About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Vegan-friendly

Freya is a multi-course dinner restaurant focused on executing the points of service at upper echelon restaurants in larger markets while ditching the pomp and circumstance traditions that make regular people feel out of place. The last several years have been extremely challenging for most people. We feel strongly that great food, great drinks, and great hospitality are things everyone deserves. Especially you.

We offer a multi course menu and can accommodate the following diets: Omnivore (no dietary restrictions), Pescatarian (vegetarian + seafood), or vegan (no animal products used). With notice, we’re also able to modify many items to be gluten-free. We respectfully ask that further modification requests only be made in cases of serious allergies; we may not be able to accommodate certain dietary restrictions

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Doug Hewitt

From the OpenTable editors: A 2022 New York Times pick for the 50 most exciting restaurants in America, Freya is the place to be for a wildly creative fine-dining experience that feels casual and unpretentious. Executive chef Douglas Hewitt leads a super collaborative team that creates the seasonal menu in unison in the open kitchen. You might find a buñuelo dotted with caviar or lobster tangled in pea tendrils and immediately feel compelled to return so you can discover the latest adds to the menu.

Our food was phenomenal. We appreciated the unique ingredient pairings and some fresh items on the menu we don’t see elsewhere. We did a 5 course meal and each of us got to choose a different dish (normally, guests have to choose the same item). It gave us the opportunity to explore the menu and have a more adventurous experience. Staff was polite and informative however they seemed somewhat new - with time, they’ll build confidence to always deliver a smooth experience. The dessert has room for improvement. The cocoa sorbet was hard as a rock that I couldn’t enjoy it. If they eliminated the sorbet and just focused on the almond crunch and light meringue… it would have been absolutely perfect. We recommend the jerk sweet potato, tartare and sea bass.

Came here for our anniversary. I couldn't say enough good things. There is nothing I would change. The staff was incredible. The space was so inviting and cozy even though it was large. We did the nine course tasty menu. I felt so bad that some of the courses I could not finish because I wanted to save room...I was looking forward to what was coming next. ♡ every course was so thought out .. the creativity and thought that went into every dish was truly an amazing experience. It's so hard to find a restaurant that gives the whole experience.. this was , we are already looking forward to coming back.

Well….. Maybe we just aren't fine diners…. Or this experience compared to other tasting menus we've been to was just a little different.… Overall everything we received tasted very good… yummy! just took forever…. We were hungry… for the price… small portion sizes and too attentive… less on the “experience” and more on the food. Again…. It might be us but for what we paid for the 4 of us and what we experienced…. Little off.
