About this restaurant

Fricassée is a French-style bistro that serves classic French cuisine in simple but elegant surrounds. Chef Mark Papera brings his wealth of experience to bear on an eclectic menu that features tasty hors d'oeuvre, frites and classic entrées such as foie de veau, a delicious serving of grilled calf liver, apple, spinach and onion with a touch of sherry vinegar over a bed of demi-glace. Fricassée’s relaxed ambiance and creative menu make it an ideal choice for a quiet dinner. It is also a nice pick for special occasions or a romantic meal. Fricassée is open for dinner all through the week and for brunch Fridays to Sundays.

The food was very good -- but not the service. 8:00pm reservation for 4 people. The table they wanted to seat is at was smack in the middle of serving traffic and near the kitchen. We had to wait an additional 20 minutes for a suitable table. Tight waiting area-in a single file against the front wall of the entrance. Friendly wait person. Two appetizers came and two appetizers did not. We had to wait another 5 minutes. The server (runner) was clueless as to who got what -- amateur. This also happened with the entrees---entrees placed on the table incorrectly. I know this is a local restaurant and that it was Saturday evening and busy, but please train your waitstaff!

The food was good the surroundings could use some work. Noisy seating next to slamming door of next door bar. Dimly lit with many people resorting to cell phone flashlights to read the menu. Good food (hangar steak with frites, beef bourgonounge) which saved an otherwise shaky evening. Difficult to find a place to park as well. Too many other worthy establishments to try so may be back but it will be awhile.

I have high standards for my dining experience, Fricassee met all of it and exceeded. Service was as fantastic as the meal. Keith, the manager, is gifted. I can't wait to go back again! (BYOB)

Fricassee is a reliably very good French bistro that offers good value for wine collectors/lovers who love BYOB. The food and ambiance are very good. The space can get loud, but so can any good bistro in Paris!

The atmosphere was bustling on a Wednesday night and the waiter was very pleasant. The snails in a pastry shell were delicious as was the French onion soup. The hanger steak was tasty and tender. The frites were a disappointment. In Paris I was used to a thin cut potato. These were regular fries you would get with any burger and not done crispy. My husband liked the fish in tomato/ saffron sauce but felt it was just ok not great. The menu could use a few more items. Very limited.

Great local bistro worth taking the drive to. Menu is a well edited, classic bistro menu where the chef gets to keep his attention focused. It shows. The colossal order of mussels, garlicky with wine and butter, is way too much for one person. Perfect for two or four to share as an appetizer. Crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside bread served on the table is perfect alone or used to sop up the broth from the mussels - you will want to get every last bit! The lobster bisque my husband had was almost as thick as a chowder with strong lobster flavor and chunks of meat. After sharing mussels I shared the tuna nicoise entre salad. A perfect salad with seared tuna, rare inside, sweet and meaty, the veggies fresh / bright to perfection

Even after a lackluster performance before the weekend, I returned with another group, a second time, AFTER the weekend because the second group wanted to give it a try. Besides a noise level which is off the charts, both times my meal came out lukewarm. The chicken with macaroni was overdone and tough and the hangar steak the second night looked like it had been thrown on my plate. When I sent it back, it came back even colder. The lemon tart we had for dessert was doughy instead of crisp. Tasted like it had been in the fridge for hours before serving it. I won't be back.

This is a small restaurant, and everyone on staff cares about the food and cares about your entire dining experience. Everything was impeccably prepared, and Keith, our server that evening, was so passionate and expressive about the food and very attentive without being intrusive, that he just made the entire thing a very special dining experience. And the food was spectacular!!!! I look forward to going there again soon.
