Food was excellent and so was the service. Luca took great care of us and explained the menu wonderfully. He kept us informed about each next course and helped with drink pairings. The food was nicely prepared and looked amazing. It was very flavorful and seasoned to perfection. Also, the portions were pretty decent for a fine dining restaurant. The duck confit was cooked perfectly and the cookies tasted fresh and home made. The only possible negative I could say would be the atmosphere. The restaurant is gorgeous but with the lack of sound deadening it get pretty loud and you find yourself almost yelling at your date. It doesn’t make for the most romantic experience but its still better than half the other restaurants in Fredericksburg in terms of food, ambiance, service and quality. Definitely give it a try. Be sure to make a reservation though. They get booked up.

On Wednesday, the soup was a beef and vegetable. I would have reduced the salt for my personal taste but it was a soup like one would find in any restaurant in France and perfectly fine.would love to have been here on Sunday to try their fried chicken. Today was grilled salmon day and Irene ordered it while I went with a Reuben to check out their bread.
The Reuben was superb. One of the best that I’ve ever had. Just perfect.
Salmon in a miso broth seemed smart as miso isn’t strong enough a flavor profile to compete with and thus, ruin, the salmon flavor profile. I have a thing about chefs who garnish a salmon (or just about anything) with bitter micro greens cause it looks pretty (that you bite into and they ruin the other more subtle flavors).
So miso seems a good choice as is white pepper for this dish.
The pistachio tiramisu was “interesting ”, but I wonder if they are using salted pistachios? If so, I note that this is a mistake. Switch to unsalted. Still, we did finish it between the two of us. But it was unpleasantly salty and I would recommend against it.
Weird that the restaurant focuses on non local wines (Europe and California) when Fredericksburg is in the heart of the Texas wine country. Are they saying that the local wines suck? You’d think they’d try to find and champion the best of the locals instead of wines easily available elsewhere.
A lot of times, when persons in the kitchen come from other cultures/countries, they may be trained to follow a recipe but may not necessarily have the culinary cultural map to know how to make minor adjustments before putting an entree out for consumption.

This place lived up to its food reviews. My daughters had Quiche both said delicious. The Phillip was cooked perfect n delicately. My Ruben sandwich was perfectly made. Marble bread was fresh n sliced perfect to allow bread to corn beef ratio come through. The corn beef was lean yet tender and flavorful and just right amount.
The only knock is there signature dishes (didn’t get so maybe unfair) because I saw it coming out and only 2 piece of chicken for $34 .. that’s too expensive . But if people buying it good for them.
An inviting atmosphere nice people watching. Service was attentive.

Terrific breakfast lunch place in the center of Fredericksburg. Beautiful surrounding and a nice selection of wines. Must try the Rueben sandwich..delish. My husband had the French dip and it was also very good.

Elegant restaurant and amazing food. Food taste fresh. I love the open concept kitchen because you can see the chefs cook. I love the music in background. Always has a bakery and wine shop. Professional staff

This restaurant was excellent. The braised beef with polenta was really great and I typically don’t like short rib. Brock our server was nice and was able to give good recommendations. I like the vibe and decor however the restaurant can get a little loud.

Lovely brunch at Vaudeville this weekend. Definitely recommend getting there early as it is very popular with limited seating. I expected the menu to have more brunch items but it really seemed like a lunch menu with very few breakfast items. However, the Sunday fried chicken special was delightful, and I’m glad we got it. The chicken was well-seasoned and crispy with very flavorful potatoes and greens on the side. They need to add a Bloody Mary to the brunch menu and take care of the fly problem downstairs but it certainly wasn’t keeping any guests away. The decor and atmosphere are elegant and tasteful making this a great option for your Fredericksburg getaway weekend. Cheers!

Fun place. Food was delicious. We went for dinner. Only access is stairs due to the historical nature of the building. Staff was super friendly, almost too much as everyone checked on everything. We highly recommend the all cheese charcuterie board.

This restaurant is arguably the fanciest restaurant in Fredericksburg, the closest thing to “fine dining” they have. However, this is Fredericksburg so don’t let that intimidate you – the restaurant is upscale but still affordable & easy enough to get a reservation at even on a holiday. There is no dress code, we had lunch here on Mother’s Day and saw plenty of shorts & sandals. It’s easily accessible from the main shopping district, once you arrive at the building just go down the stairs on the left – the restaurant itself is underground in the basement. Note that it is dark, moody lighting and loud but pleasant music. There is comfy bench seating and the service at the host stand was great, he found our reservation and walked us to our table quickly. Our waitress was a little slow and confused, definitely not fine dining table service but it was all fine. The menu selection for lunch was limited, one daily special and then just casual finger foods – sandwiches, pizza, salads and soups. They did have a vegetarian sandwich and pizza options which I really appreciated. Our appetizer was fine, we did the Mediterranean snack plate. I wish they had some higher end or trendier apps and sides or more hot fork and knife food options for lunch. Even adding fries to the menu would have been a big improvement. Overall none of the food was really impressive but the ambiance was worth it, considering the lack of upscale and luxury dining in Fredericksburg we will definitely be returning to try out dinner.

*dog friendly* beautiful little eatery (downstairs) with a cute lil shop on the first floor. The pork belly tacos are delicious and with the eggplant purée- wow! And for dessert the pistachio tiramisu is a must! Four stars because the service was not that great and our waitress definitely rushed us out.
