About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Lively
Fraiche (French for Fresh) is a fresh take on culinary fusion with inspiration from multiple cultures (including French, Cajun/Southern American, and Caribbean). This is also a fresh take on the historic architecture of the venue, which was once a theater.

Fraiche is designed to be a non-pretentious culinary destination with a nod to upscale dining without the stuffiness. The menu is constructed in a way that takes approachable and recognizable food and elevates it, with no flavor left behind!

Since the beginning of time, food has brought people together and that is our ultimate goal with this concept.

    My first visit to Fraiche was amazing! The customer service was top tier from the time I walked in until the time I left. My girlfriend and I had the wings and oxtail meatballs for starters, the Golden Gate Noodles with salmon and the Bayou Gumbo and the bread pudding for a dessert. Everything was a 10/10. They had the hits on the speakers too, but at a perfect volume for you to be able to have a combo but still along if you’d like. And to top the night off we were able to get a picture with Mr. MakeItHappen. I’ll 100% be back.

    5 Stars – Incredible Food & Atmosphere! The ambience was amazing and really set the tone for the night. The staff overall were very friendly, and my server was great—she had a wonderful attitude. It was a busy night, so I think she may have been a little overwhelmed. A few things I asked for didn’t make it to the table, but honestly, the food was so good, I didn’t even mind. Everything was a 10 out of 10. The red snapper was perfectly crispy and fresh, the mac & cheese was creamy and rich, and the gumbo was packed with flavor. The oxtail meatballs were the star for me—crispy with a perfect touch of spice. Just absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!

    Gumbo, bread pudding, golden noodles, Branzino, and drinks were the things we tried and really liked. The rich friend, broke friend appetizers were funny lol.

    The food, service, and overall experience were excellent. My husband and I came from NJ and it was well worth the trip. We will tell our friends about the restaurant and we will definitely be back. Well done Mr. Make It Happen! 😁

    I follow Mr. Make It Happen on Instagram and was really excited to visit Fraîche with my wife, sister, and best friend. We ended up ordering a lot of food, and everything was delicious! The sticky ribs were wonderfully tender, and the deviled eggs were light and flavorful. The Fraîche Salad was packed with amazing flavors, and the cornbread was perfectly sweet, buttery, and soft. The mac and cheese was wonderfully cheesy and gooey, while the oxtail meatballs were a highlight—definitely a chef’s kiss moment! The sauce they were served in was absolutely amazing. We also enjoyed the Mambo wings, which had a fantastic sauce, and the truffle fries, which were light and flavorful. For drinks, my sister and I had the Pineapple Puncheon, and my wife enjoyed the Fraîche Old Fashioned, both of which were very good—definitely pack a punch! Our server was incredibly sweet and kind, which really enhanced our experience. We even had the opportunity to meet Mr. Make It Happen, who was super friendly and took pictures with us! Overall, we will definitely be back. If you find yourself in DC, I highly recommend making your way to Fraîche!
