I generally am not one to write reviews, but Freya deserves one. My wife and I went out for our first date since our baby was born as a celebration and we chose Freya as our venue. My wife has a significant dairy allergy, she’s allergic to dairy protein and will be sick for days if she consumes it, so finding a tasting restaurant with a vegan option for every course was extremely appealing to us because we knew she could safely eat. To briefly summarize I’ll just say that this was the best dining experience my wife and I have ever had. The service was unparalleled and the food was some of the best I’ve ever had. Any time you got up to use the restroom, you came back to a folder napkin. Anytime my wife came back a server also came to pull out her chair. They knew we were celebrating our baby’s birth and congratulated us several times, started our evening off with a toast and even some of the waitresses deeply complimented my wife and made her feel so confident and seen. Regarding the food, we’ve only been to one other tasting restaurant, which entirely vegan, out in Portland, Oregon and this meal significantly outclassed it. The first bite of each course was purely joyful, almost like the feeling of taking the first bite of a nostalgic childhood meal you haven’t had in a long time. The flavors were incredible and complex, yet clear and distinct. Their menu shifts, but I was able to have their grilled octopus and it was probably my favorite dish throughout my lifetime this far, truly was that good. My wife had similar experiences with their vegan menu, each course seemed to best the previous one.

I could go on in showering compliments, but all I can say is that I highly recommend this establishment. For anyone this would be an amazing experience, but if you have an allergy then this is probably one of the best places to go. It was clear they put a lot of attention to detail regarding their guests and their allergies and were extremely accommodating. There was never a moment of concern that my wife was going to consume something unsafe for her, which made the time all the more fun and relaxing.
