Initially forced a set menu as our party was 6. Ordered wine ($80 bottle) and everyone went for pizza as the few other options were way too pricey. The waiter knew he had 20% tip as it's the rule with party of 6 so the service was poor. The waiter then wanted me to buy another bottle of wine, he did that by giving one of the guests 1/14 bottle pour to finish it. Then asked me straight after if I wanted another wine. The place is pretentious and condescending. The food was good, and there were no issues with that, just the staff. read more

This place was a lesson in reading the right menu. As it turns out, Vaudeville only has pizza at dinner. However, the recovery from not having that gave us a really good charcuterie board (if a bit expensive for how much there was). The French dips that Vaudeville is known for certainly speak to the quality of the place. The ingredients mix well, and each could stand on its own. I don't like horseradish, but this sandwich did it well with just enough to taste. I have the same feeling about the house chips, which I normally avoid. Service was reasonable, we never felt rushed, and drinks were refilled regularly. That's all I want, and that's what we got. While Vaudeville brands itself as a speakeasy, it's hard to call yourself that with a big sign on the front of the building whose basement you're in. Also, from being in a basement without sound damping, the place is loud despite looking like it should be the usual quiet atmosphere of upscale places. read more

It's almost impossible not to be curiously lured into Vaudeville with its enormous and shiny chandelier right by the entrance! This entire building is the epitome of classic and upscale /high end. From the beautiful outdoor building (architecture) to the inside (high end shop) and underground restaurant! I was mesmerized by that chandelier lol and browsed around but didn't feel any kind of friendly/inviting service! Definitely not somewhere I'd return, mostly due to the uninviting energy. Beautiful overall aesthetic though! I will give it a 10/10 for that... but sadly, that's about it. :/ Maybe next time we'll try the food and hopefully have a better experience!

Visited Vaudeville during my recent trip to Fredicksburg this past weekend. Vaudeville was THE dinning hot spot so I was lucky to get a last minute reservation. Upon arriving we waited about 15 minutes for our table but were greeted expeditiously by our server. Food wise the menu is not that big & nothing jumped out at me but we decided on two appetizers, we had the octopus & seafood app for starters. The octopus wasn't my favorite but I recommend the seafood appetizer. We ordered the chicken pesto & Mediterranean pizza for our mains as we were unsure we liked any other entrees on the menu & our server recommended their pizzas, they were okay. We noted on our reservation that we were celebrating a birthday but there was no mention from our server on special occasions whatsoever, not sure if the restaurant typically does anything for celebrations but it was somewhat disappointing that it wasn't even acknowledged. Overall the restaurant & ambiance was nice but overpriced & I wouldn't return for the food. read more

#1 spot everyday Its an incredible amazing downstairs favorite for locals and tourists. We come back every time. I know the menu without asking.

