The menu is really creative and the food was extremely good. They have a lot of people working there and they all seem to get along and get the job done. While sitting at the bar I witnessed a chef come out of the kitchen to tell another chef (who was plating food in front of me) what a good job he was doing. Also heard a conversation between servers about doing a chore. One server offering to do the chore because the other one didn't know how to do it. She asked if the experienced server could teach her and the veteran said "absolutely" and they went off together. It's an extremely pleasant place to have a meal.

About the restaurant

Freya is a multi-course dinner restaurant focused on executing the points of service at upper echelon restaurants in larger markets while ditching the pomp and circumstance traditions that make regular people feel out of place. The last several years have been extremely challenging for most people. We feel strongly that great food, great drinks, and great hospitality are things everyone deserves. Especially you.

We offer a multi course menu and can accommodate the following diets: Omnivore (no dietary restrictions), Pescatarian (vegetarian + seafood), or vegan (no animal products used). With notice, we’re also able to modify many items to be gluten-free. We respectfully ask that further modification requests only be made in cases of serious allergies; we may not be able to accommodate certain dietary restrictions

Really enjoyed the small tasting menu and appreciated the complexity behind 3 choices for each of the five offerings. Also came with bread and butter and a salad to share. The sauces were mostly outstanding, and very creative dishes to boot. We did one beverage pairing in our small party and the wine and dessert wine choices matched the restaurants adventurous spirit. Service was excellent. We would love to go back and maybe try the long tasting menu. Love that format and venues that push it. Came for a birthday and really had a great evening.

one server for most of restaurant , yet she did well food delicious but grape leaf rolls didn’t come out with meal . we had to ask , yet they were advertised on menu. bread board delicious but toasted to much. bread too hard ! almost stale butter cold and firm. difficult to use on bread. resistant very loud, close tables , you could tone down the music. your ethnic coffees way overpriced. $6.50 for 30 grand of muddy coffee that wasn’t even hot. s some changes should be made for sure. not as excited this visit
