    We had another delicious meal at Bar Frites the other evening. Our reservation was honored and we were seated at a very nice table for two. Our server greeted us very quickly. We then ordered our meals. I had the tasty chicken noodle soup. We shared the large Chinese Chicken Salad. We feel it’s more than enough for two people. It’s big, but if you’re hungry, you could probably eat by yourself. We really like the atmosphere are Bar Frites, it’s a terrific restaurant in definitely many ways. ⭐️⭐️👌⭐️🤩

    Our server was excellent. The staff were very attentive and helpful. It was a little difficult understanding some of the items on the menu, but our server was very patient in making everything clear. Definitely recommend the weekday price fixe menu. It was a great value with a nice selection. Just one suggestion when making a reservation through Open Table when you put in standard seating, the covered patio comes up. This is something I did not want and did not choose. The restaurant was more than happy to clear this up.

    Loved the food and the decor in this place. I know V day is amateur hour and sometimes can be overwhelming for staff but I feel like the staff was very green. They meant well and were always concerned but they made their frustrations and nervousness too obvious in the dining area. A couple of good wait staff could help that place kill it. The food is good enough to attract loyal clientele. Drinks were tasty but weak. Had to request stronger ones twice. Overall a good experience. I would go back but would love to see service improvements. Again, the staff meant well but they need some organization and direction.