Came here for dinner with some girlfriends during our weekend trip to Fredericksburg, and it was hands down one of the best dinners I've had in a long time! Would recommend that you make a reservation as this place gets booked out, especially on weekends for dinner. The restaurant is located inside of a store that sells all sorts of unique (but high-end) items, including candles, jewelry, home decor, etc. Once you take a flight of stairs downstairs, you'll enter Vaudeville, which gives off a warm but industrial-like atmosphere. We were seated next to the 'deli' area and was promptly greeted by our waiter, who was friendly and attentive and answered any questions that we had. We ordered several apps/entrees and shared them family style so we can enjoy a bit of everything. -Lump crab coconut curry ($21 bowl) - This dish came with steamed Jasmine rice and was delicious! The coconut flavor wasn't too overpowering, and it also came with a generous amount of lump crab. Would definitely recommend if you're a fan of coconut curry. -Beef carpaccio ($21) - This came with six thin slices of Texas Akaushi beef, topped with olives, capers, and a micro salad. This was really good if you're a fan of carpaccio as the flavors were light but fragrant. -Seafood gratin ($25) - So flavorful, rich, and creamy! This came with jumbo lump crab, shrimp, and crawfish tails oven baked and topped with garlic chili bread crumbs and served with french bread. So decadent and good and perfect for sharing. -Charred pulpo ($24) - Chopped octopus with potatoes, peppers, olives, all tossed in a lemon parsley vinaigrette and served in a hot skillet. This dish was decent, but nothing spectacular. For $24, it was honestly a bit underwhelming and the flavors weren't as prominent as I was expecting. -Braised Akaushi Beef ($44) - A generous piece of the most tender beef that melts in your mouth on top of polenta, roasted carrots, and a micro salad. Wow, this dish was SO GOOD! The meat was perfectly seasoned and was so tender. The polenta and carrots were the perfect sides to complement this beautiful dish. Highly recommend! -Duck Confit ($37) - This was another winner! The meat basically fell off the bone and was cooked to perfection and comes with dijon potatoes and spring greens. This may very well be on my list of top 3 duck dishes I've tried, including the ones in Paris! Definitely put this on your list to order if you're a fan of duck. You won't be disappointed. -Pistachio tiramisu ($14) - We weren't really sure what to expect with the pistachio flavored tiramisu, but wow, we were blown away with how delicious this was! The tiramisu was light and airy, but had just the right amount of pistachio flavor. We were literally scraping the bowl clean cuz it's that good. Just do yourself a favor and make sure you order this! -Creme brulee ($12) - Another great dessert option that we were thoroughly impressed with. You can't go wrong with this! Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Everything we ordered was phenomenal and throughout our dinner, we couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. Service was impeccable and we were well taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend you make a reservation and get yourself a table at Vaudeville for a meal that you will never forget! read more

This is a hidden little gem in the basement of a shop right on main street! The shop itself is very beautiful and then you go down the stairs to find this space which feels a little speakeasy-ish. Everyone loved their food. My daughter and I shared the veggie sandwich with the add on of chicken. We paid the $5 to have the sandwich split and each get our own sides. The sandwich was absolutely delish!!! We also had to try the legendary cookies and they lived up to the claim! We got a smores cookie and salted caramel and the were indeed very delicious. The downside - diet coke served out of very little bottles and you pay $4 for each one which is just ridiculous. read more

We brought family here from out of the country for lunch--thoroughly enjoyed an appetizer that had crackers, focacia, and several different healthy dips to start and the sparkling lemonade was awesome. My wife and mother-in-law both had quiche, while my brother-in-law had some kind of health power food bowl and I coulfn't resist the pastrami on rye w saurkraut made from brussel sprouts--amazing adaptation by the way. Huge portions all-around, the atmosphere and vibe was really cool, and my wife made me promise to come back for supper someday soon. I really liked the jazz-feel music playing in this place. Service was outstanding. I really can't find fault with the place outside of suggesting smaller portions, but hey--this is Texas. We'll be back. read more

This place was one of the places I wanted to try while I was in town and luckily I walked by it after lunch. Sadly I had already ate at another restaurant (food at the other place was disappointing), so full I couldn't try their special of the day but I did get their dessert. I asked the server to help pair the pistachio tiramisu with a wine on their menu and it was the perfect match! The tiramisu was superb! I was too full to finish it so I saved the rest for my partner & he devoured it in seconds. The dessert was creamy and the pistachio flavor peaks through. I stopped by alone and was able to enjoy the busy noises and great jazz music they were playing, I loved the dim lights and everything about the decor. I highly recommend this place, their menu options are so unique compared to majority of the restaurants around here. I want to come back everyday while I'm here to try something different. read more

This place is super cute! They have a very eclectic store and the top floor is an art gallery. I had the French dip, it was delivered cold. By the time the server came back it wasn't worth sending it back I had finished half the sandwich. The service wasn't that great. The food is really big portions. Very cute aesthetically. read more

I've been dying to come to this spot for years, and well.. It didn't really live up to the hype. We ordered: - the mixed board (would 10000% recommend everything on this board, the pairings seemed very thought through) - braised Akaushi beef (was fine, safe, okay) - black truffle pizza (decadent, asparagus was just warm? Would have been better with a crispy green topping like charred broccolini or kale) - and wine ofc Service was on and off. Ambiance was lovely. read more

