Great location and service. Every one was so friendly even the patrons. My husband and I were drooling for fresh seafood and Martini's didn't disappoint. We Inquired about the seafood tower for 2 and were a bit taken back about the price. Don't get me wrong, you get plenty of seafood but I have to say the price is a little steep. Since it was our anniversary we decided to splurge. It would have been better if the crab legs were warm but it was definitely delicious nonetheless. Great visit and I highly recommend! read more

Ok. I have to say, if you are looking for a great restaurant in Fredericksburg, Martini's is the place! Wow!! Some of the best seafood I have ever had. The decor is old school New York with old black and white photos of sailing and John F. Kennedy. It's a small spot but has a cozy atmosphere. After a hike at enchanted rock, I had worked up an appetite. I had seen reviews on Martinis and was disappointed they weren't open. I stopped at the adorable store next door and chatted with the owner, asking her the best places to eat, she said martinis, hands down and worth the wait. So, I waited for them to open. I saddled up the bar, ordered a glass of wine and met some of the nicest people around. I ordered the shrimp boil. It was delicious. Perfectly cooked shrimp, crab, sausage and corn on the cob. It was sooo good but the portion was huge! I shared with my new friends at the bar. Perfectly seasoned in old bay. I am not an oyster lover but they were serving up a ton of oysters, so got rave reviews from the other patrons. They had an amazing singer performing. Great voice and a master on the piano. It was a lovely experience. I can't wait to come back again! read more

Great place. Noisy but you don't mind because the seafood tower was very good. Only thing bad ls parking.

I was in Fredericksburg with my girlfriends for a little getaway. We ate there two nights because the food for so good!

What a disappointment! We have been long time customers of Martinis and sent a lot of friends and family to this place. Martini was a great restaurant until they changed the ownership. Today we waited 1.5 hours to be accommodated and another 30 minutes to get a HOT bottle of white wine. The waiter excused himself for running out of glasses so he brought two different glasses and served my wine in a liquor glass. After all this, arrived the Lobster Rolls. They had nothing to do with the original ones. The quality of the food was horrible, not fresh, covered in butter and the size of the rolls was half of what it was previously. On the top of this we waited for some more time to receive the silverware that they forgot to bring. The atmosphere was noisy and no space to move between the tiny tables. It was supposed to be a pleasant dinner like always but instead it was horrible service and horrible food that you can buy from a mediocre Gas Station without spending $200.00. Customers be aware this is not the same Martini Restaurant and the positive reviews are from the old glorious days. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 They have songs from artists like The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and The Supremes. It definitively sets a charming mood. There's fresh seafood on ice at the window. The have lots of bar space, although table space isn't too large. Food: 5/5 We got lots of stuff. Lobster mac n cheese. Super creamy, lots of large chunks of lobster meat. It's also cooked with bacon which gave it a smokey flavor. Wedge salad, they asked if we wanted it split in two bowls and we did. It was drizzled with a tangy balsamic reduction, blue cheese, crispy onions, and bacon. It was great. The lettuce was crisp and the heirloom cherry tomatoes provided a pop of sweetness. The crab cakes were a good size, crunchy outside, tender inside filled with red and blue crab. Not too much filler, mostly crab meat. The Maine lobster roll was phenomenal. Large luscious crabmeat, lightly dressed with mayo and chive, in a fresh baguette type bread. They have a full bar and lots of drinks to choose from. I enjoyed my The French, a black currant martini and The Pear Tree. Both were well balanced and refreshing. Service: 5/5 they were attentive. Grabbed us waters as soon as we sat down and gave us drink and food menus and periodically checked on us. Parking: there's not a dedicated parking lot but there's lots of street parking available if you're here early. read more

In the Heart of Hill Country where the Texas Beef roams the turf, Martini's brings the surf! What a great find on our day trip to Fredricksburg with a quality dinner experience that all started with our Server, Christie. She was friendly, professional and very helpful in talking us through the many seafood options they offer. From my wife's Espresso Martini, fantastic Wedge Salad, to the Seafood Tower that was impressive in presentation. The Oysters, Lobster, Crab and Prawns were perfectly prepared that took us back our coastal roots! Add Martini's to your next visit to Fredericksburg and ask for Christie! read more

