Horrible

They must be going downhill. Horrible food- disgusting and they would not exchange it! Overcharged, dated decor and just bad customer service! We will never go back~ too bad a better restaurant couldn't take over the cool building!

The restaurant is very beautiful and unique inside, but very noisy. If you are looking for a quiet dining experience this is not the place. Food was ok, but not the quality I had expected.

Me and my wife had brunch here 9/30/07 and I was fully satisfied. Not many places around can make Eggs Benedict properly, but Freemason Abbey is on par! Great service, extremely reasonable prices—I was very surprised. I cannot recommend Sunday brunch here strongly enough. Please do give it a try at least once!

This former church near the historic business district has been drawing customers for a long time, and not without reason. It has 40-foot-high cathedral ceilings and large windows, making for an airy, and dramatic, dining experience. You can sit upstairs, in the large choir loft, or in the main part of the church downstairs. Beside the bar just inside the entrance is an informal sort of "diner"...

Freemason Abbey Restaurant Review

The stone exterior and vaulted ceilings of this century-old former church provide a special atmosphere for some satisfying American favorites, such as whole Atlantic lobsters, prime rib, pan-seared tuna, grilled salmon Oscar and Rockefeller trout. We also recommend the homemade artichoke dip and crab dip. Of course, others are religious when it comes to the she crab soup. The cheerful and...

I went to this restaurant pretty much for lunch, I didn't know what to expect, or ever heard of it. The food was very good to excellent, and the service far above excellent!! Cheryl was my server and we were very pleased, the only thing is maybe a few more options on the menu, I like grill and scampi shrimp...

Interesting and the food is generally pretty good

Great setting to bring a group and clients. Waitstaff is good. They could use some renovation or general clean up as it does appear a bit worn in places. Just get some new carpet.

Business description (5) view all

The Freemason Abbey is located in a church that dates back over 130 years. The Freemason Abbey serves up quality seafood, steaks, pastas and more in a classy yet casual environment. Make sure you try the award winning She Crab Soup!

This upscale restaurant serves an American menu. Expect the average entrée to cost in the range of $12 to $20, and you`ll be appropriate if dressed casual.
