My wife and I visited Frank's Kitchen for our first anniversary dinner on a Sunday evening. We were met warmly at the door and given choice of tables. We selected one in the back so we could listen to the kitchen working and see other dishes coming out.
We opted to have a cocktail each before our meal and were very happy with what was prepared. The amuse-bouche was perfect - a small, flavourful bowl to start things off. I ordered the crispy gnocchi to start while my wife had the caesar salad. The gnocchi were very good, with a creamy blue cheese and pancetta sauce. While maybe a touch on the saltier side due to the sauce ingredients, it was a great starter.
My main was the striploin steak with black truffles and parmesan frites. My wife chose the mushroom risotto with duck confit. Both were exceptionally good main courses - the red wine reduction sauce under my steak was absolutely to die for (and I ended up bringing a little bit home on my shirt when I dropped a piece of steak and it splattered...). My wife's risotto was flavourful and her duck completely fell apart when touched by her fork.
For desert we shared a peach tarte tatin with a chai latte ice cream. It ended the meal on a triumphant note and was a great incentive to return to Frank's again.
All in all, we were VERY happy with our whole experience on our first anniversary. Everything, from the welcome to the food to the service, was on point and perfectly executed. Thanks to everyone there for making our night so special.