Fantastic music, fantastic service, fantastic atmosphere. Christian, our server, was one of the best we've had at any restaurant in a while. He was personable, friendly, not over bearing, and gave exceptional advice. We enjoyed our tuna burger and the shrimp and crab boil for our entrées. For appetizers, we had our Canadian oysters and the jumbo shrimp cocktail. Finishing our dinner experience with a chocolate martini and dirty martini. It didn't hurt to have a chocolate cheesecake to celebrate our anniversary. We highly recommend on your next trip to Fredricksburg! read more

Run do not walk to this wonderful restaurant! Oysters (not gulf), Cajun-influenced entrees, lobsta (sic) rolls, and the staples (meat & potatoes). All of our Appies and entrees were 5-star as was the service team on this busy Saturday evening. We four originally went to The Stable as their lobsta rolls and drinks were and I quote "off the charts". Well, the Stable is not serving food just strong pours. We were pointed to Martinis as this is their "sister" restaurant. After a brief wait we were seated and based on the fact that they were at capacity with a number of large parties we steeled ourselves for spotty service. Not so! Service was on point as were my Blue Point oysters! Two of us ordered their spicy lobsta roll (not I) and was bountiful and delicious. I ordered their Ahi tuna salad and it exceeded my expectations. There was a good amount of tuna and I was FullFilled at completion. Last but not least I ordered 2 desert dry Ketel One martinis and they rivaled the ones I mix/pour at home. They did have live music when we visited and the couple played our requests and then some. Good times, great food, & service! read more

First stop in Fredericksburg's and it was the perfect cap to our first night. We came in pretty late and needed a place to eat for dinner. Prior to coming into town I tried to call to join a waitlist and didn't have any luck getting through on the phone.. but did see many people calling in and reserving when we got to the restaurant. It was 6:30 was told there was a wait for 35-40 minutes. Not bad at all considering it was the peak of dinner time. The space was clean but lively and the customers here seemed to be enjoying their food. We were so excited to get seated and landed a seat at the bar! our server Cody was top notch! He was fast, made great drinks, and overall had a great personality. Food was good!! - The calamari was the star of the night . Crisp but flavorful while also having a nice balance between sweet and "tangy". - lobster Mac was good but the amount of cheese sauce was a bit much . Personal preference that is. I wish there was a crispy element ! - steak salad was okay... seafood is definitely their speed here. Drinks and desserts: - bluebonnet cocktail is perfect for those who love that fruity & sweet combo . Very fresh but also sweet! - key lime pie was personally a no. We didn't finish it and overall wished we chose the cheesecake which many were raving around us. Overall we would come again! read more

I visited this restaurant with high hopes due to a review I saw. I arrived with a friend and was told I could either sit at the bar or sit at this table that was in the corner at the back of the restaurant. I chose to sit at the table. The table and the chairs were poorly wiped down, with crumbs left behind. I cleaned it myself. I ordered a few things off of the menu; oysters, calamari, and an ahi tuna burger. The calamari was delicious! I didn't get to fully enjoy the oysters, because there was a long piece of hair sitting on the lemon that was provided and I would have liked some crackers. The waiter never came back to the table to ask if I needed a refill on my drinks, if the food tasted okay, or if there was anything else I might need. To be fair, they were short staffed and the place was a bit busy, but he passed up my table SEVERAL times, waiting on other tables. He could have quickly checked in with our table and let us know he'd be back to assist shortly. I expressed my concerns and they addressed the issues/apologized, so I do appreciate that. The decor was nice! A lot of pictures on the wall and just a really cozy spot. Overall, maybe my experience would have been better if they didn't have the staffing issue, but I still don't see myself returning anytime soon. read more

I went here for dinner last Sunday, and it was just okay. You can call ahead to get on the waitlist, and they'll text you when it's your turn. The place is small but cozy. However, our food took a long time to arrive, and the server didn't check on us while we waited. Once our meals came, he was attentive again. I ordered oysters, but the waiter forgot them. He did bring a few for free, which was nice. I had the pan-seared bass, and it wasn't great and felt overpriced. My partner got the steak, which was really good. Considering what we paid, I'd rate the service a 6.5 out of 10. It was Valentine's weekend, so I get that the staff might have been worn out. read more

Food & drinks were amazing. Service was ok, but they were also pretty busy. Jeremy came to save the day & provided us amazing service.

