Words can't describe how much I love and now how much my family loves Friedman's. We are addicted to all of the apps and their specialty cocktails!!! The food and staff are always so amazing that we drive in from Long Island when we get the craving...which shamelessly, is pretty often.

What an incredible find! We shared the collection of dips as our table appetizer—smaller version—and still had ample leftovers. Each meal was artistically crafted for visual display, so made for Insta-worthy snapshots. More importantly, every item was a gastronomical delight! The staff was attentive, kind, and clearly focused on making our experience exceptional. We’ll be back!
