The prices are misleading. We thought we were getting the lunch special for $29 and there were many add on costs. In addition, $20 for sparking water is high, even for NYC

Hi Melissa, If you are going to leave a review, please make sure it is honest and not misleading. You had two LITER btls of Pellegrino ($10 ea). Your two-course lunch special order did not have any add-on charges (I checked the receipts). You opted to add a dessert for $8 (typically $14 if ordered a la carte) but it is also highlighted in bold, so customers are aware before ordering. If you have any "add-on" charges on your receipt that I am not seeing on ours, please feel free to email it to us and we will gladly correct the situation.

We had a nice family dinner at Frida’s. Food, aperitive and service were great, the desserts were amazing. We were seated upstairs which put us some what out of the general atmosphere but it was certainly ok. Good price value and friendly staff. Keep up the good work ! The Belgian family

This is an exceptional restaurant 👏! Food is mouthwatering delicious. The atmosphere and ambiance is extremely relaxing, romantic, siren, classy, and elegant. The service is the best of the best. They're attentive, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and exceptionally efficient. To top it all off, their Happy Hour offers several nice specials that help diners stretch their dollars and still enjoy some of the best food and drinks in NYC. Yes, I said NYC. This is a must visit if you want a unique and exquisite dining experience at reasonable prices.
