Reviews for Fredericks
This restaurant was a real disappointment, the service was absolutely terrible and the food somewhat lacking, good thing I took good company or the evening would have been a total write-off!
On the most part this resturant was lovely: the service, the wine, the random tree in the middle of it: but I'd like to see some quality control in the kitchen.
What we ate now esc\pes me (but think it was probably 30% excellant and 60% pretty darn good) but I can't get this ravioli out of my head. Thick, grey-ish, tough and tasteless I had originally thought my duck was sitting on the mound of another animals' fat. I would have got more enjoyment out of chewing the (lovely white linen) napkin than eating that.
Whoever let it leave kitchen should be sent to the naughty step.
Frederick's is a bar and restaurant slightly hidden away in Camden Passage and has long established a reputation of delivering some of the best food in Islington serving up Modern European cuisine. The main area is through the back and is a large airy room with high vaulted glass ceiling. The atmosphere is perfect for business lunches and dinners.
As a quick trip we only ordered mains with sides. Dishes ordered included the Roasted cod, creamed leeks, pancetta & mash potato and Pan-fried salmon with scallops, cauliflower purée & broad bean dressing. Whilst all the dishes were beautifully prepared and balanced the service was a let down. Our sides, saute potatoes, hand cut chips and spinach and arrived at different times and the chips did not even end up coming as we had to leave after an hour and fiften minutes. The staff were friendly but despite it not being that busy, it was far too chaotic and a let down.
I feel that tonight was probably not the best night, although I have read somewhat often complaints of poor service at Frederick's. The food however was highly enjoyable and this a good location in Islington to entertain clients. 3 and a 1/2 stars!
Great restaurant - definitely recommended. Great ambience good food, and not as busy as other places. Great for business lunches.
beautiful. and La Pampelonne wine on the wine list.
Frederick´s is a family-run restaurant with a metropolitan feel; a place where comfort meets elegance, a tradition which moves with the times. Frederick´s has grown up with Islington; it is at the heart of the famous Camden Passage antiques quarter, and a step away from the bustle of Upper Street. It also couldn´t be more convenient for Sadler´s Wells, The Almeida and King´s Head theatres, the Screen on the Green Cinema and the Business Design Centre. Frederick´s main dining area is the Garden Room, an airy yet intimate space beneath a spectacular vaulted glass roof. It overlooks the patio and garden, which are open for drinks and dining whenever it is warm enough. The bar at Frederick´s is the perfect place to meet up or drop into: drinks, coffee and snacks are served throughout the day. And for those with business or celebrations to attend to, Frederick´s offers stylish but welcoming private rooms. Chef´s Speciality Dish: Assiette of Duck: Pan-fried breast with dauphinoise potatoes, confit of leg with celeriac mash
