- SSandraVirginia •16 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoCharming, intimate restaurant on Downtown Mall. Exceptional service, attentive but not intrusive; Dylan made great suggestions and couldn’t have been more professional. Partner had steak frites, prepared exactly as ordered. I had perfectly cooked halibut. Extensive wine list including a delightful VA sparkler and nice Cabernet (Happy Hour price!). Desserts looked yummy, but entree portions were generous. Glad we didn’t order appetizers. Next time! And we’ll definitely try lunch and brunch. Highly recommended for any occasion.More infoCafe FrankPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French / American• Charlottesville•4.7
