We found the food to be very bland. It was also very noisy inside. The best part of the experience was our waitress. She was very attentive and friendly.

Great vibe. Fast and efficient service. Even though it was very busy when I arrived and I was dining alone, the staff kept checking back that I had everything I needed. Would definitely go again.

Great location, great wine, an d 100% exceptional service! Fred's Bar is friendly, great atmosphere feeling chilled but due to the lighting it has delicate dining feel to it! Will def's head back there with Clients. Its hard to come across great customer service these days, however you will have no issue with Fred's! Top Notch!

Un-fussed but fresh. The service was efficient but not intrusive. Water was topped up regularly without asking. This is a great little bar in a great spot where you can grab a good meal.

Good food for a mid range lunch. Tables are a litttle small and bench seats are uncomfotable unless you are 6 feet tall. Good city lunch place with friends.

Good food with an outstanding wine list and pleasant service. The plat du jour is always great value and there are relative bargains to be found by the bottle. Shall be a frequent visitor.

The service here is pretty bad. I asked for a straw for my drink - it never came. I asked for no tomato in my burger and when it arrived it was full of tomato so I asked that they remove it and they brought it back with some tomato gone but some still in the burger. This meant I had to dig through the avocado with my hands to remove the tomato. Wouldn't want to be allergic to anything :/ I ordered a dessert and coffee to have together - the coffee didn't arrive until well after the desert because the order didn't go through. It was just a big hassle. The food and drinks were all really good it's just a shame about how disorganised they are.

We had a great dinner at Fred s . It was a pre theatre drinks and dinner. The service was courteous and efficient. The food was delicious. Fred's Bar set up a great night for us. It's also in a great location close to Sydney Opera House and public transport.

Great venue for an informal business catch up or lunch. We had the Nicoise and the chicken salads - which were healthy and delicious, a wide selection of wine by the glass and good coffee!

Excellent service from a pleasant and helpful staff. Menu of uncomplicated selections of good quality cuisine. House wine is acceptable, however, an adequate selection for those of us with discerning tastes.

The atmosphere was good, the food was quite good but portion sizes were not generous. Wines are a bit overpriced...we paid $80 per bottle and we all had a headache next morning (had about 3 glasses each so not overboard).

Very good food at a reasonable price, and an extensive wine list. Not the first time I've taken prospective clients here, and definitely won't be the last. Two thumbs up.

Went with a voucher prior to catching a performance at the Opera House. Service was friendly and swift. The food was delicious : we had scallops & kingfish as entree and then lamp and the seafood fettucine for mains. Both selections were excellent and I will be back next time I have a show to attend at the Opera house.

Food was good. Service was ok. Price was reasonable. Hard to understand some staff - English second language which is not a problem just a bit of a barrier with heavy accent and not a great grasp of English.

The food was lovely. Service was good. Personally don't like high tables with high chairs. I think there were low tables and chairs inside so if you decide to go to Freds ask for inside and low table if this is what you also prefer to sit at.

Lovely service always and a great place for a tasty light meal (salads and burgers) or something a bit more substantial with a drink if you're in the mood and you can finish with a good coffee.

Great food, and the staff are excellent and always friendly, and on the ball. A great bar/restaurant. Also Fred himself is always around, helpful and friendly. A warm welcome for a city bar is unusual.
