Fregata Restaurant — Restaurant in Mississauga

I started dancing here Thursday nights 11 years ago. As a dance venue Thursday nights are Latin. Salsa Cumbia Bachata. It's a small hard tile dancefloor, not a good floor so many serious dancers don't dance there. But there are good dancers there, regulars. The music has always been excellent.

Maria teaches a class around 930pm, social dancing begins shortly after 10pm.

Fregata is a Polish restaurant. The food is good. The staff run a tight ship and the management are serious. Grudgingly polite. Customer service is not their strong suit.

The vibe of the people there is always friendly, a lot of people have been dancing here Thursday nights for years. Some groups of ladies come looking to enjoy and dance. So lots of ladies who want to dance.

Although it's a dancing venue many people also come just to enjoy the vibe, some lookey lou's and guys looking to meet ladies. Some couples come to dance but generally people change partners all night. So very inclusive if you want to dance...

I live very close so I've started to dance here again. But I don't like the floor and many ppl are beginners; wear jewelry, don't know basics or etiquette. Butt I've learned some valuable lessons here from true Latin dancers here over the years, was introduced to cumbia here and now have many friends and friendly faces who make mb time...

Went for our anniversary. Arrived on time Friday night to find the place closed due to multiple cancellations because of a surprise snow storm. They should have called to let us know, but probably assumed no one would show up at all. Booked the next night, and it wasn't extremely busy, so that still worked for us. The staff was courteous and attentive, and our requests were answered quickly. The wine and appetizer suggestions by our server Vicky were really good. The main course was OK, not Michelin quality, but still made for a nice dinner. Finally, we chose Fregata because of their music and dance after 9 pm, and because we came early and ordered dinner, we didn't have to pay the entry fee for the entertainment part. The crowd were nice and of similar age to us (we're in our 50's) and that made us comfortable and we enjoyed dancing. The tunes were somewhat repetitive though. After 10 pm, the crowd grew and became too loud, so that was it for us and we left at 10:30. The entertainment is why we wanted to try Fregata as a new experience, since we didn't want to go to a night club with younger but possibly more rowdy guests, and the place was good, but maybe we were...

Very disappointed with the service and customer service!

Made reservations for dinner for a group of friends to celebrate my wife's birthday.

We were seated for over and hour trying to get the attention of a waiter who kept ignoring us after making eye contact and signal he would come to our table. We saw him serving other tables but not coming to ours. I finally went to look for him and found him by the bar/kitchen entrance. Then he informed he could only serv us drinks & couldn't take food orders because the kitchen was too busy (although we saw people dining all around us).

When I went to talk to the manager he just told me they had a large group and confirmed we were not going to be served dinner. We could stay for drinks and dancing if we wanted to 😠. As we were leaving it became clear they were trying to get rid of us as they needed our table for the larger group.

It is too bad. My wife and I, along with many friends have been celebrating birthdays and get together occasions there for years and even recommend the place before. I hope that large group continues to frequent their place as often as we did because our group won't...
