"The Restaurant at Albert Hotel is a fine-ish dining restaurant with an elaborate menu that honors Fredericksburg’s German origins. It’s a lively place to celebrate with friends over a group dinner, or to decompress from the day and people-watch at its 360° bar. From starters to main courses and sides, its dishes build upon one another in savory harmony. Order the lamb tartare to kick things off, and round it out with the venison schnitzel. Here's a highly recommended hack we picked up from the waitstaff, if you’re feeling particularly casual: dip a side of beef tallow fries in an order of whipped mashed potatoes—you won’t regret it." - samantha grasso
