    Our food was outstanding, service was super, and the atmosphere is wonderful! They had a fish fry special and it was amazing... the batter was so crisp, the fries were perfect, fresh coleslaw, house made tartar, but the surprise was the rye- it's a house-made rye with a savory butter... wow! My date had the ribeye, was so flavorful with great sides (fondant potatoes- yum!) We finished with a creme brûlée, and it was perfect. Our server was awesome and attentive as well. Thank you for a great night!

    We were able to beat the rush after our show at the PAC but it definitely picked up shortly after arriving around 5:30p. We ordered the Osyter Mushrooms, Carrot Salad, Ocean Trout and Gnocchi. All were delicious! As a couple that always shares, we embraced the kitchens style of bringing out our dishes as they were ready and not when both of our choices were ready. We hope to be back to grab a drinks and a couple other delicious sounding options we were eyeing up on the menu!

    Got here at 7 with my boyfriend. We were traveling from Chicago and did not have crazy expectations... but we were incredible surprised at how incredible Fress was. From the decor to the staff to the food. Everything was 10/10. The portions were big and moderately priced. Delicious delicious delicious. Perfect cooked short ribs, incredible appetizers. This place is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to food wise. It’s enough to make the 3 hour trip back just to go again. MUST GO!

    Tried a bit of everything on the tapas menu. Kimchi, pickled egg, charcuterie, pasta. The gnocchis are awesome. Great wine list!
