Frederick's Restaurant

Frederick's is a San Antonio Gem. In Alamo Heights, not downtown, plenty of on site parking. Pleasant atmosphere, attentive service. After starting with Oysters on the half shell, seven large, lovely oysters, light dipping sauces that allowed the delicate oyster flavor to come through, I had the Osso Buco special, not bone-in, but very savory and delicious. My wife began with scallops topped with caviar over blanched spinach in a light butter sauce, then beef filet with an excellent Bearnaise sauce, both very good. The apple tort with green tea ice cream we had for dessert was different and quite tasty, too. The wine list is fine, but might be a bit more expansive. Everything was prepared exactly as ordered and beautifully presented.

We've eaten at good sit-down restaurants all over and found Frederlck's an excellent dining experience. These folks know how to do it.…

Not that great. Just average. Had escargot, spring roll and oyster appetizers, nothing was mouth watering, no unique or complex flavors. Roquefort salad dressing was bland-- how do you manage that? Main course snapper baked with truffles, just tasted like heavy cream poured over fish. Wasn't bad food, but very very bland. Service was good. Won't go back, prefer other french restaurants in town...gave it a try because of good reviews, and it wasn't that great.…

Oui, Oui. We dined for lunch on a Fri afternoon, we started w/the smoked duck salad, one of the best I've tasted, lightly smoked duck, slices of green apple-delicious. I had the seafood curry-included shrimp, squid & scallops w/rice & veggies-very satisfying. My date had the steak frite-I believe it was a hanger cut or london broil, either way it was a little over cooked & just ddn't have enough "beefy" flavor but overall alright. The fries were good 'n crisp though. The service was excellent & accommodating. Other diners seemed to having an equally good food & service as well. Even the French clients at the next table! I'm ready to go back!…
