“Promptly greeted by host Johanna. She accommodated our request to move to an outdoor table. Then server Jasmin nicely greeted each person at the table and answered all of our questions. She was prompt with our bar drinks and very attentive to our requests. Our food served at the perfect temperature; clam chowder soups, rice bowls, and jalapeno bomb burger. We asked jasmin for dessert recommendation and she suggested the cheesecake and excellent choice! We will definitely dine at Fred and Ethel’s again for the outstanding dining experience!“

Our waitress was exceptional, she shared great recommendations, explained how her favorite dishes were prepared, and went out of her way to get us an updated beer list.

“Highly recommend, 10/10!! beautiful spot on the docks, great opportunity to see lots of boats. it was empty when we showed up (very early season, chilly march day) which was so peaceful. food is delicious, the patty melt blew my mind, my grandmas club looked like a stock photo, fries are perfect, no salt/condiments needed, and the bucket drinks are worth it!! Bartender guy(?) that served us was cute, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. thanks for having us!! 😊“
