It’s painful going back and reading a lot of the reviews I wrote when we started The Infatuation. Freemans was one of my first stabs at a restaurant review. There was nothing Immaculate about my writing skills back then.
Although it’s lost a little of its luster recently, we still love Freemans. It ranks among our favorite restaurants of all time. We’ve got a lot of history here, and the food, although not 9.0 worthy as it was back when we started this site, is still really damn good. The artichoke dip is incredible, and the filet is just as awesome as you remember it. Yes, the whole rustic looking, upstate feeling, flannel wearing, bourbon drinking vibe Freemans nailed is often imitated, but it is never truly replicated. Bastard children of Lord Freeman pop up everywhere, and apparently even being a bus boy here qualifies you to go open a place of your own.
Freemans has been a key player in the restaurant renaissance we’re currently living in. It may not be a ‘secret’ anymore, but this remains one of Manhattan’s elite dining experiences. And to us, it will always be worth the two-hour wait. Do people still wait that long to eat here?
