We were struggling to find new (for us) local and potentially good dining spots and came across Frederick's, which as SqM describes aptly is quite shiny. We weren't alone, as they seemed to be struggling too, and unfortunately it was on the culinary front. We were one of two couples dining in hushly traditional and fussy surrounds. Service was efficient and unobtrusive but the whole experience was one of anachronism. The chef seemed to be striving to do fine dining but not quite achieving, and with little else to entice, I don't think we will re-visit.
