Freddie’s Menu
The menu at Freddie’s Kitchen celebrates fresh and seasonal ingredients. He brings his trained French cuisine dishes and combines them with local flavors. From farm-to-table salads to mouthwatering entrees, there is something to satisfy every palate. He takes his inspiration from the flavors of France, California, and the globe, creating dishes that are both familiar and exciting.
While the menu is deceivingly small, there are usually a few nightly specials to keep the menu fresh and unique. Start your meal with French Escargot a la Bourguignon, traditional French onion soup, or the house-made wild mushroom strudel.
Try the braised short rib bolognaise or the natural pork mignon for the main course. The vegetarian will enjoy the grilled vegetable wellington with basil tomato jus. The menu frequently changes based on what's in season. Freddie’s also offers a nightly chef’s special, like a Kurobuta port chop with morel cream sauce or a creamy seafood and wild mushroom risotto with shrimp, scallops, and mussels.
For dessert, save room for the French-style dark chocolate mousse or the Tahitian vanilla bean crème brulee. The menu changes so other delicious options might include apple tart Normandy or chocolate croissant bread pudding.
In addition to its delectable menu, Freddie’s Kitchen offers a carefully curated selection of wines and craft cocktails. Chef Freddie loves to pair wines and seek new tastes. Whether you're in the mood for a crisp white wine to complement your seafood dish or a robust red to pair with a pork chop, the knowledgeable staff is more than happy to assist you in finding the perfect libation.
