"Such a great day! We arrived when they opened at noon and enjoyed the most delicious martinis, garlic shrimp scampi, crab cakes and snow crab legs!!! The key lime pie was so delicious!!! We had Lemon Drop, Pear and Cucumber martinis! A wonderful summer luncheon! Perfect food for a beautiful day in FRED! We are coming back!!!! I forgot to mention the great Bloody Mary and spicy margarita my husband had along with his couple of beer hydration drinks 😃 Mia was our server and she was amazing!"

"We had such a great experience at Martini’s Seafood House! Tom was our bartender and server, and he was absolutely fantastic—so friendly, attentive, and you can tell he really enjoys what he does.
We started with the Rockefeller oysters, and they were amazing, make sure to add the squeeze of lemon for that perfect extra touch! For entrées, I had the surf and turf which was exceptional, and my partner had the tuna steak with an Asian flare that was so flavorful and delicious.
The cocktails were also a highlight—our cucumber martinis and mojitos were so refreshing and tasty.
Highly recommend Martini’s Seafood House and especially Tom for an unforgettable dining experience!"

"Killer place, quality food, awesome staff, great prices, where can one go wrong?
Nowhere!
Our server, Christian, was attentive, knowledgeable, and very personable.
Had a great time chatting with him and having an all around delightful evening.
My recommendation is to come early before the crowd hits so you can soak up the A/C (during the summer), the atmosphere and the libations.
Right off the main drag in downtown Fredericksburg this is a treat to not be missed.
Come early. Come often. Just come."

Where To Eat & Drink In Fredericksburg - Austin
As the only proper seafood joint off Main Street, Martini’s Seafood House is where to go when you’re willing to drop a little cash. Despite being a smaller old-school establishment with black-and-white photographs, stained wooden paneling, and pressed-tinplate ceiling tiles, Martini’s service and quality rival those of modern high-dollar seafood restaurants in Texas’ larger cities. The stripped-down yacht club vibe perfectly compliments the brine of the oysters and lemon-spritzed crab and lobster.
Tied for 11th: 5 more Fredericksburg restaurants to love
Martini’s is steeped in JFK imagery, swirling in a soundtrack of classic R&B, played in a space that feels like one of those pre-Prohibition speak-easy bars in that brief window of American culture when that was a thing. It’s still a thing here, where a chilled dirty martini shares the table with fresh East Coast and Gulf Coast oysters, followed by a lobster roll or crabcakes or a seafood boil with a high-five spread of snow crab, shrimp and sausage. The same owners carry the same vibe across town at their Italian steak place, Jack’s Chophouse.
