The Restaurant at Albert

The Restaurant at the Albert Hotel delivers exceptional dining that elevates Hill Country cuisine to new heights. The venison schnitzel was expertly prepared with a crispy coating and perfectly seasoned. The spätzle was cooked to perfection, beautifully marrying European technique with local Texas ingredients. The real show stopper? The cream collards. Rich, velvety, and bursting with flavor – this dish completely redefined my expectations for collard greens. Absolutely phenomenal. Our server Anne was outstanding. Her menu knowledge was impressive, recommendations spot-on, and she struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without being intrusive. She made our dining experience truly special. The Restaurant at the Albert Hotel has earned its place among Texas's finest dining establishments. Destination-worthy cuisine that showcases the best of the Hill Country. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Friends, my husband, and I had an incredible dining experience at Albert! The Wagyu ribeye was absolutely amazing - so juicy and flavorful. While I was hoping for something beyond just Texas Wagyu, it was still an incredibly delicious cut of meat. The sides were just as impressive; both the fries and mashed potatoes were unbelievably good. And the drinks? Simply perfect. The espresso martinis were my favorite - rich, smooth, and expertly crafted. If you’re looking for a spot with top-tier food and drinks/ fancy dinner in Fredericksburg, Albert is the one. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back. 🥰👏🏽

Had an amazing brunch at The Albert! We ordered the steak and eggs and the avocado toast—both were phenomenal. Big shoutout to Samuel, who was incredibly attentive, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to be back!

I went for brunch before noon, was seated inside, it was dirty crumbs and fries on bench and under the table. Ordered a sandwich it mostly had cabbage and cheese barely any meat the meat had an odd flavor and fries were cold. Overall the food not good, the waiter was nice but he was the only one working inside and outside.

Place is very nice, Menu looks good and the drinks too! Recommending to check it out yourself. Stop at the Bar, ask for Frank or Patrick, they'll create you something fun and elegant!

A+ all around! Chef Michael Fojtasek ribeye and winter salad were to die for! A perfect blend of flavors that melt in your mouth! The mushroom appetizer is a must-have also! The smoked mushrooms and grits were a wonderful surprise! We also got the coconut cake, so moist and delicious! Steven was our waiter he was funny and served us perfectly! The food and beverage manager (John) was awesome also! He came by and introduced himself! Everyone was so kind, and the service was excellent! Thank you, everyone!

Had a lovely lunch on the patio this afternoon and had a great experience. Emily was my server and she was absolutely lovely. She is well versed on both the drink and food menus. I decided on the Albert Salad per her recommendation and it was just what I needed! Overall attentive staff, tasty food, and cool atmosphere.

Patrick from Germany was the best! He was so fun and made great drinks! We had such a great time and he made us laugh. Give this guy a raise…totally funny and really great service. We love him and will come back again and again.

