It's ironic that this restaurant is named after a great architectural team because Frank and Albert's suffers a fatal design flaw. The glass-enclosed dining room doesn't have any shades to block out the blinding Arizona sun. This has to be a problem that has been brought to management's attention before. I cannot believe they haven't installed anything to protect their customers' retinas. We had a bridal shower in that room, and all the people who had the misfortune of facing the windows spent the afternoon with their hands shading their eyes and wearing sunglasses. Very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience.
As for the food, the bread and french fries are great. I'm a big fan of the chipotle ketchup that's on the table. However, I was really disappointed with the casear salad. The kitchen's interpretation of the classic is to add a shit-ton of celery. Yuck. My tofu entree was good. The green beans with it were really delicious and fresh. Dessert was a disaster. I got soy ice cream which I normally enjoy, but I'm pretty sure the abomination that was served to me had been sitting in the freezer for at least a year.
Two of our servers, Sherri and John, were outstanding. They were so friendly and welcoming.
