   We truly enjoyed our time here. We went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't too crowded where you couldn't hear the conversation at the table. The music had a nice R&B vibe but again wasn't loud to the point where it was hard to hear. The only down side was that the lamb chops weren't available but I guess that might speak to how good they are. Overall our food was good, came out quickly and was very tasty. Definitely will be going back.

   I was excited to try Fraiche because I enjoy the online content of the restaurant owner and wanted to support this restaurant. The physical restaurant feels like three different spaces. The rear dining area was stunning with warm tones and inviting banquettes-- clearly the place you wanted to be. However, it was a complete contrast from the space near the entrance that felt darker, unfinished and cold. We were originally seated in the front area, smack in the middle of incoming foot traffic near the hostess table. After asking to be moved, the team worked hard to reseat us, and moved us to an elevated section facing the bar with the massive street mural art. The deviled eggs arrived quickly, and was a good start. They had a little sweetness and just the right crunch inside. We enjoyed our drinks enough to order a second round. I had the punch, my husband had the old fashioned--we liked the detail of the honeycomb inside. For entrees, my husband ordered the lamb chops and found them to be flavorful, the potatoes were also seasoned well. While the snapper is presented beautifully, the tempora coating was too thick, masking a not-so-meaty fish. What redeemed this situation and a smart move, were the fish bite nuggets that felt like an extra prize. This was the best part. The bites were full of flavor and the breading was perfect. The rice and peas and vegetables were seasoned to perfection and the mambo sauce had me scraping my plate. The staff finished strong, presenting my husband with a lovely birthday cheesecake with a strawberry macaroon on top. He was a fan of the crumble. We aren't big macaroon fans, but this one was delicious and the cheesecake also tasted lovely. Apps came out quickly, but the entrees took much longer. Each member of the staff we encountered were warm, friendly and ready to serve. You can have a sexy night out here, with great 90s R and B music. Be prepared to slow down and take your time and enjoy the company and people watch.

   The flavor profile of the food was nice, but the gumbo and she crab soup were heavily salted. Too salty to finish. The oxtail meatballs were delicious. Our server Blu was excellent.

   We were celebrating our anniversary and it was a great experience. Parking was ok because there was a close lot. The food and service were great. Will definitely be back.

   Blue was our server for the evening. Even though she was training, she was super attentive and fast with changes or requests. Will definitely come again when I’m in town.

   First time trying Fraîche, and it was absolutely AMAZING 10/10! From the wait time to customer service and food quality, everything was excellent. A great touch was the owner personally introducing himself. Our bartender and server, Mark, was phenomenal attentive, energetic, and provided top-notch service. The drinks were fantastic, especially the Golden Sage A+! The atmosphere was inviting, and the overall experience was outstanding. I’ll definitely be back to try more!

   The food and service was amazingggg ! Our server Shantell was so sweet & knowledgeable of the menu & made sure she went above and beyond to meet our needs. For this restaurant to just open everything we had was a 10/10. The presentation along with the taste of the food left us wanting to come back again. We literally ordered half of the starters and our entrees did not take to Long to come and was hot and very fresh. Thank you again Shantell you were amazing.My family & I traveled from Baltimore & it was worth the drive !
