Frederick's Bistro

This was our first visit to Frederick's Bistro after receiving multiple recommendations from friends, and it definitely lived up to the hype! It has now earned a spot on our list of favorite restaurants. Although it's quite a drive from where we live, it's absolutely worth the trip.Our waitress, Blanca, was fantastic and made the best margaritas we've ever had. We started with the Vietnamese dumplings, which I enjoyed, though I wasn't a fan of the fish sauce; however, our friend loved it, so it really comes down to personal preference. The calamari was some of the freshest I've had, served over a bed of sweet chili vermicelli; truly incredible. We also shared the redfish, which was exceptionally fresh with no fishy taste at all.Overall, the experience was outstanding, and we will definitely be back!

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.

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.

We had a lovely dinner party for our group in their private room. With our preset menu, the food was delicious and the staff was amazing. Our correspondence with Rebecca made our everything so easy. I feel quite confident we would definitely do this again!

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!

I love giving 5 star reviews! And I love Frederick's Bistro. The food is always good and very consistent. I LOVE the beer salad here... I have it every time. All the food is great. It's a nice quiet place for a date and also has a terrific happy hour!

Went with a group of friends for Happy Hour.Our waitress was good, attentive and friendly.I ordered Brussels sprouts and they were tasty.I also tried the jalapeno chicken bacon wrap. They were ok. The chicken was dry and had no flavor.A friend had the duck liver mousse and said it was delicious.Nice atmosphere.

We are *always* happy with the wonderful food and great service!So cozy and inviting...we often meet friends at the bar for the delightful happy hour.

Food, service and atmosphere is great. Food is amazing. You must try it, I guarantee you will return. A+++++++++++ place.

Let me start this is the first time I have ever left a Yelp review as I have never felt compelled to comment on a poor experience in the past. On the positives, the food is great.The biggest complaint however is the nickel and diming of the customers. 1. They charge you $.50 each for bread but put the butter on the table when you arrive to entice you to order. And for those who don't eat bread like the gluten free diners at my table, we got charged per piece regardless.2. They charge $35 for a cake fee when you bring an outside cake to the restaurant. The fee must cover the candle and the unboxing which I personally do not feel is ever worth $35! Just ludicrous! 3. They charge $4 to split a salad and then the same to split a meal.In the end, my party of 6, paid over $365 and of that, $55 were in the ridiculous fees as above.This restaurant clearly doesn't put diners first and it is a shame as it will be our last time eating at this establishment. I would advise others to look elsewhere when deciding where to eat in San Antonio.
