Expensive but good. We both had cocktails and 4 tapas and it was $105. Everything was very good. Decor was very nice. They wallpapered the ceiling in the bathroom. Really enjoyed the beer cheese. Tuna salad was a bit over done. Waitress was a Brit and very nice.
We were very excited to try this place with our cousin when we saw the amazing reviews it received. The inside of this restaurant is cool, modern with a perfect amount of bar tables and seats. Our waitress came over to our table and we immediately ordered drinks. Kinky Boots was a great choice, but The Dutch Courage did not taste like it had much alcohol in it, and I definitely did not catch a buzz.
The food was good, but not amazing. We order the pork tacos, the pork buns and the buffalo chicken spring rolls. The big downer for me was the pork that had a lot of excess fat on it and totally turned me off of the pork, which is why I ordered the chicken rolls.
After our first drink and initial order of food, another waitress came over and took my chicken spring rolls order and our second round. After that we did not see a waitress for a long time. We sat waiting at our table with empty glasses and waiting for our check for a solid 20 minutes before getting the waitress' attention.
I definitely would not seek this place out again unless we were invited. Hopefully they can figure out the service aspect of this place, but otherwise it was okay.
Dutch Fred's is the perfect bar for an escape from the overcrowded, overtouritsty restaurants and bars in the Time Square area. I came here with a small group of friends for some happy hour drinks and food and was blown away by the restaurant, service, food and drinks.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Has a modern yet old-fashioned vibe, a mixture of old pictures and great interior design from their lighting and the beautiful set up of the bar. There's both bar seating and table seating available which is great depending on the mood you are in. As for the service, it was top notch. Our waitress Tracy was phenomenal! Super friendly and attentive in taking our multiple drink orders. The busboys regularly came by to clear dishes and refresh our water bottles.
The food definitely satisfied tipsy munchies. My friends and I ordered the poutine to share and I tried the ahi tuna salad. The fries were plenty to share between 4 people. It was topped with melted cheese and gravy with a mountain of crisp fries underneath. Super filling and delicious. The ahi tuna was also plentiful and cooked really well. It had a great crust with beautiful red raw tuna in the middle. A great refreshing entrée.
The star I would have to say were their cocktails. I tried multiple and each were different and tasty, made with great care and mixology. The Kinky Boots was my favorite, fragrant from the fresh lemon, complementing perfectly with the St. Germain. I also tried the Hell is a Mild Climate which had a great kick from the jalapeno.
Overall, a really wonderful experience. Perfect for dates, friend catch-ups and afterwork happy hours!
Had to try the new neighborhood bar out. Certainly geared towards the Broadway show crowd/tourists, you'll be greeted by a warm staff and a "where are you from?" and when you respond with, "I live in the neighborhood," they will be slightly surprised that you've found your way into this spot. I sat at the bar with a friend around 5:30pm on a Saturday. There was ample seating at that time but quickly filled up by 7PM. The drink menu is really quite fun and our bartender, Francisco had a lot of good suggestions to tweak each beverage to what you like or you can go completely off script. This is a cocktail bar after all and Dutch Freds is a place that wants you to enjoy your beverage and take in the ambiance.
Under the same ownership as Tanner Smith's on 55th street, you will notice a lot of resemblance between the décor and the food menu. We tried the meatballs, the pork buns and the nachos. None of the food options blew me away but I'd perch up here again and try one of the flatbreads, those looked great and came recommended by the bartender.
Tough crowd here in NYC so I was determined to try this highly Yelp rated bar. Amazing ambiance and attention to detail. Just exquisite! The ahi tuna salad was perfection and it paired very well with the Guinness. Wow try this while it's hot!
Atmosphere was great. I only stopped in for a glass of wine. Service was good.
Long bar table, Good drinks, Fantastic bartenders, and Decent food options..
I really like the atmosphere at this place. It's such a low key but chic place to be.
I do think they have areas for improvement on the drink menu – they just don't sound very interesting or delicious.. They do turn out to be good but I wasn't interested in trying more than the two I got..
Been here twice in the past week. Cocktail game was strong! Sat at the bar one time and the bartenders were excellent. Food is very good. Small plates don't seem that small! Both times haven't been able to eat all the food that has arrived.
Service the second time was friendly but very slow. However, still had a great dinner with terrific drinks (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is my favorite) and food…the wings are huge! Cauliflower tacos were good too. Their take on poutine is not what you would find in Montreal but it's still good. But let's be honest, fries, cheese, and gravy could never be bad!
Very cool place, great decor and terrific atmosphere. Get there early because it gets crowded!