Simply named The Restaurant is not worthy of this fabulous dining room. This undoubtedly was one of the best meals Suzie and I have had in many months. Don't let the thought of, well this is just a hotel restaurant, unassumingly in the lobby bar area of the new Albert Hotel. Big Whoop. I'm here to tell you Friday PM, this was massive. We made reso's for 6.30pm and were seated promptly and Eric our server greeted us with a big smile and we got stuck in. Asked re allergies, Suzie has a shell fish one, noted. We looked at the menu while we finished our drinks we brought from the bar, no issue there. We wanted to try a couple of appy's and entree's. I spied this Quail Cushion thing $22 served on Black Rice with Jus. I asked if this was difficult to eat in order to share and Eric let me know it cuts like butter. We added the Smoked Mushrooms, Enchanted Mushroom gravy, yellow grits, chive. $25. Ok, just get this. Srsly, this is excellent. Lightly smoked mushrooms and a full body mushroom sauce shares the beautiful dinner ware with the creamy yellow grits. Chives adds colour and small crunch. It was just perfect combination of flavors/textures. The Quail was redonkulous. What I mean by that is the bones have generally been removed and you just cut it in half and snarf like it was a quail/chicken meat ball. The little legs were meat tootsie pops. Delicious, complex and i wanted another one immediately. It was so cute when it came out. We moved on to our dinner entree's. VENISON SCHNITZEL cabbage, caraway, mushroom demi-glace for me $42 and the Suz, LAMB horseradish cream, kohlrabi, mint $60. The Venison Schnit was a riff on schnit's I have enjoyed in Vienna before. In F-Burg you can get Schnit's in various places, but not like this little meat pancake. The Venison is locally sourced of course and isn't the size of a skillet, like places tend to serve. Nicely cooked and placed on top of a well prepared, light vinergary red cabbage and topped with a mushroom demi-glace. Caraway can be a powerful spice, but when used properly you get a lighter, sharper, slightly licorice-like flavor that blends very well with the Mushroom demi-glace. Loved it, licked the plate kind of thing. Lamb for Suzie is a challenge. However, she found the lamb to be delicious. Now, you need to hunker down with this and eat the little lamb on the bone bits with your hands. The outer edge was every so slightly Med Well but when eaten down to the bone, perfect. Kohlrabi is a vegetable, sometimes called German turnip or turnip cabbage. I like turnips personally and being in Fredericksburg, why not have it with lamb and a very british mint sauce. She found it a great pairing with the lamb. I agree since I snagged one of the little choppy lamby bits to try as well. We choose a simple side with our entree's and that was the CREAMED RICE Carolina Gold, Fredericksburg flowers $12. A warm, cozy, southern comfort rice dish, with the all the buttery consistency in your face. Perfect for the mushroom gravy of my dish and Suzie's lamb. It's actually listed as an appetizer, but fits here. Eric brought me an excellent bottle of Pinot Grigio and not the most expensive one either. It clocked in at $40 and I took the rest of the bottle up to our room afterwards. We didn't want to leave so we opted to tuck into dessert as well. What a trip that was. It looked like something from a cartoon when it arrived. SEMIFREDDO, Brut frozen custard, citrus pistachio cake, raspberry $14. The raspberry was actually foam. I hate foam. However, this was much more dense, packed with tangy raspberry flavor, crunchy bits of num nums on top and was again, a great balance with the pistachio cake and custard. Custard was frozen, so think ice cream texture here. I dunno peeps. Do I eat here again. Absolutely, 100%. Would I drive from my home in Oak Hill, just to dine here.. you know I would. Is it the best meal I have eaten in F-Burg, without a doubt. You add a great meal with a knowledgeable professional server who knows when to check in, when to not bother you and intrinsically knows when you need something. It's everything you could hope for.

In short the staff was wonderful but the food is not up to par for the price point (the French toast was $20 and only two small slices). I wanted this to be good after seeing multiple "influencer" reviews of the property and restaurant but it just didn't live up to the experience of a luxury, high end restaurant. That being said it's new so I'm sure they are still working through some things. I ordered the burger which had caramelized onions, cheese, and crunchy onions medium rare. The burger was bland with almost no flavor whatsoever. While the fries were crunchy, they were cold and clearly not fresh. The table also had avocado toast which appears to have been squirted out of a bag and not freshly made. In my opinion the price point should be reduced by 35-40% for the food we received. That being said, the staff was welcoming and friendly and very accommodating and the building is gorgeous. Adjust the price point or food and this would be a 5 star experience.

I took my wife here for her Birthday. We had brunch. We had steak and eggs and they were decent. I couldn't get over how bad the service was from our particular waitress (Eliana H). I get if it was busy but there was no one else at brunch. It seems like they are still trying to figure things out. Definitely wouldn't come back again because of the service.

10/10 dining experience! Their dinner menu is delicious and unique. Service was great as well and gave us good recommendations -- like the mushroom appetizer which was soooo good! Go there for dinner AND breakfast -- their croissant was so fluffy and the yogurt was amazing.

Wow, I will be completely honest. This is very likely the best food I have ever had in my life. EVERYTHING was just wonderful. The beef tallow French fries were completely unbelievable, and my steak was beautiful- cooked perfectly, and garnished like a piece of art. Devin was very friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I will make every effort to come here again! Just wonderful.

Entree was really mediocre at best but the desserts, coconut cake & semifreddo, were fantastic.

My wife has been wanting to try this restaurant and we finally did today for brunch. It was pretty underwhelming. The menu is very limited and it took FOREVER to get our food. It wasn't busy at all, so no idea why it was so slow. It's also very overpriced. Brunch was almost $200 for two adults and 2 kids. Be careful because they serve your drinks (non alcoholic) in about 6oz glasses and apparently charge for refills.
