    Peach crème brulee
    La Denna R.

    Hey Fellow Yelpers. This is such a great restaurant with amazing service. The servers are friendly and thoughtful with helping you make a selection. They know they have regulars and really take care of everyone. The happy hour is a good one. So if you're not willing to spend the price of their regular entrees stop in for Happy Hour.

    Thanksgiving Dinner
    Troy L.

    We had a bit of a last minute change of Thanksgiving plans and were able to sneak in a reservation for Thanksgiving day at Fredericks. The setting is very elegant and cozy, and we were seated very quickly. Half our group got the Thanksgiving dinner, and there were a few other dishes ordered (salmon and halibut). The Thanksgiving dinners were good, we were all impressed with the sides especially being good. The halibut was the stand out entree of the table. For dessert, we had a few different things ordered (creme brulee, tiramisu, cherry ice cream, and a chocolate mousse). The desserts overall were very good but the creme brulee was not quite what we expected. It was served cold and lacked the crunch that you really want on the top. Service wise the waitstaff was very friendly and helpful but there was some mistakes on the food that was ordered and just seemed like they may be having an off day communication wise. Overall, the food was very good, service was friendly, and we had a lovely time with the family!

    When you walk in you know you are going to have a great dining experience. The rolls arrive piping fresh and delicious!! We weren't approached by a server right away but I thought that was great so we could catch up with our friends. The Old Fashioned was good. I had the Frederick's Salad which was nice but the Champagne Vinaigrette was the star!!! I think it may be one of the best dressings I have had. My husband had the onion soup which he wasn't too impressed with. He orders it without the cheese so it may be quite superb with it. I ordered the Shrimp and Scallops over Mushroom Risotto which was very good. My husband had the Lamb Chops and I got to taste them. They were perfectly prepared. So Yummy!! Before we arrived, I had scanned the menu and saw the Rum Euphoria and knew I was going to order it. I was so looking forward to it because I cannot remember a dessert that really caught my attention like this one did. Unfortunately, they were out of it!!! Boo hoo! Well, I guess it gives me another reason to go back. But I think I would make sure they have them before I go.

    Visiting again now that they are part of the San Antonio Gold Club. The food and service are always on point. Definitely a long-term classy staple of the San Antonio restaurant scene. Brett was our server this evening and did a fantastic job. He, as well as the manager, were not familiar with the Gold Club discount app, and thanked us for educating them. We got a free Caesar Salad on the app, which was so crisp and fresh. Bread service consisted of these little rolls so hot from the oven, crusty and soft inside. And they didn't just bring you a couple and let them get cold. They came back after we finished the first ones and offered us some more hot pillows of deliciousness. We ordered the Flash Fried Brussels Sprouts with a Thai chili sauce, which were delicious. The sauce was a little sweet, which balanced with the heat of the peppers. My wife ordered French Onion Soup and French Escargot with Spanish Chorizo as her entrees. Not what I order, but she said both were delicious. I ordered the wild caught Dover Sole which was lightly floured and sautéed with a lemon butter sauce and a variety of sides. Or should I say a lot of sides; roasted cauliflower, potato au gratin, asparagus, mushrooms, and sautéed spinach. Each one perfectly cooked. Team service is what I am accustomed to and they definitely practice this concept. As soon as we were done with a plate someone whisked it away. For the most part the crowd is a little older, though we saw one family with middle school aged kids. It's good to see parents giving their children experience in fine dining and they were dressed appropriately.

    Cod with Parmesan and avocado slices. Delicious.

    I loved every dish. Can't tell if it's because I'm Vietnamese and this was the perfect blend of Eurasian food but everything was perfectly flavored. They use a lot of cilantro in their dishes (bc it's a very Vietnamese thing to do) so if you dislike cilantro might want to mention that. They also have traditional American dishes like candied brussel sprouts. I wasn't a huge fan but nothing against the chef it's just my person taste. Anyone who loves Brussel sprouts would love their version. The ice burg lettuce was a hit. The friend that got the halibut cleaned his dish. It's tucked away in a corner so a bit hard to find but worth it.

    Charred Octopus
    John K.

    Truly and interesting menu, great service, and bursting with flavor. First, the menu seems to be different from time to time (seasonal?) but this fine dining establishment has Pho as an appetizer right below French Onion soup and next to crab cakes. We started off with charred octopus with quinoa and some special sauce. It wasn't too big nor too small of a portion size but it was worth my $16 to give it a try. It was pleasant of an experience in my mouth. Then we had the Frederick salad....something about the dressing was super well balanced vinegarette, very very impressive. I expected just another garden salad but this was so much more with fresh ingredients. The seafood paella...not your mom's paella, more like a medley or a sampler of all their seafood options in one dish, each perfectly cooked, and with some cous cous in the center. Misnomer? Either way, it was one of the cheaper ones on the menu and it probably may be the best in the restaurant. Well worth a try. Plus, I'm from Alaska, so I tried many salmon dishes....this restaurant did it justice. Kept it very very juicy and yet created a crispy crust...without the skin, they must have a special grill in the back. It was like a creme brûlée of salmon....YUM! My half duck was super tender and tasted like what I expected but they had pickled greens that came out as a side with it that tasted like a cross between kimchi and sauerkraut. That was epic. Ginger creme brûlée?! Never tried it, always just creme brûlée but this le trio...have us a sample of three different desserts. Ginger creme brûlée was unique, bursting with flavor, and sooooo good. The other two brought my wife memories from Germany. It was a fantastic experience...we will return very soon!! Make reservations!!! We at least got to sit at the bar.

