White-linen spot for French-Asian fusion. Strip-mall eatery with window-lined walls, a broad menu of Asian-French fusion & large wine list.
My girlfriend turned me onto this place 3 yrs ago… I brought my brother and his wife last year, and now it’s our favorite❤️ The service- outstanding Always! I’ve come for lunch, brunch, dinner, drinks… it’s brilliant! The food-the food… you know when you leave a place and you’ve just finished eating and you get in your car and go home…. Well, I promise that from the first moment this food hits your taste buds until you finish- you will savor every morsel and revel in every bite- yep, ITS THAT GOOD! When you leave here you won’t be able to stop saying, “That food was soooo good!” It’s amazing that everything we order here is super! Last night we had the Brussels sprouts- you’ve had ‘em… but these are elevated!! The sauce is divine - kind of a Thai chili deal but better! Then there were the Oysters Casino- good gravy- my eyes rolled back in my head- lightly cooked and topped with bacon???????yes, bacon!! Every bite melted in my mouth! Then the calamari siting on a bed of noodles… the sauce !! The sauce!! Slightly tangy - not your run of the mill marinara - then the beautiful sautéed spinach with garlic - it’s what I remembered most about Florence and theirs brought me right back to the Altra Arno! Then the Trout! Lightly season and grilled so it had a lovely crust and moist and tender inside❤️❤️❤️so good! The Calamari & the sprouts and the spinach were large enough to share between 4 ppl! The bartender at the bar makes a mean dirty, dry martini! & she’s the one who suggested the Oysters Casino for which we will be forever grateful! My brother ordered the chops and they were gorgeous little pork pops! To keep saying the food was “good” is too little, the food is out of this world every time we come here! Come here with the intent of staying to enjoy and savor! And it’s not because the food comes out late it’s because you deserve to enjoy this experience because it’s not everyday you get food this good so when you do , slow down and take it in! We finished with the desert “trio” and it did not disappoint and again - 4 ppl shared it and it was perfect! Happy eating❤️

I’ve been dining here for years, and it is fantastic. Regardless of occasion, special event or just happy hour with cocktails and appetizers, everything is delicious, well presented, and impeccably served. Our most recent outing was Valentine’s Day dinner. Once again, Frederick’s did not disappoint!
Absolutely LOVE this establishment! Amazing food and great service! The staff is incredible; so welcoming and absolutely amazing! I was blown away by the attentiveness, especially during a time where service industry professionals are undervalued and unappreciated. 20% is the average recommended tip for any establish for today's day and age, will always give above and beyond to this brilliant team! Overall 100/100, would absolutely recommend for any occasion! From the food to the staff and the overall experience of the Fredrick's family, mind blown!
Always a great meal here. Wait staff tends to look busy but never busy with your table. We have to ask for water refills and they are very skimpy with providing bread and butter for the table. Prices have gone up since the last we were there a year ago. They had a mediocre wine selection. I wanted a glass of the Cakebread Chardonnay but I had to buy the bottle and it was only I drinking wine. Calamari appetizer is the best in town in my opinion. Large strips of lightly breaded calamari sits on a bed of asian style noodles with a sweet and sour sauce. All their desserts are wonderful also.
Enjoyed dinner at Frederick's as all the food was delicious (favorite dish was probably the calamari). Ambiance was ok/average, service was very attentive but not particularly friendly. Prices are a little high but not egregious. Would consider returning but lots of other great options in the San Antonio area.
Incredible French Asian fusion. The flavor of the food is amazing. It’s the same pork or fish you get anyplace else but the flavor explodes with every bite. Their chef is very talented. Fish is obviously his forte. The staff is very professional giving the place that fine dine feel. Great wine list with affordable options that are great finds. I took my boss and he brought down folks from corporate to try it. They all had empty plates and wine glasses with big smiles on their faces. Especially after the crème brûlée. No one serves a better grand marnier soufflé with crème anglaise.
Had the duck leg and brest confit and it was pretty delicious. By no means am I a French food expert, but it tasted great. The potatoes au gratin were tasty and the steamed vegetables were a nice balance to all the richness. The rolls were warm and fresh. It seemed expensive to me, but what do I know, I eat at fast food restaurants regularly. $34.
