Freddy Smalls Restaurant Review: Owned by Jeff Weinstein (The Counter), Freddy Smalls features the cooking of two highly respected Bay Area chefs, Jeremy Fox (Ubuntu) and Charlie Parker (Plum). The menu at this haute neighborhood bar offers grub like steak tartare topped with smoked egg yolk, grilled Monterey squid, and Fox’s charcuterie board featuring house-made oxtail terrine, duck rillettes and chicken liver mousse. Other items are deviled eggs with Point Reyes blue cheese, a take on Parmesan chicken, and for breakfast or dessert, Belgian waffles with bacon-butter and bourbon-maple syrup. Hailing from Seven Grand, David Fleisher has created a sophisticated handcrafted cocktail program. Freddy Smalls is decked out in white subway tile, a vintage tile floor and wood beams, giving this insider-knowledge spot a cool, laid-back vibe that feels like a genuine neighborhood watering hole.
