Freds Madison Avenue Reviews
The service was great. My burger was amazing. The dessert was crazy huge! And it was also really good. Everything was clean and bright. It was pretty expensive.... $50 for a burger and dessert. But delish.
I have been an intermittent diner here for over a decade. Whilst located in a landmark department store Barney's always has the ambience of being something more. With very consistent service and menu (French fries are amongst the best I can remember) I regret forgetting to go more often, which is why each time I do go it reinforces my view that this is a well run establishment both front of house and in the kitchen. The environment is light and airy and always feels quintessentially New York.
Had no idea this place existed. Fred's is in the same genre as Stella's at Macy's and other pleasant department story eateries. It's hard on the wallet, but if you're shopping at Barney's, chances are you've already crossed that boundary. Service was excellent and the food was good. I got the ocopus starter and kept it simple with spaghetti and meatballs. Those meatballs, while double any Italian nonna would charge at a family trattoria, are a meal in themselves. The wine was flowing and everything was well. Plus, my father in law picked up the tab, and you can't argue with that.
I LOVE the bar here. Great place to sip on champagne after a long day of shopping (LOL) with your girlfriends. Good place to people watch and to check out how everyone pairs their top designer clothing. You never know who you might see from Celebrities, Socialites, Upper East Side Moms without their nannies, Tourists from overseas, Fashion Designers, Celeb Stylists, Doggies with rain coats (I wished, I had Snapped a pic) to doggie in strollers, etc. (LOL) I always order the homemade chicken soup. On the menu it's listed as the "Get Over" a cold and "skinny" soup for those who want to keep up their figure (LOL). It's filled with chunks of chicken (Picture is attached) Excellent service and the best bartenders.
Hard to go wrong with place .. great location on top of Barneys department store .. very nice selection of wines by the glass plus awesome food!
