Thank you Collin's for the great service. Thank you Connor for making the drinks. It was a good evening, ambiance was just right. The mussels and clam pot is excellent a must try! Cannot go wrong with the Ahi Tuna, slaw and asparagus. read more

We had a very odd experience here. I was part of a group of seven, and after being turned away from another restaurant, we decided to try this place. Initially, the hostess told us they couldn't accommodate our party, but then they changed their mind. The interaction felt uncomfortable, as she emphasized their policies for large groups and mentioned that they normally require a minimum of $145 per person. She ultimately allowed us to bypass that requirement as long as everyone ordered an entrée. Our waitress, however, was wonderful and provided excellent service throughout the meal. I ordered the clam and mussel pot, which I found surprisingly bland, though the bread was delicious. The rest of my group seemed to enjoy their meals much more than I did. Unfortunately, there were also some cleanliness concerns. A spider descended from the ceiling onto our table during dinner, and another bug crawled across the table. There was even a bug zapper in the corner of the restaurant that seemed to be going off constantly throughout our meal. For a party of seven, our bill came to around $700. Given the overall experience, the food quality, and the atmosphere, it felt a bit underwhelming for the price. read more

This place currently sits at 4 1/2 stars with over 400 reviews which was enough to get us through the door. You should know, this is an intimate space with only eight 4 tops and a dozen seats at the bar and that's all. We got here on a Wednesday happy hour, and the place was almost full, so making a reservation might be in order. The happy hour food and drink specials is most likely the reason why the place was almost packed. The dinner menu takes the prices to the next level. We started off with a couple of $10 martinis and decided on four happy hour menu items. My shrimp Po boy came on a crunchy French baguette and the Seabass was cooked to perfection. No wonder this place was packed. At six on the dot a pianist took the stage and livened up the atmosphere. The happy hour crowd trickled out, and the dinner folks strolled in. We added their bruschetta as the final piece and it was really very fresh. Some notes of interest that others may have missed: 3% credit card fee, no wifi and there's mouthwash for you in the bathroom. Definitely a place to revisit. 10 informative photos to get you through the door. read more

This was our first stop on our girls trip weekend. We came here for drinks and to share an app. We all got side cars, which were very delicious and we split the spinach, and artichoke dip. We would've gotten more had our appetite been big enough to match the price. it started out pretty quiet once we arrive, but by the time we left, it was packed.our server was super nice as well. read more

after not getting oysters at Zanzanburg tavern, we went to Martini's happy hour for $1 oysters and $10 martinis. There was a line outside waiting to get in. We sat at the bar and Conner took special care of us. The wife had a cucumber martini and i got a cosmo. Both good. Very small place but great pictures on the wall. Nice bar. The oysters were good and then the wife got a bowl of mussels and clams. The clams were kind of tiny but good. The lady next to us had a delicious looking dish of seabass. Regular prices are a bit dear for us but happy hour was great. read more

First of all, the service was 20/10, Kali took such good care of us and gave us the best recommendations, the seafood tower is such great quality and a great deal. Also would recommend their chowder. The vibe is really chill but rustic/nostalgic? Would total recommend if you want fresh seafood, vibes and service! read more

Had my birthday dinner at Martini's in Fredericksburg on a Saturday night! They don't take reservations and I forgot to call ahead for the waitlist. When we got there around 7:30ish, they told me it would be a 45-minute wait for a table for 2 but they ended up seating us within 20 minutes. They were very accommodating too when we asked to be seated at a bigger table than where they were originally going to put us. I had a couple of New Old Fashioned drinks and they were delicious! We had the oysters Rockefeller and the bruschetta as appetizers...equally delicious. I ordered the lobster and filet mignon and my boyfriend got the filet. Both came with asparagus and garlic toast. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection! We were very happy with our meal! The only thing I wanted looking back, was to have read the menu a little more closely and asked for the sauce on the side. It was rich and detracted from some of the flavors of the lobster and the steak, which didn't need to be hidden by a heavy sauce. Martinis is on the pricier side, but the restaurant ambience is nice, service is very friendly and attentive, and the food is excellent! Give it a visit if you're in Fredericksburg! read more

We've been eyeballing Martini's for a few years (on our semi-annual F'burg trip), and tonight we pulled the trigger. Right off the bat, I had to start with some oysters, and our server, Virginia, gave a great rundown to help me make the right decision. We started out with ceviche as an appetizer, which was really nice. It was just the right blend of tart from the lime and spice from the pico. The cucumber provided a nice texture too. I ordered the crab and shrimp boil. Extra-spicy Cajun. Yeah. This isn't boujee, big-city spicy. No. I forgot we're in Texas. Yeah... it's spicy! But, it tastes great! I'd definitely repeat it! My wife had the ahi tuna, for her dinner and it was cooked perfectly. We finished the night with a wonderful slice of key lime pie. This place is a repeat, and if possible, we'd ask to be seated in Virginia's section. She treated us really well! read more

