- CSCarly Singer4 days ago5.0Jack’s Wife Freda is truly one of the few restaurants that is consistently good when it comes not only to food but to service. The servers are always so friendly and helpful. The food is always good. You can get the same thing every time and it will always taste the same. This restaurant is truly a gem.
- SHSarah HeinemannJan 2, 20265.0Met a friend here for dinner on a freezing cold night; the restaurant was cozy, food was delicious, especially the schnitzel. We had a great time!
- JJJai JungDec 29, 20255.0The chicken schnitzel was great, even better with the house made marinara sauce. Tatiana was observant and attentive throughout the dinner. Highly recommend if a meaning dining experience is the goal.
- CCClaireDec 20, 20251.0Food was horrendous. Got a tofu with squash spaghetti. 1 piece of tofu with a strange chemical taste I couldn’t place. Aperol spritz with a tiny bit of Aperol and flat prosecco. Worst thing is they came twice to pick up my plate while I was still eating. They took my friends plate while he was still eating and they had to ask for it back. Table manners should be the minimum expected from the servers. They literally just reach across the other people who are eating to take your plate while your knife and fork are each side of the plate signifying you are still eating.
