Diner Reviews
  • "Everything great except noise level. Music too loud resulting in everyone having to talk even louder."
    Dined on 3/6/2014
  • "Overall it was a very pleasant dinning experience. The matri'd gave us a great table on both occasions that I've been here. Food overall is exellent if you go for the French style dishes. If you try something italian like the pizza (good sauce too thin crust), or pasta, then they need some training. The pasta with the mushrooms - mushrooms too dry and chewy. Pasta with olive oil and garlic, not enough garlic or olive oil. Steak was cook to order. Calamari was over cooked. What was done well were the salads and appetizers. The tuna tartar w/ avacado was great as was the apple and pear salad."

  • "I have been to bar frites several times . . . The menu is varied, the portions a good size and prices reasonable. Nice bistro ambiance. Would recommend for any variety of events, even a simple lunch with a friend."

  • "We went for Brunch and it was very crowded. They stuck as at a table ( 2 diners) between a large party that was split in two. At one table were 4 couples, at the other ( you guessed it) 7 KIDS! Each of these kids( none over 10 years old) got up multiple times and ran around! Both tables kept yelling over our heads! The only saving grace is that we were rushed BIG TIIME! Our reservation was for 12:30 and we expected to have a leisurely brunch, but by 1:00 we had the check! They cleared the plates so fast, I couldn't even get a coffee refill! The food was good but we could've gone to our local diner and it would've been quieter, we could've sat longer and saved $50 in the process! If you want a quiet leisurely brunch go somewhere else!"

  • "My family and I celebrated my fiance's birthday at Bar Frites, and we all had SUCH a great time! Not only was the service wonderful, but the food was absolutely delicious! I had the halibut, and am still thinking about it days after. They played great music, and were so kind to bring us dessert and sing for my fiance's birthday. I would definitely recommend Bar Frites to anyone who wants great French food, and a wonderful experience!"

  • "First time at Bar Frites. We started off with the mussels in the coconut thia broth, very tasty. This was served with fries, also very tasty. I then had the beef sliders this also came with fries. Nicely presented and very tasty."

  • "I have been here several times. The food is reliable and good quality. Although one time we had a cheese plate served cold. The noise level is unexpectedly loud"

  • "We had a very good night...delicious food and fun place to meet friends. Waiter was very accommodating and came back with the correct food. First time French dip was not rare enough. Second one was delicious! Everyone loved their food."

  • "This is our 4th time here and it never disappoints. We have had both lunch & brunch and the food has been exceptional. Great service w/attentive waiters. Definitely returning!"
    Dined on 1/19/2014
  • "Great evening with a friend. We opted out of a table to sit at the bar and dine. Fantastic gimlets and cosmos. Delicious tomato soup special. Great grilled octopus. Salads were chilled. Good vibes at the bar. It was not a problem for the host to let us sit st the bar & not a table despite our reservation. Great hospitality and service."
    Dined on 1/15/2014
  • "Yet again, a wonderful meal & all around great experience. Service never waivers. Polite, attentive crew. Great salads and drinks a full measure and chilled to perfection. Personally, I think Bar Frites has the best bar and bar tenders. For a lunch crowd it was a happy, vibrant atmosphere. Thank you."

  • "Sat immediately for a great lunch on a miserable weather day. Started out quietly and then the vibe grew steadily to resemble the Bar Frite we enjoy. Lively, light, delicious, great service from door to check. Salmon sliders a must! Beet salad generous portion not over dressed and very tasty. Margherita pizza was just as ordered, very light on the cheese and x-tra crispy. The best surprise is how great their table bread is. They don't skimp! Water glases refilled often by attentive, polite and well trained bussers. These are some reasons why we're regulars and make this our "go to" place."

    Dined on 1/5/2014
  • "The dishes we ordered were all terrific. The unusual spices and compbinations made for a great dinner. Just because it's family style, if you have any sort of appetite be sure to order at least 1 dish per person. If you don't get a chance to have a drink at the bar, be certain to ask the waiter for a small bowl of the bar nuts."

