In contrast to other reviewers, I didn't have a problem with the service at Fressen. Maybe that's because the restaurant was not crowded when I ate (around 9:30 on a Thursday night) or maybe Fressen has made an effort to improve its service. Although the service was good, the food was disappointing. I enjoyed the coconut-based soup, but my dish of cubed beets mixed with greens was too sweet and the balls of spiced lentils were drowning in oil. In addition, my friend's sweet potato tart was charred (to the point of inedible) on the bottom.
