   Food is outstanding but service could be improved by adding one or two additional wait staff. Should not have to wait 15 min for a cup of coffee or see the table that came in well after you arrived receive their food first.

   The menu sounded really promising however overall wasn’t very flavourful. I tried the broccoli soup and pea and chive dumplings. The soup just tasted like puréed broccoli and there weren’t any flavours added to the dumplings, just tasted like they threw peas in them and heated them up. My date got the kimchi fried chicken and it barely had any spice and was also burnt in parts although the non-burnt parts were fried well. The cocktail I got was disappointing too, was supposed to be a hot cider but tasted like mouthwash. Overall I would say the food was edible but too bland.

   This is my second time coming to frankie’s because their food is exceptional but was a little disappointed with our server because he didn’t tell us what time the kitchen was closing and we couldn’t order desserts. Hopefully in the future they can give people more time to order ahead for desserts. But overall great ambiance and great food!

    I was very excited for my reservation at Frankie’s, however I was massively underwhelmed by the quality of the food. I ordered the brunch burger (without pickles) and the Tim Tam milkshake. I wish I took pictures but the milkshake was more like chocolate milk (maybe the ice cream had fully melted by the time it got to me?) and the burger had a generic meat patty (like McDonald’s) with a very undercooked egg, and pickles (guess they forgot to remove the pickles). Don’t know why they even bothered asking how I wanted my meat cooked. The pancakes I ordered for my toddler were a better choice. Overall, cool ambiance, ok service, but food quality thumbs down!

    Great date night option. Everything was delicious, from the Kimchi Fried Chicken to the Agnolotti. The Burrata was super fresh as well. There wasn't a single dish we didn't love. Good bourbon selection. I don't recommend their Black Crow King cocktail; it was pretty much straight-up lemon juice, unfortunately. Too tart for me, but to each their own!

    The I suppose Brunch menu was limited. Though they were not very busy it took quite a while for the order to be taken. That followed with a bit too long of a wait for the actual serving of the food. We did in no way have difficult selections, as I stated the menu was limited.This is my second visit to this restaurant, the first occasion was much better than this outing. I am not sure if I would recommend this eatery.

    We had a wonderful time at Frankie on a calm Sunday evening, 4th of July weekend. The cocktails were fun and yummy, the decor felt inventive and upscale beachy and the food was all really delicious. We shared the pea dumplings (heavier and more filling than expected), the walnut/red pepper spread with pomegranate (excellent) and the branzino with red chilis (delicious and looks gorgeous). It was a great date night and we will definitely be back.

    We celebrated fathers day here. The food was amazing. It was a very windy day and we reserved outside and inside was booked. The owner let us have the private room upstairs. The server was so sweet and nice, my son became his best friend right away. We had the green curry coconut rice and the chicken. I definitely recommend. The pistachio cake, soo good.

    Cute, trendy restaurant. Food was good. Service was very quick (almost too quick). Wine was nice but not amazing. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather. The music was very loud and it was even louder inside. I don’t know why it’s a thing to listen to someone else’s playlist. I find it distracting and don’t like having to talk loudly across the table. I’m honestly sick of loud restaurants. Won’t return.

    We waited over 40 minutes for our first round of drinks and they came out warm and melted, the server forgot to put our food in so we had to wait extra time for that as well, no water at our table until the end of our meal, pretty much kept forgetting we were there the entire time.

    Bad bad experience, would never recommend to anyone especially if you’re going by earlier reviews….1) our reservation was not honored and was asked to wait a long long time 2) we reserved for a table indoors as outdoor was cold and was asked to go upstairs to a run down 1950’s table which they called a vip suite - we said no thank you we will wait for another 15 mins! 3) they completely forgot one out of two entrees we ordered- well how hard can that be?!!! And after all that they didn’t have the decency to even give a discount for the big mess of an experience!! And the menu was not even attractive! Seriously messed up place!

    The place was obviously overbooked and the servers were scrambling. Our server was in her day 1 and the restaurant just threw her into this mess. Our order was misplaced and food didn’t arrive until more than 90 minutes had gone by. Drinks and food were cold and mediocre. Management couldn’t care less about our feedback.

    Good food and atmosphere. We were seated early once our full party arrived. Portion sizes were generous. While staff was regularly roaming around, it took awhile to get someone's attention as well as receive drinks we ordered. Would come back despite those inconveniences.

    Eh. Not great for dinner. Service and food were both sub par. Portion sizes were small. Maybe this is more of a brunch place or for drinks/apps?

    Food was absolutely delicious. We had the avocado toast, ricotta pancakes and veggie burger. Issue we had with the service was we had to wait probably 15 to 20 minutes before anyone came to our table to help us. Then after that no one really came over at all to ask how we are, if I wanted another Mimosa, etc. We ended up dealing with 3 different servers as I had t flag down new ones to get service. So that was a bit of a negative. Honestly I would go back for more of the food on the menu, and hope the service is a bit better.

    I’ve been to Frankie a number of times since it opened and it’s the same every time: The food is good (not great, in my opinion), but the staff and the service is awful. I go back thinking it’ll be different, but it never is. It’s the worst service I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Here’s the gist: When we sit down, we wait ~10 minutes just for a server to acknowledge us and bring us water, then we wait ~60 minutes for food—with zero apology or explanation as to why things are delayed. I don’t think I’ve ever been there and not had to flag down a server and ask for service. Only after you say something do they say sorry — but it’s never earnest; it’s always, “Oh yeah, sorry…” Every one of the servers looks like they’d rather be anywhere else. There is zero customer service and never an offer to make things right when things are delayed (which always happens) or when the servers forget something (which frequently happens). I try to give them the benefit of the doubt because I know the industry is tough, but this staff doesn’t even seem like they’re trying. This last time, I had to ask our server for an update on our food about 50 minutes into the wait and he said, “The kitchen said they’re working on it…” Thanks? The owner even came by to take away a cup and didn’t even apologize or acknowledge the issue. It’s poor service and poorer management. Never again will I go back.

    Good restaurant but terrible management. They should hire much more employees for the weekends. It's extremely difficult to get ahold of the servers because they are so busy. Took an hour for the food to arrive. Unacceptable!