First and most wonderful visit to Martini's this evening! Servers were Mia and Cameron, both did a great job! Seated immediately... no reservations accepted, so get there early. Bernie Martini on the piano... nice! We arrived in time for happy hour, so fresh gulf oysters and martinis ruled the first hour! Oysters were delicious, served ice cold. Cosmo and lemon drop martinis had the right balance. Parmesan scallops followed, with garlic bread on the side. A different dish, but delicious! Glad we tried that one! Entrees included the shrimp poor boy and barramundi piccata. Both expertly cooked and served piping hot... A glass of rose and French bubbles made a perfect pairing. Key lime pie for dessert was the perfect ending to a phenomenal meal. Finished with lemon draped hot towel service! We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend Martini's! read more

Colin and Connor were outstanding! They gave excellent service and even provided my wife a drink that was no longer on the menu. Food was great as always! Definitely recommend coming to Martini's when in Fredericksburg, TX. read more

We have been here multiple times and it's so good we brought my dad for his 79th birthday. Everything was top tier! love the food, love the live music! thank you Kali and Cass! read more

Everything! Service was great! Our server was Kaylee. She was fabulous. Had Australian sea bass and it was delicious!!!!

Connor Tait and Sterling. Wow. That is all I have to say. Come and experience them for yourself. Come now. Don't wait. Now.

This quaint little restaurant could easily be on the east coast in Boston or around Martha's Vineyard. It's small inside with a few tables outside as well. There's full service at the bar too, but I would recommend coming early if you don't want to wait. We sat at the bar for a few appetizers and drinks. The service was excellent, the drinks and food were delicious. (The clam chowder was a bit too salty for my preference). I highly recommend this place for the atmosphere and service. Prices are high, but everything is in this touristy city. Enjoy! read more

I promise you I wanted to gate keep this place but I just can't because I think it was one of the most phenomenal meals that my friend and I shared together.

Richard is the best bartender. We had the freshest seafood . I would def come back ! I loved sitting at the bar with the great atmosphere.

To be honest this place was absurdly overpriced and the food was mediocre. I can go get fresh clam chowder in Seattle or Boston on the waterfront for $10-15. It's $28 at Martinis. They also do a 3% credit card surcharge. Nickel and diming your customers isn't the play. read more

The oysters for $1....I would be back for this every day if I lived here. The service and drinks were also great. But the oysters! You need to get the oysters!! read more

The food and service were great but had we not gone during happy hour I would have considered it overpriced. We go to high end restaurants all the time but charging Ocean City, Maryland prices in Fredericksburg where you know it wasn't caught that day is a little much. That being said the happy hour was definitely worth it, and we will be back for that! They do have live music some nights and while it was wonderful, it was a little loud for such a small space. read more

It was a lively spot to have lunch! I was pleasantly surprised and it had a bit of a wait. There is a bit of a sea smell and fried food scent that will stay on you upon departure. Dirty Martini with blue cheese olives made perfect. Boozy enough while tasting delicious. I had a blackened fish sandwich. Was good and ranch was good too. I would go back! read more

Martini's - Fish sandwich - Seafood Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

Unless you just want drinks, underwhelming food that is poor value for money - not because it's pricy, because it's basic. I had the tuna steak, and the slaw was relatively plain - a missed opportunuty. My significant other had the crab claws, and they had it drowned in parsley and butter pre-crack, and with the corn they over-peppered. The corn showed the service as inadequate, because at first they didn't bring it; when my partner went to see about it, the response was that it was coming, but how were we to know. There was no, "oh, your side will be right out." My asparagus was fine, but not outstanding. I enjoyed 2 other FBG restaurants, but wow, this one disappointed. read more

We had a really frustrating experience at Martinis in Fredericksburg. We called ahead because it was cold, rainy, and we were traveling with babies. On the phone, they told us they had availability and could accommodate us, no mention of any restrictions or special policies. When we arrived, everything changed. Suddenly, they said they couldn't seat us because our group was "too big." Then we were told that any group of 7+ is automatically forced into a $145 per person prix fixe chef's menu. We had six adults and three babies (babies who obviously are not eating a multi-course tasting menu, they are drinking MILK) and they still tried to apply this policy to us. Not only was this never mentioned on the phone, but it felt completely unreasonable given the makeup of our group. Meanwhile, we were staring at an empty table that was big enough to fit our group. We were fully prepared to spend a significant amount of money there, and instead were turned away over a policy that should have been clearly communicated upfront. If you have strict rules like this, communicate them ahead of time, especially when people call to confirm. Don't tell guests you can accommodate them and then change everything when they arrive. The lack of transparency and flexibility made for a really disappointing experience. Would not recommend, especially for groups or anyone traveling with kids. Don't anticipate this place will be in business long. read more

