I'm a huge fan of Lee but for some reason avoided going to Frings because I thought it would be overrated and attract a pretentious crowd. Was I ever wrong. The meal that I had at Frings was by far the best I've had in years. I went with a group of 6 and we ordered the tasting menu for $75 a person. The waitress asked what items appealed to us and what price point we wanted to stay at (tasting menu ranges from $75 to $95).
Service: 5/5
Price - 5/5 It's pricy but I didn't feel ripped off. If came to about $330 per couple including the tip.
Ambience - 4/5
Food - Honestly, every dish was incredible
Here's what we ordered. Everything was so good I can't pick a favourite. I recommend everything below!
-Kale salad (even my boyfriend who hates kale loved it)
- beet and burrata salad
- beef carpaccio
- salmon tataki in ponzu sauce (wow the sauce was unreal)
- bao chicken sliders (maybe my favourite...it was like a fancy more delicious mcchicken)
- short rib tacos (we ordered these on top of the tasting menu... delicious short ribs in a fried wonton taco)
- cheeseburger spring roll (very unique dish so order it while you are here)
- gnocchi (perfectly cooked and the sauce was excellent)
- truffle fries
- asparagus
- braised short ribs with mashed potatoes (probably my favourite of the night)
- fried chicken and Asian waffle (I was too full by this point to have more than a bite but everyone else raved about it)
- bread pudding for dessert (yummy but I was too full to enjoy and would like to try the monkey bread next time.
We also had the sangria. They make it for you at your table. It was a special experience and delicious. We also enjoyed a few bottles of red wine. Excellent selection at different price points.
I'll definitely be back! I was blown away by the experience!
