I was worried I wouldn't get a seat since I didn't have a reservation. The place is TINY. However, I got a seat within 10 minutes. The food was amazing with very generous portions. The atmosphere was very unique and the wine was delicious. (BYOB) Take the time to make a reservation but be sure not to miss this place... More

Freda's Cafe is a lovely small restaurant just off the Washington Square Mall. It is nicely decorated and has a warm, cozy feel to it. We were a group of three and were seated at the center of a long table; one couple joined us at each end. We got talking with one of the couples, who were locals, and... More

We stopped in for lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Pretty good service, kind of off the beaten path from the main washington mall passway. The food was very good! Fresh ingredients!

Delicious! We visited Cape May for the first time and I am glad we had dinner at Freda's. The dinner alone would make us consider Cape May again. The place is small, quaint, with a hodge podge of decor. It's BYOB, which we didn't know until arriving, our waitress was great about providing directions to the closest liquor store &... More

Our party of seven waited on a cold Monday night for reservation. Due to the great food and friendly service it was easy to see why people were in no hurry to leave. Although the dining room is small, the quality of the food was huge! Our waitress, Cathy was friendly and efficient. The two for one Monday night was... More

Everone here knows of the special Monday night 2 for 1 entree and it is shortly worth the effort of coming ! The food is gourmet quality and you have quite a few choices on the menu! They also have lamb entree that is worth making a reservation! The restaurant fits about 35 -40 people.. Parking available.. Reservations necessary. Enjoy!

My wife and I have visited many times and have never been disappointed. Great bisque, crab cakes and complimentary spring salad but save space for homemade desserts.

Appetizer, entree and OMG the desert were all incredible. Definitely dine here no matter what. Service was great - friendly and attentive without being intrusive or pushy. Everything is scrumptious 👍