Where to begin? From the romantic staircase entry to the perfectly cozy tables, we were welcomed to the most BEAUTIFUL ambiance! Service was UNBELIEVABLE - Dillon brought the wine recs of dreams, Jordan took good care of us from start to end (even brought a glass of milk for our s'mores cookie dessert), the owner Richard made sure everyone was so happy! Lastly, the food was SCRUMPTIOUS. We started with beef carpaccio & burrata - dang! Lots of pizzas were shared among the table along with the braised beef. Seriously so freaking good. Ended the night with a s'mores cookie to share and it was just perfect I'll go back to vaudeville again and again! read more

Just last weekend 6 of us arrived in Fredericksburg for a girl's weekend. I did my due diligence and research, I am a Travel Advisor, and saw that Vaudeville would be a great place for dinner. I went on Resy to book about 3 weeks before and was placed on a waitlist. Luckily, the day before I got a notice that they could take us at 730pm for dinner. You enter at street level into a beautiful boutique and take the stairs down to the restaurant which is very classic, relaxed, chic, vintage charm. The ambiance was great, the service was great, and the dinner was great! I took a few pictures, but unfortunately those not so great I had the Charred Pulpo (octopus) appetizer - so good! Perfectly cooked! I had the Braised Akashi Beef entreé over polenta - hello lover! It was so YUMMY! A couple of ladies had the Grilled Rack of Lamb and ranked it in top 3 of grilled lamb that they have had. I highly recommend Vaudeville when in Fredericksburg and I will definitely dine there again on my next visit! Apologies for the poor picture quality. read more

I travel to Fredericksburg regularly and this place has always been recommended. Talk about a hidden gem! Walking down the stairs into the dining room...makes you forget that you live in Texas. You might as well be entering a fine dining restaurant in LA, New York, Chicago or Boston (I used to leave in Boston and this place and vibe would be right at home there). It has that elevated feel and I was loving every minute of it. I dressed to go have Sunday brunch...and so did everyone else. The staff were caring and attentive and the food was absolutely phenomenal. It's probably the best fried chicken I've ever had and that's saying something for a proper southern boy. There is NO doubt I will make time to eat here EVERY time I'm in "Fred". read more

The food was good but do not recommend for a large group as they did not inform us of the prix fixe menu til we got there. I made the reservation request through the website as it stated for 6 or more to do so. When I made the request I had to click a few boxes saying we'd be charge for late or cancelation per person, terms of service, etc. I got a call from the manager to confirm the reservation time, we went back and forth a few calls got it squared away and I was sent a confirmation on resy. To this point no prix fixe menu was mentioned or written anywhere. We arrived to the restaurant on time with our group and lo and behold prix fixe menu. I ask the manager about it she says she was the one I spoke to on the phone and she said it was a box we check when we confirm on the website. I showed her on my phone the box wasn't there and let her know I made the reservation on a computer and it wasn't there in that format either. I asked if she would honor the regular menu since we had people with dietary restrictions that made it difficult to order off the prix fixe menu and she said no because on her side it shows the box is there so we were informed. Despite me showing her on the customer interface it says nothing. So my vegetarian friend spent $65 on vegetable and a truffle pizza. $65 prix fixe menu is a rip off most of the app and main combinations are cheaper if you ordered them off the regular menu and the prix fixe came with smaller app portions then the regular menu. I was floored at the lack of hospitality by the manager. The only place I see the prix fixe stated is on the normal resy page which you can't book a group of this size on or on the prix fixe menu listed on the website which you would never look at unless you knew you had to order off it. My group was severely disappointed as we didn't get the meals we had wanted to order as they weren't on the special menu. Many of us didn't drink cause we weren't planning to spend $65 on a pizza. Do not recommend this place read more

Customer service is awful. Had a reservation that we showed up on time for and notice a table available as we walked in and figured it was ours. We were told we had to wait for a table to be cleared and it would be a few minutes. After a 10 minute wait we asked about the vacant table and we were told they were holding it for someone that had not arrived yet even though they have a no holding tables policy! We asked to speak to the manager and they said it was a special request and she would go check on another table. She came back acting like she had moved heaven and earth to seat us 15 minutes late only to take us to the original empty table! Rude and incompetent best describes the his situation. read more