  • "After several visits over the past year, I find Bar Frites a consistently very good bistro that has a huge following to prove it; BEST French fries!!!! Really good creme brulee!!! Everything francais you have always wanted and prepared to a higher standard!"

  • "We dined here recently and were impressed and will definitely return. The menu is wonderful with many great selections amd it was difficult to choose. From drinks to appetizers to dessert there were no disappointments! The sevice is quite good and the waiter timed his visits to our table perfectly, I had the braised short rib and the food portions are generous and were absolutely delicious. The ambience is very french bistro and is warm and welcoming. If there is anything to complain about; it is that reservations on the weekend are hard to come by unless you book at least a month in advance. We dined very early to get in and when we left it was not full so I am not sure why you cannot get a time after 5 pm or before 9. Will return!!"

  • "Greeted cheerfully and sat immediately. Busy night. I had 2 great cosmos. My partner had 2 martinis they make the best drinks. Chicken pillard was perfect as was the tuna salad. Didn't feel rushed even though they were full out busy and on a long wait. This is my go to restaurant when ever I want a guaranteed good meal & cocktail."
    Dined on 11/1/2013
  • "Ive been to this restaurant many times. The food and service are always awesome. The only thing negative I can say is, the tables are very close together, so when it is busy you get bumped into a lot. But I prefer that over a restaurant that's empty and quiet."

  • "Had the filet mignon sliders and the pear and apple salad, very good. Cliff was very attentive and made us feel like regulars as soon as we sat down. I will be back soon :-)"

  • "Beautiful weather, comfortable outdoor seating, yummy food, attentive service and pretty space. A perfect lunch . Food was prepared as ordered with high quality ingredients. Never felt rushed which allowed us to relax and enjoy our conversation along with our meal."
    Dined on 10/17/2013
  • "Excellent as always. We tried the mussels with lemon and pernod for the first time as an appetizer, and used every bit of bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Bar Frites never fails to surprise us."

  • "Just as good as last night. Cosmo was perfecto! Ocy cold! Great service, greeted and sat immediately."
    Dined on 9/27/2013
  • "Love this place. Was here 2 nights in a row this week. Salad Nicoux was prepared petfectly as was the chicken piyard (sorry for the spelling). Best bar around. Blood orange martini is sic, in the best use of the word. Attentive servers refilled water all night. Alway noisy. Hate sitting next to tables w/ children. Great outdoor space. U need reservations! I return as often as I can. Fairly priced for the experience, neighborhood & clientèle."
    Dined on 9/26/2013
  • "This is a pretty good place for Sunday Brunch. But somehow they can't seem to get the orders quite right. We've been there several times and inevitably we have to send the food back because there was a mistake. It's good when it comes, but we'll have to think twice about going back."
    Dined on 8/25/2013
  • "Although the reservation was honored in a timely fashion at Bar Frittes, the quality of service was awful. I asked for olive oil when the waiter took our drink orders and it arrived (after 4 requests) 10 minutes after our entrees arrived. A request for a second glass of wine was never honored. The check was also very long in coming. Not going back any time soon."
    Dined on 9/20/2013
  • "although my son loves it, I was not too impressed. maybe its just a young persons cup of tea. We were a party of five including two younger and three senior persons. We were seated directly under a blaring loud speaker in the front of the restaurant and I had to ask to have my seat moved. It was early in the evening and they chose to seat us directly in the front near the bar area even though I had reservations. The menu was limited and just ok."
    Dined on 8/19/2013
  • "The Beef Carpaccio is excellent. My only complaint is we ordered the sliced filet minion and it came out well done . we ordered it med/rare. The waiter took care of it immediately and offered a shrimp cocktail or salad. We were not happy about the filet but the Frisse salad kept us calm while waiting for the filet which came out in 5 min. The Poll brothers know how to run resturants!"
    Dined on 9/12/2013
  • "Always enjoy it here, including the service. Only disappointment - the mussels were very, very small . I remember them as being much larger & better a while back."
    Dined on 9/10/2013
  • "I have been here many times and will not be returning. Entree salads have shrunk to house salad size. Waiter was rude. Left hungry after what used to be a lovely brunch."
