Harry's Sidecar — Restaurant in Fredericksburg

This is an upscale restaurant and a nice place for a slower paced meal. It’s great for a couple’s night out. It’s actually adults only. The atmosphere is elegant, but you should realize this is a very small restaurant. Definitely recommend reservations to guarantee your space.

Our food was tasty. The crab dip was outstanding. My steak came medium instead of medium rare as ordered, but my wife generously traded with me (she also ordered medium rare steak and it did come cooked medium rare). The chocolate truffle cake for dessert had lots of flavor. The waitress was also the bartender and was able to advise us about drinks.

We had a great experience eating here during Restaurant Week. As a pro tip, they mentioned they actually offer the Restaurant Week specials all of July to avoid the crowd rush.

Ok so I've been here twice. 1st visit we sat at the bar and had their espresso martini which was disgusting. Way too strong on the liquor side and the added cream made it even more gross. We then ordered some old fashions and they weren't right. We kept having to ask for more add ons to basically doctor it up to make it acceptable at the least. The 2nd time we went was last Saturday night (Sep 2nd) at 9:40pm, they close at 11pm. We open the door and walk in only to be greeted with "sorry folks we just called last call". An hour and 20 minutes before closing? Then I remembered my 1st visit, the bartender said and I quote "yea if it's not busy by a certain time we decide to close". Well good luck with that because now you're going to be known for closing early and people aren't going to bother. Definitely never going there again. Bad cocktails and...

My wife and I went there for Mother's day. We've been looking forward to eating here having passed it many times. The atmosphere is very inviting. Service and food, not so great.

We started with cocktails. My Old Fashioned was excellent. My wife's martini was horrible. It arrived green, and the first sip confirmed it was maybe a quarter olive juice. Undrinkable. We told the waitress and she said she'd tell the bartender. That's it, didn't offer a new one, nothing. My wife had to go to the bar and walk him through how to make one. Third try was acceptable.

We'd already ordered the nachos, so we waited, and waited, until they came. Cold. Minimal shredded cheese, and other toppings randomly scattered on top. No salsa. Pretty bad.

Luckily we hadn't ordered dinner, so we got our check and went to the Mellow...
