   Shrimp and fish entrees were excellent. A number of large groups kept noise level higher than previous visits.

   I have been to Freda's on a number of occasions. Once I went there for a company Xmas party, and I wasn't overly impressed with the food. Needless to say, I didn't return to the venue for years, not until after the Pandemic. When I did return (shortly after the Pandemic), the restaurant was empty, the food excellent, the price expensive (at least for my budget). Still, because the food was so good, I returned again. This time the food was again expensive but excellent. Yesterday was my fifth time to return to Freda's. I'm a bit of a Johnny One Note so I ordered the exact same thing and the food was poor, still pricey, and the ambience was loud (I did sit in the bar area - and it was Happy Hour). Will I go there again? No. The only reason I was willing to pay for my over priced meal in the past was because the food was good (at least most of the time). I've now had two poor meals, and believe the restaurant cuts corners at catering events and during Happy Hours (when people may order food, but are really at the restaurant just to drink). Regardless, if I'm going to pay top dollar, the food, no matter the occasion, should be consistently good and it's not been.

   Hello Chery, first thank you for all these years of support and we really appreciate it. Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with Freda’s. I apologize that your recent visits did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback about the quality of food during Happy Hour( were you here on 17th, ordering fish tacos and entrée Caesar salad?) I looked the receipt and noticed that we made a mistake not applying the happy hour price to the food. Would you please contact us email or call? We would like to correct this error. Also I do apologize for the loudness at the bar area, especially with the live music.

   Loved the Salmon Florentine. Also liked the house salad. The portions were adequate but not too much. We went at 1:00 pm and there were very few people in the restaurant. The service was excellent: efficient and pleasant but not pressuring to finish. It was obvious that Freda's emphasis was on quality rather than quantity.

    I had orange roughy with a crab sauce that was recommended by our waiter. It was delicious! My husband had the scallops. Also very good. Exceptional service!
