BEST RESTAURANT EVER!
This was a truly remarkable experience and I must begin by thanking the Hostess, Annie, for providing us with an amazing table with a spectacular view, our waiter "Roger" for his outstanding attentive but non-intrusive service, and Danny, the wait staff manager, for coordinating a 35th Wedding Anniversary dinner that exceeded my expectations and hopes to duplicate our 25th that we spent at Fred's.
Danny was able to recreate our cocktail experience from 2014 which set the tone for the evening: Fred's Mojito for my wife, and the Mojito Morajito for me. Both were made with fresh fruit & mint leaves, and premium liquor, as you would expect -Mango in one, and Blackberries in the other. Fred's two signature cocktails, which I highly recommend.
Complimentary warm freshly baked sweet bread was then provided with a unique in-house butter that was not over filling. By the way, actually use the butter as it is well worth the work you'll have to put in to burn those extra calories!
We both enjoyed Caribbean Lobster Bisque that was served in a huge bowl, with a generous portion of lobster meat medallions. This was absolutely amazing soup, and mirrored the 2014 offering by challenging us to have room for our entrées.
We devoured, most of our magnificent generously proportioned entrées. She again had the grilled 14 oz. Caribbean Lobster Tail that was smothered in a delicious Adobo chili sauce. This was a perfectly prepared lobster; it was not at all rubbery as happens when lobster when it is overcooked, and this sauce was exceptionally well seasoned. I recreated my 2014 experience by having the rich and flavorful "THERMIDOR SUPREME" - 28 oz Lobster Thermidor - a Butter, mushrooms, Béchamel sauce topped with mozzarella flamed with brandy! GREAT DECISION! This dish was better than I recalled and truly spectacular! Again, perfectly prepared Lobster that was as decadent as I had recalled it being.
This time we intentionally saved a little room for coffee/Cappuccino and their decadent desserts! We shared a Tiramisu "unveiled" table-side. OMG! What an incredible dessert! I have eaten Tiramisu in some of the best restaurants in the States and even in Italy, but none compares to this offering; You MUST try this version of Tiramisu! Though completely full, Danny and Roger surprised us with a complimentary vanilla cake served with its very own pyrotechnic fireworks display (LOL) for our anniversary along with two glasses of excellent rose brut champagne--nice touch that was very much appreciated.
You could not have paid me to believe that our 2014 experience on our 25th Anniversary dinner at Fred's could ever be topped, but somehow Annie, Danny and Roger made the 35th Anniversary dinner even more memorable. Thank you, and I promise we will be back! read more