Came here for lunch on a Friday with a few girlfriends and though the place was mostly packed, we were able to find a seat right away. They have happy hour specials until 4 pm on Fridays, so we took advantage of that and ordered food and drinks from their HH menu. I started off with the French martini and ordered the Cucumber martini for my second drink. Both were really good! I loved the spicy tajin rim that the cucumber martini came with, which gave it a nice kick. We had dinner plans so we decided to order a few food items to snack on. We ordered the lobster slider, both spicy and Maine, Martini's baked parmesan scallops, the garlic shrimp scampi, and a dozen oysters. Each lobster slider comes with one slider plus potato chips. I get that lobster rolls are pricey, but I felt that one single slider on a Hawaiian bun with some chips for $15 during happy hour was a bit steep. The lobster itself was really good though, although the Maine tasted better than the spicy. The parmesan scallops were also really good and is a great option to share with others. The garlic shrimp scampi was also delicious and is super buttery and garlicky. Yum! The oysters were also good- nothing special though as they were just regular Gulf oysters. Service was fairly slow as there was only one server working, but everyone was friendly and accommodating with whatever we needed. Overall, we enjoyed our drinks and the few appetizers we snacked on. I would definitely come back here again and would like to try their regular menu for lunch or dinner. read more

On a whim we decided to try to walk-in on a Friday for dinner, early - we were successful and I can't tell you how happy I am we did. Started with oysters - today they had 3 different kinds so I had 2 of each. They did not disappoint. We then had the garlic shrimp scampi and the clams and mussels pot. One thing was better than the other. The garlic bread they serve alongside the seafood in the broth was just amazing. The bread in the oil from the scampi and THEN dunked into the broth from the clams & mussels - do it. Everything came out quick and Sierra was fantastic! It's a small space but comfortable. The bar looks popular for couples eating. read more

My husband and I stopped in to have a small snack while out shopping...food looks great but we never got ours after being there for an hour. Then they tried to charge us for the food we never received but they did agree to take it off. They don't need bartenders working the main floor drinks as well as taking care of the people at the bar. Again food looked great but we wouldn't know how it taste....sad as this was the one place I wanted to eat at while in Fredericksburg. read more

My first experience over 10 years ago trying an oyster was traumatic. I'm so glad I gave oysters another chance today because I liked it! So glad we ordered the Seafood platter! I think it was also my first time trying lobster and was pleasantly surprised. I also came with an oyster fanatic and she said they're great East Coast oysters, buttery! The food is very fresh, the drinks are fantastic and the service was excellent, thank you Cody! read more

Make your trip to Fredericksburg special with high quality seafood and cocktails :-) This is an especially good idea if you live in a city or county that doesn't offer great seafood. That said, don't be looking for your favorite fish here. This place is all about lobster, shrimp, oyster, and snow crab. The place is a full service bar (loved the espresso martini!), with seating for 12 at the bar, along with a 30-seat seafood restaurant. We had snow crab (excellent!), baked oysters, and a wild-caught, Argentinian shrimp cocktail. Martinis is within walking distance of all your favorite downtown Fredericksburg shops, so it certainly makes a great mid-shopping break. The service was excellent. There were five staffers serving twenty patrons. These included bartenders, wait staff and servers. The table behind us was a young couple that was new to ordering cocktails and ordered a dirty martini, which is something they'd never tried before. They didn't like it and wanted to switch to something more familiar (a beer). The waiter instantly replaced the drink, apologized and comped it... all very smoothly. In retrospect, we shouldn't have ordered baked oysters. They were good, gulf oysters, perfectly baked, covered with cheese and bacon. And they are tasty. But oysters are a delicate flavor. And so, prepared like this, you're basically paying $26 for the flavor of bacon and cheese. Better to go raw. And then you have a choice of three different types of oysters (market price). Plus, how often do you get to eat Price Edward or other species of oyster. If you've never tried anything but gulf oysters, this is a good place to expand your palate. Speaking of expanding your palate, they offer a wide array of martinis along with a few other specialty cocktails (such as an old fashioned to which they've added elderberry liqueur) at about $14 each. After a cocktail of two, or after eating snow crab and wanting to wash your hands, you'll discover my one complaint, which is that the restrooms were confusing. There are two unisex restrooms. The more visible one is labeled "restrooms" but there's only one toilet and one sink there, so I'm not sure why it's plural. And the other one is less visible (it's a side door just after the office), so I didn't see it. (Who expects a restroom outside of the area labeled "restrooms"?) As a result, I saw several patrons notice that the "restrooms" door was locked so they returned to their tables without noticing the other restroom. This is easily remedied, of course. No points off. Five stars. But I hope they soon make it clear to their bar patrons that they're not being forced to share one restroom with dozens of other drinkers. We'll be back for raw oysters and another espresso martini. And this time I won't be caught off guard by the whole coffee bean that was lurking below the surface. I didn't see it before it ended up in my mouth and then I crunched into it thinking it was a bit of ice, which gave me a bit of a surprise. Still... it was the best espresso martini I've ever ordered. read more

