  This is my 4th visit to the Albert, 1st for lunch. I was looking forward to seeing if things (attitude of servers, service, timeliness, quality, etc.) had improved since my last visit. When we were seated at about 12:00, there was no one at the bar and one other table at the outdoor area. I loved the fact they had a limited lunch menu. My thought with a limited menu is that what they offer will be well executed. Everything offered sounded promising, but the 4 of us all decided to go with the Puffed Quinoa Salad with Chicken. When we ordered, our waitress asked if we wanted to add any protein, like chicken to the salad. My friend replied that the menu stated that chicken was a part of the salad. The waitress responded, “Oh, I have never had it so I didn’t know”. When the salads did arrive, they looked lovely, but we moved the greens around looking for the much anticipated Puffed Quinoa…not to be found. The waitress did not return to the table for a bit, so I went in to the restaurant/bar to inquire. The “assistance” I received from the bartender is for another review, another day. A bit later, a manager came out and told us that, although they were working to update the menu, there was no Puffed Quinoa in the Puffed Quinoa Salad, but was there something else he could do to “elevate” our salad experience. We just all simply looked at him. He did tell us he was going to give us a 10% discount (seriously) on our Puffed Quinoa Salads and we were to rest assured, they were working on updating the menu. I could go on, but suffice it to say, The Albert has yet to hit their stride. As a local, who often gets asked where to go in town, I continue to not be able to recommend anything at The Albert.

  PRICE AND QUALITY DO NOT MATCH! Disappointing experience at The Albert Restaurant. High prices for mediocre service, food, and atmosphere. NOT AN UPSCALE PLACE! I booked a table to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Our reservation was late in the evening, and in Fredericksburg most places close early on Sundays. We arrived on time and placed our order. Ten minutes later, the server returned to inform us they were out of the ribeye steak. My husband chose another dish. Despite the fact that the kitchen was about to close, the server didn’t place the new order right away — instead, she went on to chat with other tables. While waiting for the main course, we received our Brussels sprouts, which tasted awful. We ended up canceling the entire order. The manager comped two drinks and the sprouts, but my husband’s birthday dinner was completely ruined and other places were already closed!

  Avoid, avoid, & avoid—ridiculously small hummus appetizer served after 30 minutes of waiting. In between we tried to order a local wine. After 20 minutes the waitress said, “sorry we are out of it.” Selected another local wine, ten minutes later, the same thing. We then opted to stay with water. Five minutes later some manager showed up with all kinds of lofty apologies. After sharing the hummus and waiting for another 18 minutes for our main dish, we had enough, paid, and left Down the road are dozens of good and less pricey alternatives. What a scam, that restaurant!

  My wife and I came down here for the first leg of our honeymoon. Zoe N. greeted us our first night with a bottle of champagne out of the blue and surprised both my wife and I. She was such a warm and loving individual to open the door to. The following day we decided to eat dinner at the restaurant and Zoe ended up being out hostess and ultimately our server. I do not know how her boss is but this young woman either needs to be promoted or given a raise. She is going place and needs to be treated as such.

  Horrible Service!!! The bar was basically empty and the bartender ignored us to serve a couple that walked up after us despite that we had waited 5 minutes for him to finish with the couple he was helping. He had to walk past us to get to the new couple and couldn’t spare us a “be right with you” or a “thank you for your patience” when he finally did acknowledge us. Avoid!!
