I've been to three other Friedman's, but solely for breakfast. It was a treat to discover that dinner is also very high quality, and the service friendly and helpful as ever.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years, and every single visit reminds me why I keep coming back: the food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is warm, and the staff is genuinely kind and hardworking.
I was actually present earlier today during the situation mentioned in a recent negative review — apparently an individual named Yagmurlu. What that review leaves out is that the staff — including the manager, who is always nothing but professional...

Good food but disappointing service. Our server, Tseten, was extremely slow and unprofessional. I asked for a coffee refill — after a long wait, it finally arrived in a plastic to-go cup instead of a proper mug. I asked specifically for cream, but the second time they brought milk. Even the checkout process felt messy and amateur. The kitchen does a great job, but the service needs serious improvement
