    This was our first visit to Frank’s, and we will definitely be back! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful. Big shoutout to THE BEST server, JR. He may be the best server I have ever experienced at a restaurant. Kind, funny, attentive..all the things. I highly recommend Frank’s. We would love to sit outside in the “outback area” when it’s a bit cooler.

    I usually eat at the Outback, first time in a long time eating inside. it was very loud. there was a table of 6 who were obnoxious and ill mannered to the point that one two top table seated near us and the loud table asked the manager to be relocated. The six laughed that they had made someone move. Trump cretinism is alive and well. This all impacted our overall experience. Bruce was our waiter and he did an adequate job. I guess management is reticent to ask folks to behave in a fine dining establishment such as Frank's. I cant speak to that. overall I believe that Frank's is not as good as it used to be. food and service were not as spectacular as they had been in my past experiences there. maybe the ambience created by the obnoxious folk is dimming the whole thing.