Fabulous lunch with Jeremy being the star of the service here! We made the drive from SA and tried the shrimp and crab boils (old bay and spicy) the shrimp po boy, the lobster roll, lobster bisque and ahi tuna steak. I recommend the bisque and lobster roll! For dessert we tried the chocolate ganache cheesecake and creme brûlée. Will order the pecan pie next time because it looked great. read more

We were fortunate to have only a brief wait for a table after being quoted an hour to hour and a half - the text came after only 25 minutes, and the kind hostess laughed and told us she likes to under promise and over deliver. That was just the start of a great evening. Our cocktails were tasty, my husband had the whiskey sour special and I enjoyed a vodka soda after drinking wine all day... The room is bustling and the seafood out on display when you walk by outside. We enjoyed a dozen oysters as well as the crab artichoke dip as starters. I had the barramundi piccata which was light but filling, and he enjoyed his crab legs. We walked back to our nearby hotel with full bellies after a fun evening. read more

Martinis was great. We came in on a Sunday afternoon and by the time we left, the place was full. Don't bring in your drinks from other spots, we accidentally did and they were kind enough to replace it (shhhh!). We ordered the spinach artichoke dip. So good! Also ordered the Shrimp Boil to share. Absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The service was good and the atmosphere was really great. I would definitely recommend and return. Tip: They do charge a fee for credit cards. Apparently they also have a loyalty program. read more

The prices on the food here are completely crazy! The value compared to the prize is not even in the same hemisphere. Reading on Google reviews after the fact, and apparently they have been paying people to write reviews for them or offer free dessert. That would explain why a tiny restaurant has 6700 reviews on Google. There hasn't been that many people come through the restaurant since it opened. read more

We had a lovely dinner at the bar where Cass took great care of us! The oysters were delicious and everything was so fresh!

Everything was DELISH! Price was on point for HH. When we're in the neighborhood, we'll be back!!

Felt like our business wasn't wanted. Was told at 6pm it would be an hour and a half wait and we were more than welcome to wait outside. No reservations are allowed under 6 persons. read more

Cass was a terrific Bartender and server. The calamari with toasted honey is the best! And martinis are on point!

Been a minute since we came to Fredericksburg. We definitely love good Seafood! This facility was casually cozy with recorded music playing. Make sure you have reservations as this place tends to get busy & limited seating. We started with a fresh Wedge salad which we decided split. Will say a full wedge would have been a bit too much for one person. Fresh bread which we discovered was from a local bakery. The fresh shrimp boil another meal we split. Unfortunately I do not have pics of the dessert as my spouse consumed before I was able to snap a pic. Definitely would return here again. read more

Would put 0 if I could. Do not waste your time. They only take reservations for 6+ (how goofy)? They say call ahead. I called an hour ahead. Get there and they say "oh we don't take an hour ahead unless we're full." They were full. They proceed to put me on a waiting list for 30 min. I go back in the 30 min. They say it'll be another 45. It was my birthday too. If you don't want to be treated the same way, don't go. Another couple in front of us dealt with the same. Horrible management. Ppl in t shirts and flip flops too at a "nice seafood restaurant." read more

UPDATE. A representative reached out from Martini's to both apologize and give me an update. The Happy Hour saw only supposed to be closed during the two weeks of spring break. Happy Hour was restarted today and again, locals, please don't try and use another promotional discount with another offer. Martini's Jacks, and other businesses offer locals night and happy hour as a appreciation or thank you. May venues do so and make little profits on those items. So please, don't abuse it or take advantage. I know my servers/owners. They do appreciate the community and locals. So remember to tip and tip on the full amount without the discount . Our services often drive into Fredericksburg from other communities. Thanks again Greg. read more

Service was great. Ambiance was nice especially the music. Food was not bad but I don't feel like we got our moneys worth. A small shrimp po boy was over $26. I ordered the sea bass. It had decent flavor and texture but the amount received was underwhelming for the price we paid. Expect over $200 for a couple of drinks , 2 apps, and 3 meals that are served in cafeteria style baskets. read more

This review will be split in two parts. First, the staff is great. Wendy, Sterling and everyone provided great service. The drinks were great. The oysters were fresh and tasty. Then main courses were subpar. The lobster bisque was very salty and tasted like something out of a can. The steak salad had a super sweet dressing that over powered everything and the sirloin was chewy and lacked flavor. Not sure what the hype is all about. But I'd come back just for drinks and oysters. Everything else is wayyyy overpriced for the quality. read more
