Reviews
Pros: professional staff members with knowledge about entire menu as well as the drinks menu. The drinks menu is elaborated. If asked, they can end up giving nice suggestions from the menu. The steak was cooked to perfection however, the lamb chops lacked the flavor. The house bread was too salty for us. Garlic mashed potatoes are a must. The shrimp scampi is a must! It was better than the lobster bisque soup. Our server Gustard was very helpful and kind. He arranged a complimentary dessert for our special occasion and we also got complimentary muffins in our to-go boxes.
Cons: our table was setup far off from live performing band where we could hardly hear them. All we could hear was people chit-chatting. Secondly, we were a couple and it seemed like we were surrounded by large groups in the seating area and they were loud. We couldn’t hear the band singing or even talking to each other became task. We wanted to enjoy our evening and have nice experience however, that didn’t happen.
Our hosts were named Jeff and Alex and they shared the specials day, and then explained how Frankie’s was not just a steakhouse. It owns it’s own production and prep houses so all the meat was American Wagyu grade. All the entrees are singular and the sides are a la cart, but are large enough to share.
We ordered: Lamb chops, Chilean Sea Bass, Grilled and Blackened Salmon, Lobster bisque, Cesar and Capresi salads, Corn Souffle, Sauteed spinach, Broccoli, Mushrooms and Lobster Mac-n-Cheese. When I tell you that the food was amazing… It was more of a culinary experience. We are already planning to return because none of us got a steak! Everything was rich and layered with depth of flavor. Then we shared dessert: Peach Bourbon Bread pudding with gelato, and a mountainous portion of a 7-layer Coconut cake that 3 adults were unable to finish.
The service was top notch, food was impeccable and the setting was private enough to feel like we were in our own small inner portion to the restaurant. Ambiance was like a page from the Great Gatsby. Definitely a major celebration event location! Also, on the way out ask about the Morning After Muffins! You WILL thank me later!!
Jeff and the rest of the staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly. The atmosphere was elegant but comfortable, perfect for celebrating a special occasion. Overall, great food, great drinks, and even better service. We’ll definitely be back!
As more people arrived I appreciated the way the tables were filled (From my perspective it seems there are 5 “rows” of tables, so the outside rows 1 and 5 were filled first, then the center row 3, and finally as capacity was reached the 2nd and 4th row were filled. This provided a very open and intimate experience, we weren’t all crowded together as the evening went on).
Sounds wonderful so far, and it was. But here is where I unfortunately have to remove some luster. Depending on what entrée you order along with appetizer and sides you’re easily looking at a minimum of $75/person for just the dinner. Add in beverages or some of the higher priced items and you’re having a very fine dining experience. That really sets expectations.
Our yeast rolls were served and we were warned the cast iron skillet was extremely hot so we waited a few minutes and worked on our raw oyster appetizer first. When we went to the rolls they were cold and so was the skillet. This was probably less than 5 minutes after receiving them, so there is no way they were warning hot plate delivery. Minor point one.
We both had filet mignon and they were cooked perfectly. I must say for a wet aged 28-35 day steak it did not meet our expectations. My experiences with prime aged steak is that it is so tender it can be cut with a bread knife or even a fork alone. This filet required the steak knife to cut it and it was not melt in your mouth tender. Prime filet, not tender. Steak is the reason for this restaurant. Major point two.
Our sides included mushrooms, brussels sprouts and Lyonnaise potatoes. The ‘shrooms were very tasty, the brussels are unbelievably good, and the ‘tatos were crispy and cooked well.
During the meal we did have some minor serving lapses that let wine glasses run low/out a couple of times but we poured ourselves to carry on. Minor point three.
The rest of the service was crazy good, as soon as one server would ask about something (like removing an appetizer and serving materials) almost before they could finish the question the other server was there and starting to pick up the items. It was actually amazing to watch this coordination.
We were gifted a delicious cheesecake to help our celebration, that was an unexpected touch and appreciated.
So am I being harsh with only 3 stars? When the raison d’être is steak, very expensive steak at that, it should be perfect. Ours was good but just not up to expectations we’ve experienced with other prime aged steakhouses. This was our first visit and it’s likely we’ll return and give it another try as everything else was very memorable.
