About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
Fraiche (French for Fresh) is a fresh take on culinary fusion with inspiration from multiple cultures (including French, Cajun/Southern American, and Caribbean). This is also a fresh take on the historic architecture of the venue, which was once a theater.

Fraiche is designed to be a non-pretentious culinary destination with a nod to upscale dining without the stuffiness. The menu is constructed in a way that takes approachable and recognizable food and elevates it, with no flavor left behind!

Since the beginning of time, food has brought people together and that is our ultimate goal with this concept.

    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.

    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 !

    The service was terrible and the food was just alright, definitely not worth the cost. First it took a while to get a waiter to our table. Then, we ordered all our food at once, but when we finished our appetizers, the waiter asked if we wanted anything else and offered a dessert menu.. we had to remind him that we still didn’t have our dinners yet. Then we waited a while and the manager came over and asked if we needed anything, we told her we were still waiting on our dinners but after a few minutes she brought us the bill. We reiterated again that our dinners never came. We got the steak frites and while the fries were good, half of the steak was inedible. We also ordered the garlic noodles with salmon which was fine, but tasted plain. For appetizers we got the Mac and cheese and oxtail meatballs which were both good. The bread pudding for dessert was just ok. We also ordered the cheesecake but they ran out. Once we finished eating, it took forever for someone to bring us the bill and to take our credit card, my husband had to get up and walk it over to the waiter. Service was absolutely terrible and we will never go back.

    My friend and I had the pleasure of dining at this gem during their soft opening, and we were beyond impressed. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the perfect tone—warm, inviting, and effortlessly stylish. We started with the Royal Wings and She Crab Soup, both bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. For our entrées, the Golden Gate Noodles paired with the Lamb Chops were a standout—perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Honey Butter Cornbread was the cherry on top—rich, comforting, and unforgettable. The service was top-notch, the music created a great vibe, and the drinks were just as impressive as the food. If you’re looking for a place that checks every box—delicious food, amazing atmosphere, attentive service, and an overall memorable experience—this is it. 10/10 would recommend. We’ll definitely be back!
