   We have heard great things about Freddie’s the last several years visiting PS and finally got around to trying it. We are unhappy it took us this long, great food, excellent wine and very attentive service. We will definitely return.

   Freddie’s is unexpected treasure! We stumbled upon it while staying a night at The Cole. The food was delicious and both Freddy and Marco were so personable and made our experience especially delightful. With all the dining offerings available in Palm Springs, Freddie’s is under the radar, but such an intimate dining experience not to be missed!

   This was our third visit to Freddie's. The food is wonderful and the service impecable. The menu is small but each dish has been outstanding. Freddie is a great chef who is in constant contact with each patron. Prices are right on for Palm Springs. I would highly recommend you give this a try.

   Absolutely the best and freshest food in Palm Springs. The seasonal menu features the best choices for the time of year expertly and creatively prepared. Do not miss Chef Fred's signature mushroom strudel appetizer. In addition to the delicious food, the service is friendly and excellent. The Chef will probably bring out your entree himself as soon as it is cooked. The intimate dining room ensures that you will never get lost in a crowd or have to raise your voice during your dinner conversation. In sum, it's a gem.

   We had dinner at Freddie’s for Valentine’s Day. They had a prix fixe menu with three courses, plus a little amuse bouche and a complementary glass of champagne. Everything was delicious and the service was great. The owner/chef, Frédéric, came out and chatted with everyone. I had cream of butternut squash soup for a starter and my partner had a tomato salad. We both had roast duck and crème brûlée.

   We went for a romantic Valentine's Day meal. Ambiance was not very romantic, for a large table with kids greeted us & and a small table by the door was our table. A prix fixe menu was advertised but no option to order separately. Mai tai drinks were excellent. Tomato salad & escargot were very nice but smallish portions. Entres were a wonderful Baramundi dish & elk medallions which lacked much flavor. Our desserts came quickly, along with the check, making us feel quite rushed. Overall, the experience was not excellent, which was expected given the price & previous reviews.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Bart. We’re glad you enjoyed the Mai tai drinks along with the tomato salad and escargot. We’re sorry to hear that the seating and pace did not meet your expectations on such a special day. Your feedback about the entrees and the ambiance is truly valuable. We are a bistro, so vibrant and energetic are likely used more often than romantic to describe our atmosphere – especially when we are busy; as we were on Valentines. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the exceptional, relaxed dining experience you deserve. Thank you again for your honest review.

   Not sure what all these 5 star reviews are stating but our experience left us sick! I am dispersing this food experience in my toilet as I am writing this review. Perhaps my stomach is not ready for French food but this was a terrible Valentines day. Even our server was unhelpful and looked annoyed the whole time. We asked questions since the menu had french words in it and we don’t speak french. Definitely over priced and something my wife and I will not be trying again. Also chef seems defensive and not taking accountability from feedback from paying customers’ experiences.
