I’m a native New Yorker, but was visiting Hell’s Kitchen as a tourist with my husband after our wedding.<br><br>Dutch Fred’s was the first restaurant we visited as newlyweds, and the team made the experience feel incredibly special. They welcomed us with champagne, provided wonderful service, and served delicious food.<br><br>It was the perfect way to begin our post-wedding celebrations, and we will certainly be back on our next trip to New York!

Response from the owner

Congratulations on your wedding — we're delighted you chose us, Leila. Thank you for the lovely review; we look forward to welcoming you both back!

We had such a fabulous event at Dutch Fred’s. From the planning to the night itself, everything came together beautifully.<br><br>Marisa Weise was wonderful to work with, helpful, responsive, and thoughtful about making the event work for our group of about 35 people. The space had great energy and it was the perfect spot for a pre-theater gathering.<br><br>A huge thank you to Angel, our server, who was truly fantastic. He took such good care of everyone, kept things moving, and made the evening feel easy and fun.<br><br>Our guests had a great time, and we were so happy with the experience. Dutch Fred’s made our celebration feel special, and we would absolutely come back.

Response from the owner

One of my favorite spots at Hell’s Kitchen. I usually come here before or after any Broadway show. Mayelah is such an amazing host, she’s nice and always with a smile, warm welcoming, I really value a warm welcoming. Melissa definitely my top server in whole Manhattan, efficient and enjoyable. David at the bar my favorite mixologist, he has the perfect mezcalita mix that I love.<br>Food is great, my fav will always be the smash burger with truffle fries.<br>Good spot for a date, or even a private party.

Response from the owner

Karen, thank you for the wonderful review — we’re delighted Mayelah, Melissa and David made your visits special. We look forward to your next smash burger and mezcalita.

I found this place by accident while walking around the city and from the very first impression I really liked the vibe here with lots of christmas decorations and an amazing playlist. The people who work here, David and Ryan are just wonderful. They are attentive to people and make your stay at the bar very welcoming. Eggplant chips are super tasty!

I’ve been going to Dutch Fred’s since 2016, and it’s always been a fantastic spot in Hell’s Kitchen, perfect for unwinding after work or meeting up with friends.<br><br>The current cocktail selection is awesome, with creative, well-crafted drinks that never disappoint and keep me coming back for new favorites. The food also never disappoints. I’ll recommend the steak sandwich.<br><br>The staff is incredibly helpful and goes above and beyond every time. Special shoutout to Angel, the host on our recent Wednesday evening visit, who made our night extra special with his warm welcome!<br>Highly recommend.

I absolutely love the Dutch Fred’s. It’s very close to my job, and the atmosphere is always so much fun.<br><br>First of all, Angel, the host, is amazing. Last night was extremely busy, and I was worried we wouldn’t get a spot because I had friends visiting from Florida and had recommended this bar to them. I asked Angel if he could take care of us, and he truly went above and beyond—so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Thanks to him, we were seated quickly without much waiting. Angel is truly the best.<br><br>Our first waitress, Ashley (I hope I got her name right), was absolutely adorable and gave wonderful menu recommendations. We really enjoyed both the “big bites” and “small bites”—such a cute and fun concept. I also tried a mocktail called She Spicy, which was fantastic.<br><br>We stayed for quite a while and truly enjoyed our table. When Ashley’s shift ended, Gaby (again, I hope I got the name right) took over, and she was just as wonderful—so fun, attentive, and always right on time whenever we needed anything. Very impressive service.<br><br>I genuinely enjoyed this last-minute night out. Thank you to everyone who worked that evening for your hard work and excellent service. I will definitely be back.

Response from the owner

Thank you for your kind words, Penelope. We're delighted you enjoyed your visit to Dutch Fred's and appreciate your compliments to our staff. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

So happy we popped in because the sign caught our eyes. Ryan was a great bartender, he made our experience absolutely wonderful. Drinks were on point; ordered the Espresso Yourself, the El Jardin, and the Paradise Found (last two a must, if you’re a Mezcal fan like myself); all perfection. Steak sandwich CANNOT be touched; ate it so fast I couldn’t get a photo. Will definitely be visiting again.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Laila, for your generous review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the drinks and the steak sandwich at Dutch Fred's. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
