Frederic

I was left with mixed feelings about Frédéric.

The service was good and attentive. That said, we were brought the wrong order and, when the server sensed our confusion, he enquired with the kitchen, and then grabbed all the place and took them to the correct table — there was no apology, or anything, which was kind of odd.

The atmosphere is nice. We were there for lunch and the place was filled with beautiful natural light.

The washrooms were also nice and very clean.

We decided to go for the Express Lunch Menu — Entree and Main for $49 (+ glass of wine $59).

I opted for the Swordfish Ceviche. I found the nashi pear overpowering and the taste of the fish wasn’t coming through at all. The seaweed crisp was nice and crunchy.

For a main, I chose the Porterhouse, which was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The whole grain mustard complemented it very nicely.

My companion enjoyed the Beef Tartare, whoever, we were very (unpleasantly) surprised by the size of the Barramundi, considering it was a main dish — I don’t even think it was 100g. That said, it was cooked nicely.

I also had a glass of rosé, which was very pleasant.

Overall, I liked it enough to give it another go.

They have a happy hour Monday-Friday 4-6 pm, which offers $3 Oysters, $15 Louis Roederer, $7 House Lager, $12 Spritz, and $10 Wine. I’d be keen on going to that and, maybe, staying for dinner.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced and the service was top notch! The staff were very friendly (and humorous) and met all our needs. The atmosphere was quite nice and overall I had an excellent experience.
