Chef Fredy's Table - Morristown

I have not eaten there as of 11-04-2023. When I have eaten there I will update. I did however work with Chef Fred'y several years ago. He impressed me back then.

It started off well; the server was polite and came to us for our appetizer order within 5 or 10 minutes. Another server then came over shortly afterward and was rather pushy about us ordering our entrees. He kept trying to push me to ask what I was deciding between and I was trying give a subltle hint that we weren't ready. He stormed off. We then waited for over an hour before having to call the original server over to order; and experienced the full attitude. I guess they decided to punish me for wanting to have an unrushed experience at their establishment. They could not hide their discontent. As a former manager, server, bartender and catering manager for almost 15 years, I know the type. The phony smile, the curt and dismissive tone everything. It's the common thread they think they know everything and have no patience for people. I still left a substantial tip because I'm not petty; and I understand how difficult the job can be. But I also know that I left the business because I could no longer be the kind of person I wanted to be; polite! The food was fantastic but the service, collectively was not pleasant. Even the busboys seem to be influenced by them, to their detriment. They could not even manage to be nice either. I'd never go back and I will not recommend it to anyone. No meal is ever good enough to sacrifice your dignity. So I reluctantly cannot recommend dining here, only due to the unwelcoming collective attitude from the front of the house.

I ended up at Chef Fredy's because I was staying at the Hyatt across the street. I went in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday. I was starving and didn't realize it was on the fancier side. I arrived in my sweatpants and was out of place, but they didn't kick me out. There were a couple large groups there. I was seated right away. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I ordered the blood orange salad with crab cake. It took quite some time to come out of the kitchen but once I finally got it, it was super good. I would definitely come here again (without sweatpants next time).

Great food, service for a reasonable price for Morristown. Most importantly BYOB. Loved it. Waiter was friendly and personable. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
