The food is always great at Chef Freddy's. For the day after Christmas, we were a party of seven, tasting venison (perfect medium rare), Chilean sea bass, ravioli, salmon, and calamari. Two things stood out: the calamari is supplemented with spicy peppers, giving it a unique taste and the care taken for the seventh member of our party--our 3-year-old granddaughter. She was affectionately welcomed and, when the fancier food lost some of its appeal to her, out came a bowl of vanilla ice cream. She was one happy toddler, singing to anyone who would listen. Thank you, Chef Fredy's!

Seated on the upper level of the dining room we had a grand view of the Tiffany ceiling, and it was much less noisy than the main floor or the red dog. At the close of the meal we were serenaded by the wonderful Brynn Stanley and her pianist, and we spent a happy hour post meal listening to them perform holiday and jazz favorites. A great way to begin the last weekend before Christmas!
