Customer Reviews
Fabulous spot for a fun dinner. We ordered their award winning she crab soup- it was delicious and super rich. I got the broiled seafood platter- it was excellent and a lot of food. My husband ordered the prime rib and it looked nicely done, too. We had cheesecake for dessert and it was really nice- not too sweet. We would come back here. And their old fashions were excellent!
Dined there last night (12/30) to celebrate an important milestone and this restaurant never disappoints. We didn’t have a reservation as it was last minute and I could see they were quite busy. I wasn’t able to do it last night but I would like to really commend our server who was also the bartender - he was just zooming in and out, tending to the bar and at the same time his tables. Despite all of that, he made our dining experience special. I also would like to rave about the scallop risotto which I ordered; the heart of palm and the dried/pickled peppers were an explosion of flavor combined with the grilled scallops. They all just blended together well with the risotto. Whenever I go, I would always try something different and every time, it was so good. I would always get the she crab
Freemason Abbey is an iconic local restaurant and any restaurant that's been in business over 35 years is bound to have a lot going for it. They have so much to offer with local favorites, seafood and pasta dishes and it's a wonderful place for brunch on the weekend. The prices are competitive, the restaurant is clean and the service very professional. I love the ambiance. Dining in a 19th century church makes your meal more of an event. Be advised this place can get very busy on the weekend so it's always best to call for a reservation. Like many restaurants today they seem to be a little short-staffed and that made service a little slow but our meal more leisurely. I highly recommend Freemason Abbey for your next special occasion or anytime you just want good food and a really great lo
Freemason Abbey has great food and even better service, according to my parents! We sent my parents to the restaurant for my mom’s birthday dinner, calling two weeks in advance. We wanted to make sure they could seat my mother and father in an area that’s wheelchair accessible since he uses a Permobil power chair. When I called, I spoke to a woman named Leslie who took our reservation. I checked in via email five days before their dinner date and Leslie replied and confirmed everything. They had my parents scheduled at the proper time, on the first floor, and noted that they needed room for a power chair. When my mom got there, they had a cute little card on the table that said “Happy Birthday.” Other guests even wished my mom a Happy Birthday as well. My parents said the food was reall
I've never heard of she crab soup, but it was incredible! Like a smooth, rich chowder. The seafood pasta was also expertly done, although I wouldn't add the extra crab for $5, the regular dish is plenty good. The cocktail flight was a little sweet for my taste, but still pretty good. Would recommend this place to anyone
