she warmed up to us as the night progressed. The ambiance was a little stuffy, but it wasn't terrible. We had no complaints about our food and we especially liked the seafood platter, seabass, and duck with cranberry sauce. I sensed that the kitchen really cared about the food being served. But, there was nothing to write home about. And I'm not sure that any of us would feel compelled to go back without some sort of enticement (e.g., Groupon, restaurant week). I just expect more out of SA restaurants in this price range. read more

The food at Frederick's is amazing. The waitstaff is friendly and know their menu. We went and pretty much left our meal and wine choices to our waiter and were pleased at the care and love put into the dishes we were served. Portion sizes were ample, the tastes were delicate and balanced. The only reason they do not get all five stars is for the decor. It was a step back in time. If it were 1986 this would have been a very classy and romantic place. It is still nice and romantic, but you do feel like you are in a bit of a time warp. That being said, I go to restaurants for the food, and I will be coming back to Frederick's read more

It was great food, Shawn was great. They were a little short staff today. So things didn't run a smoothly as they should have. The duck and the veal were fantastic as the fresh scallops, fish and lamb. Really enjoyed the calamari appetizer was amazing. Small hidden treasure. More mature crowd, but worth a try. read more

We love this small neighborhood restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious and if you get one of the female waitresses, you will have amazing service as well. We love the crab cakes and the grilled garlic shrimp. Another hit in our family is the pecan crusted fish (usually tilapia or snapper). All the portions are generous and we usually end up taking home doggie bags to enjoy the next day. Make a reservation if you plan on a weekend night. read more

Thoroughly impressed. Very few restaurants deserve a 5 but Fredericks is well worthy the try.

The only reason for 2 stars was the exceptional food. There were 4 of us at dinner and we all enjoyed our meal. That said, the desserts were marginal, especially the chocolate pecan cake. The ambiance was nonexistent. The table wasn't set, the loudness was deafening, the space was dark and dank, sort of like the feeling of a bar. The service was lacking in all things expected of a fine dining restaurant. Lety, our waitress, acted like she couldn't be bothered. The table's buser kept reaching over us to place and remove plates even though there was room to walk around the table. It was quite a disappointment to go to a nice restaurant for the first time since the lock down and have it be so unpleasant. When I called the manager, who was absent that night, to report the horrible service, he offered no recourse. Our table spent several hundred dollars and the only good thing was the food. It should be a package deal, an experience when eating at a restaurant with a reputation for fine dining. Sorry we won't be back. read more

I move to SA a year ago. I've read about this restaurant and have been wanting to try. I bought a Living Social coupon. This is one of the best meals I've had a very long time. I moved here from Washington, DC so I know great food. The Happy Hour wine was really good. I had Merlot, my daughter had the Cab. We tried the Escargot with Spanish Chorizo. What a great combination. I've only had traditional Escargot with butter and garlic. I loved this almost as much. Then my daughter and I shared the Grouper with an avocado salsa and beurre blanc. Amazing. The grouper was lightly fried with a crispy crust. The entree also included delicious roasted vegetables. Our portions were very generous considering we asked to share. Our server was so attentive and asked if we'd like extra beurre blanc. I said yes, but he forgot to bring. Before we had a chance to order a desert, our server showed up with a sample of three delicious deserts. We will definitely return w/out a coupon. Well worth the price. read more

Of the two locations Broadway is our favorite. It is a neighborhood fine dining experience, every item is simply delicious. Service is friendly. It is our go-to place for every occasion. There is a private dining room for celebrations. Highly recommended to tourist looking for a neighborhood experience. read more

Very dissapointed on the service this time this past Saturday. We were a party of 7 celebrating my husband's bday. Last two times it has been the same. Food was not as great either. The duck was more like chicken. Two huge legs ( more like chicken legs) when duck is smaller. Not worth the almost $$$600. tag. read more

Suburb!! We started with the escargot which was so tasty and some wonderful hot rolls and butter. The pork chop I ordered was better than Perry's in Houston. My husband had the rack of lamb and was equally as delicious with very generous portions. The Le Trio dessert sampler was lovely and a good way to taste test three desserts. Nice romantic atmosphere. This is a well kept hidden treasure in the Alamo Heights area. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing fish specials, expertly prepared. Quiet romantic atmosphere. Great cocktails. My favorite San Antonio restaurant

I love this place. Great service and food!!! I have been twice and had a wonderful experience both times.

Used to love coming to this place with my folks and finally had a chance to go back. Wine was great even though the glass had numerous fingerprints from being moved from tables when unused. The Caesar salad was very nice. Unfortunately we were served week old fish that was difficult to chew and, since that was what we came for, pretty well devastated the meal. Veggies were very good. We inquired about the fish and the waiter said it should not have been served but they didn't have any more. Huh? How about letting the diner chose something else? Waiter avoided us after serving entree but did comp one entire. Guess they were waiting to see if we would eat what they served. Things really do change. read more

Their menu was splendid and our food was prepared to perfection. I notice some of the older reviews questioned service; but our experience last night left us with the feeling that the service was as great as the food. Our server was attentive but did not "hover"; perfect. We drove from New Braunfels and it was well worth the time. read more

My wife and I had a truly fantastic dinner. The spring rolls were delicious, as was the duck and the ginger creme brûlée. Wine and cocktails were also good. Lastly, our service was great. We simply don't have any complaints. Wish we would have found this place sooner. Give it a try. read more

I can't tell you the number of disappointing New Year's Eve dinners I have had over the years. Finally, at Frederick's last night we had an excellent dinner AND it was worth the money; I'm still full.The seafood sampler appetizer was amazing: oysters w/ cavier, smoked salmon, shrimp and half a lobster stuffed with lobster salad. I could have just had that and the goat cheese salad and it would have been plenty. The main course was another half lobster on pasta with lobster meat in it. Then ginger creme bruele(sp.) for dessert.All without feeling rushed so they could turn the table. read more

Ordered New York Strip (Med Rare). Lunch came with an order of fries. The steak was not a NYS. It was full of grissel and tendons and was hard cut and chew through. The brown sauce had no layers of flavor and tasted more like canned gravey poured on top to hide the inferior cut of meat.The fries were nothing more than frozen fries thrown in the fryer. WTH!!!!! We are in Texas people. I expect a great steak! Won't be going back. read more

Frederick's and his Bistro are by far the best in town. We love the romantic atmosphere and how special Frederick and his staff make us feel upon our arrival. Some of our favorites are: lobster bisque, calamari, lamb chops, osso bucco, duck breast, scallops, and every fish dish is prepared perfectly. His desserts are to die for. The wait staff are very professional and cordial. There are so many restaurants in San Antonio, you could eat at a different one every day of the year, but these two are the ones we prefer by far! read more
