Great room, good service, and ridiculously large servings highlighted my visit to Fremin's. The space itself is historic and beautiful, with a nice tin ceiling and dark wood. The place was busy, but did not seem crowded.
Our server was attentive and pleasant. He did ask (the only time I have ever been asked this), "One check or two?" at the end of the meal. Odd.
My crab appetizer was so rich that I felt the need to take a break during its consumption: cheese, crab in sauce, breadcrumbs, and three huge chunks of bland garlic bread. Bread is really big here; a small loaf was brought out before the appetizers, the crumbs and chunks mentioned, and the breading in the entree will allow you to starch your clothes from the inside.
By the time the entree arrived, I was already stuffed due to the carbs and fat from the appetizer. The "Stuffed Shrimp" was actually a large plate of four very bready shrimp boulettes and four large pieces of steamed broccoli over a pile of overcooked, not-very-good pasta.
Our other entree was a spinach salad, served with a boat of bacon dressing; when poured over the greens, the dressing covered them with bacon fat and large pieces of crisp bacon. We gave up and left with the largest doggie bag I have ever carried.
Flavors were good throughout, although the meal would have been much better without the cream, bread, butter, bread, cheese, fat, bread, etc. that smothered everything. I would try Fremin's again, but would get light fare.
If they have any.
