| - I've read many positive reviews on Frank's Kitchen, so I decided to come here for dinner one night. It was pretty difficult to get a reservation to this place, and you usually need to book more than a week ahead (probably 2-3 weeks ahead if it's for the weekend).
The bread and amuse-bouche were nice, but not extraordinary in my opinion. The first pasta we had was the lobster ravioli in a basil, olive oil, and fresh tomato broth. There were generous chunks of sweet and delicious lobster meat in every pasta pocket. The tomato broth was light and delicate, which really allowed the lobster to shine.
For myself, I chose the crisp gnocchi in a gorgonzola cream with pancetta. I usually find gnocchi to be rather heavy, but in this case, I enjoyed chewing the potato dumpling and their crispy, pan-fried exterior. I'm usually not a fan of gorgonzola cheese, but in this case the sauce wasn't overwhelming.
For dessert, the black plum tarte tatin was quite nice, though I wasn't a fan of the Chai latte ice cream. Complimentary chocolate truffles ended the meal nicely.
Overall, service was very good, and the food was also pretty good. That said, nothing really wowed me, and I've had better meals elsewhere for similar prices.