Great little spot in Fredericksburg to have a meal. We started off with some oysters on the half shell from the gulf and cape cod. Every bite went down with ease. I would have preferred a hotter horseradish but other than that, spot on. We also tried the Bruschetta. Great flavors, generous portion. The only hitch that lost that 5th star was when we sat and waited for a while for our entrees watching tables around us get served, leave and new patrons being sat. Our server asked us if we'd like dessert and we had to tell her we hadn't had our meal. She seemed a bit lost, ran to key it in, yes I watched. When it finally arrived it was perfect, no complaints. We enjoyed wine, cocktails and desserts leaving with full bellies and smiles. read more

The Martinis are delicious they offer huge seafood plates to share the shrimp was yummy and the chocolate cheesecake hit the spot!

Lots of hype with the place because there are a ton of people waiting 2 + hours for a seat so of course we wanted in. Unfortunately they don't understand how to give estimates on wait time so we went in not too happy but after waiting more than 1.45 we didn't want to find another place. All the customers looked so happy eating and drinking that we had major rose colored glasses syndrome. The food and service was meh and this review would have been a 3 star but our waitress Sierra came to our table with garlic bread to help turn our hangry attitudes around. Not sure if this place was off it's game because we didn't get seated until 8:30p and the staff was struggling. We ordered...

First time here and I was not disappointed! Small place but great menu. Drinks were also great. I had two cucumber martinis and they were very tasty. Also had a lobster roll. Lobster Mac n cheese, a wedge salad, and crab cakes. Everything was very good. It wasn't too busy when we sat down so we were served pretty quickly and the food didn't take long either. There isn't a parking area, it's here in the town and parking is along the streets. Very great waitstaff and great ambiance and great music was playing as well. I highly recommend! read more

Our favorite seafood restaurant!!! Food is always excellent. Our waiter Jeremy was awesome. Great food and service!!!

What an awesome seafood restaurant!! We called ahead to put our name on the waitlist and it was about 1hr 45mins on a Friday night. We checked out another spot for drinks and the cute shops around in the meantime so it wasn't a problem! Intimate with great service - and an extensive martini menu (as expected by the name of the restaurant!) I ordered the Barramundi with the Lobster Mac and Cheese on the side. The Lobster Mac and Cheese was my personal favorite from the menu. The Barramundi was a little too dressed in butter for my taste but was still super refreshing. Great spot for a nice dinner and would definitely return in the future! read more

Our bartender/waiter Sterling was awesome, and the oysters were also solid. But that is the end of the positives. It took a very long time to get our food, and when we did, the crab/shrimp pot was absolutely awful. That rancid smell is still on my hands. FWIW my husband enjoyed his poeboy, but I'll be thinking about that boil broth for a long time, and not in a good way. The creme brûlée was also horrible. Basically scrambled eggs. What annoys me the most is this place has all their reviews from getting free dessert. This is not a 5 star establishment. read more
