    We visited Frederick's Bistro for the second time, this time to celebrate a friend's birthday; it was her request to revisit because it was so good last time; and once again, it exceeded our expectations. The food is consistently delicious, but the service is what truly sets this place apart. I brought a cake for my friend to take home, and the staff kindly offered to set it aside for us. To our surprise, they brought out a fireworks cake and sang to her; completely unexpected and incredibly thoughtful! We ended up sharing the cake with the staff and fellow diners, turning the evening into a spontaneous celebration. Blanca was there mixing up her signature margaritas (so good!), and our server Janet was an absolute gem; attentive, warm, and just wonderful. We had such a great time and can't wait to come back!

    We were looking for a good happy hour restaurant this past Friday and thought of @fredericks_bistro. Happy hour during the week ends at 7pm. Frederick himself seated us. Ryne was our server and a familiar face here. Everything we enjoyed was from their happy hour menu. 2 menu items that we tried for the first time were the Vietnamese Meatballs and Frog Legs. The sauce for the meatballs was very flavorful. The rest were our usual choices: Duck Liver Mousse, Wedge Salad, Vietnamese Dumplings, and Paris Pizza with ham, artichoke, and olives. We were full and just had the right amount of food. The pizza was the only leftover to take home. Quality happy hour with great food and service! Add it to your list if you haven't stopped by yet.

    Inside

    The restaurant is very nice inside and they serve a lot of regular customers. We were greeted and seated immediately by the friendly staff (I think the owner) as soon as we walked inside. Once we finally got our service started we ordered the spring rolls, chicken soup, Cesar salad, osso bucco, and crab cakes. They also offer bread service which was very tasty. The food was pretty good. The potatoes and osso, needed a bit of salt. The crab cake had a very good ratio of crab to filling. The Ceasar salad dressing was a little off but not worth sending it back. I heard they have good happy hour specials so maybe next time I will check that out.

    Came during the recent restaurant week and everything we had was absolutely amazing. One of the best meals I've had recently. This was my second time here and staff is super friendly, they make sure you've got what you need & are great for helping you choose what's best to get! I will say the only thing that kind of throws me off for an establishment like this is that they charger per person per piece of bread.... Don't get me wrong their bread and butter is delicious, but with so many other places not charging for something this simple it makes sad lol. The ambiance is very intimate and you can dress up a little or come in jeans & a nice top.

    I visited Frederick's Bistro during happy hour on a Friday. My boyfriend and I sat down at the bar and were immediately greeted by the bartender. The bar side of the restaurant was cozy and comfortable. She was so kind and helpful in explaining the menu and giving recommendations and was very attentive the whole afternoon. She said the place is always busy for happy hour, and a place frequented by locals and returnees. We decided to order the calamari, dumplings and the prosciutto pizza. Everything was excellent. The calamari was perfectly tender yet crispy served over Thai noodles providing a unique sweetness to the bite. The dumplings were fresh and light. And the prosciutto pizza was great with a nice thin crust and great flavor. Enjoy photos of our half eaten food because we were too eager to try it all! We will definitely be back for another happy hour to try other happy hour menu items!

The place is a good size with inside and outside seating. They have nice alcove booths that fit a good amount of people. We made reservations for first Sunday brunch. Currently they only offer brunch the first Sunday of the month. They have an extensive wine menu and do have wine based cocktails and mimosas. On Sundays they have happy hour all day. I had she zucchini fries. The serving was big enough to share. It came with a side of marinara. For my meal, I had the avocado toast with poached eggs. The avocado has just the right amount of lime. It came with a hash brown patty. The hashbrown patty was just ok. For dessert, we shared the pancakes. They were sooooo good. Definitely full of butter, but not complaints from us.

    BLUF: Delicious pies and a quiet place to sit…read more This awesome spot is located right across from Halcyon . It is in a shopping center of sorts in a commercial establishment here in San Antonio. I say this because it lets you know that there are two entrances and you'll be graded regardless , but you will be indicated where to sit if you go to the hostess front desk by the firewood first Customer service was outstanding and earned this place. It's fifth star. I was made to feel welcome and when the sun in the San Antonio skies was shining right in my face through a window because of the time of the afternoon, I knew I would have no luck studying, so I was moved without hesitation. I know that switching tables might be a little bar but believe me when I'm telling you that simply doing a job versus doing it with a smile, makes the world of a difference to me. The food was fantastic by the way , I'd be remiss if I didn't gush about the meatballs and the pizza. I have never tried spicy honey chicken before and I'm glad that I chose this spot to do it for the first time. Everything is literally made to order right then, and there and the absolute freshness of the ingredients shows from the first bite to the very last. There seemed to be other people studying there too as well as what looked like groups of 2 to 8 occupying various tables so this establishment lends itself to family or party friendly dinner reservations.

Our waitress was amazing, i feel terrible because i asked for her name and it completely slipped my mind. she had red lipstick on and black hair, she was an absolute GEM! i recommend.

The service is also consistently friendly and quick. We have tried almost every ramen at this point and the favorites are the vegetarian Flying V Harvest, the Tonkotsu blank or red, and the Tan Tan. All of the vegetarian ones are actually so good. The Jinya bun (bao buns with pork belly) are also a favorite. They had a seasonal peach whiskey cocktail and it's my favorite drink I've ever had. Please bring it back!!! I also got my parents hooked on Jinya. They like that there isn't overly loud background music. My dad's favorite is the spicy creamy V ramen with substitution of kale noodles. Mom gets the spicy chicken, it's a classic for a reason. If I get the spicy chicken I get it hot and wowww does it clear your sinuses. So good. The hot sauce provided on the table tends to upset my stomach if I use more than one little spoonful. So if you want your ramen spicy then ask them to make it that way instead of adding the hot sauce. I'm not sure what they do differently but it doesn't upset my stomach.
