Editorial Review for Frazier's Restaurant – by Kelly Ferguson

In Short
Frazier's provides adult refuge in the midst of a college strip. Dark wood wainscotting and muted lighting warm the interior, while local artwork adds some pizzaz. The intimate space fills quickly, but customers don't seem to mind waiting at the bar for a table. Expect a select menu that contains interesting, seasonal ingredients. The bone-in rib-eye is positively primal, but undeniably savory with a blueberry veal reduction.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We went for a special Mother's Day brunch and were not disappointed! The food was absolutely incredible - the steak melted in your mouth and we have never eaten such fresh produce at a dining establishment! We had exceptionally good service and the management is very accomodating and pleasant, but not in your face. I would highly recommend a visit if you want a relaxing and wonderful meal. We will chose to dine out less often to go to Fraziers just once!

Pros: Ambience, food quality, staff

Cons: parking

I've never written a review for Citysearch before, but once again I had a great dinner at Frazier's last week and am writing to encourage anyone passionate about food to give this place a try - especially if you've read recent negative reviews. The service at Frazier's is stellar. The entire staff simply seems to want you to have a great time enjoying their food. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They take pride in the menu and will advise if you're unsure, suggest wines if you ask ... and if you absolutely know what you want, they will back off, yet always remain attentive. Uniquely, the staff at Frazier's seem to have no 'ownership' over tables, and you might have the bartender or another server stopping by at some point - always just when you want them to: clearing plates, replenishing drinks, discussing food or drink, and generally making sure your needs are met. The food is out of this world. The menu is always changing, and always short: handful of appetizers including a few soups and salads, two or three pasta dishes, and a variety of fish, meat, and fowl entrees. I'd like to expound on my dinner last week (pate', salad, roasted duck entree, shared cheese plate and lemon pie and chocolate-mint martini to finish) but I'd salivate just thinking about it. The accompaniments to the appetizer and cheese were varied, well-planned and nicely presented. I recommend the cheese, either as appetizer or dessert. What I really love about Frazier's is the combination of excellent food and excellent drink, served with care and expertise but absolutely without inflation or pretense. This is an elegant yet very comfortable place where I'd gladly bring my parents, business partners, a first date, or good friends for an excellent dinner. If you love good food, please don't hesitate - just go!

Pros: Service, cuisine, dining experience, decor/atmosphere

Cons: none
