- OTOpenTable DinerSeattle / Eastern Washington •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI was meeting my sister and niece to celebrate my niece's graduation from high-school. We had 5 or 6 different rolls. All were very very good. My niece loves sushi, but this was her first time at a "real" sushi restaurant. We sat in the back corner, so she watched them make the food. We had wonderful service as well! This will continue to be my favorite restaurant. Thank you!More infoTenPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Charlottesville•4.8

- PHPeggyHPhiladelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •4 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 16, 2023We had such a wonderful time this evening at Cafe Frank. The hosts and servers went out of their way to make David's birthday celebration special. From the complimentary birthday toast of Rubus blanc de blanc brut (think sparkling chardonnay) to the salmon rillettes, the perfectly prepared wagyu steak with potato puree, to the melt in your mouth lamb shank over polenta, everything was perfect. We love the cool Parisian vibe...and the cocktails were pretty amazing too.More infoCafe FrankPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French / American• Charlottesville•4.5