    Frederick's is hyped as a fine dining restaurant featuring French-Asian fusion (Vietnamese specifically), located around the backside of a building off of Broadway. The menu is intriguing, and we shared a majority of the menu dining here recently as a family. APPS: Tried the calamari, the sticky short ribs, and the grilled octopus. Presentation for all was, in a word, interesting, with the breaded mollusc rings served in a bead of noodles (carbs on carbs) and the grilled version served chopped in a medley of tomatoes and onions that was tasty but not particularly photogenic. The ribs were shareable and quite well flavored, would recommend this dish over the others. ENTREES: Several options for seafood lovers, with filleted fish in various preparations crusted or crispy, grilled or poached. The red snapper in particular was well-prepared with a Beurre-blanc and mustard sauce that didn't overwhelm. The NZ rack of lamb was just okay, overcooked from the requested medium-rare and served with a red wine garlic sauce that didn't really complement the protein. DESSERTS: Despite a table full of dessert lovers, we were so full that we only ordered one. For a small restaurant, they feature an impressive 10 options, and we agreed on the Chocolate Pecan Cake, which cites Emeril Lagasse's recipe. Prettily plated but this is obviously premade who knows how far in advance and either misnamed or poorly stored, as texture and density are comparable to a fudge not a cake. Pecan presence was disappointingly minimal and this single slice went unfinished at a table of five. Dishes were hit or miss but the experience was perplexing. High-end setting with private booths and white table clothes and stellar service, but they offer a groupon and happy hour specials and had a couple literally making out at a table behind us. Something was just distinctly off about every area of our experience. Rounding up an "A-OK" experience and open to a return visit, SA needs more places trying new things- this spot just needs to fine-tune them.

    Lobster fest
    Linds G.

    I've been to the pizza place next to Fredrick's so many times throughout the years, but I had never been into Fredrick's. The entrance is so unassuming you would never know how much deliciousness was inside. The temporary lobster fest banner is what drew us in after going to Florios Pizza, only to find it was closed for a week vacation. Upon entry the restaurant gives a cozy vintage vibe with dim lighting and kind of lounge feels. Everything on their menu sounds delicious. We ordered lobster, calamari, escargot with chorizo, and a beet salad. It was all amazing! I'm sad I just found out about this place. I will definitely be back!

The Pear gorgonzola salad was amazing ... pears soaked in red wine paired with room temp gorgonzola, green and a light vinaigrette. The escargot brought yums. I had the braised short ribs. Super tender .. fall apart. I would have liked a little more veggies and a heartier sauce. The streak and fries was cooked and seasoned perfectly. For dessert, the creme brulee was glass on top and pure custard underneath ... perfect consistency. The mousse was a deep chocolate flavor with a tasty almond cookie. So many items I want to go back and try. Definitely recommend!!!

The slices were perfectly thick, and the sauce + garnish complemented the fish so well. For entrees, I got the brown butter saffron risotto with scallops, and my husband got the smash burger. The flavors were insane, and my scallop was cooked to perfection. I will say both entrees were a little heavy on the salt, but I'm also pretty sensitive to it. My husband thought they were seasoned perfectly, so take that with a grain of salt. And the Clementine Crunch Bar?! Out of this world. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. Our server, Jason, was also so helpful and attentive, going over the menu with us and sharing his recommendations. I loved the open kitchen concept, and the whole experience was great. I would literally come back to San Antonio to try their "feed me" menu -- essentially a family-style omakase. They got 3/3 courses down, so I trust them!

    Delicious Steak, But Not for Everyone…read more I went to Clementine with high hopes, and while the steak itself was absolutely delicious, I was surprised that it didn't come with any sides. As a picky eater, I kept wondering, what would be wrong with offering something simple like fries or mashed potatoes? We also tried the hush puppies as an appetizer, and they were definitely different from the traditional hush puppies you might be used to. The flavors were unique and unexpected. Overall, Clementine has a very unique menu and style of food. If you consider yourself a food explorer and enjoy trying creative dishes and new flavors, this could definitely be your type of restaurant. If you're a picky eater like me, though, you might want to skip it. The steak was great, the service was good, and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. It is a little small inside, and reservations are required, so plan ahead. For me, the biggest surprise was that this was probably the first time I've ever had a prime steak at a restaurant without any sides.
