This was my second visit to Frank, but my first for dinner. A friend was in town and we wanted to sit somewhere on the quiet side so we could drink prosecco and catch up. We chose Frank because it just so happened Summerlicious was on and we thought it would be a great way to experience the restaurant at the more affordable rate of $35 per person.
I arrived to spectacular service. The gentleman who greeted me even went as far as to pull my chair out for me when we arrived at the table, which I found quite lovely. Our server was prompt and pleasant, though a straight-to-business kind of girl. I started with the pineapple salad and my friend had the cod fritters. We both enjoyed our meals, but I found the turkey bacon unnecessary and a somewhat funny looking garnish. I didn't eat it, but loved the tangy pineapple dish. For our mains, we both went for the flank steak. I'm not much of a red meat person, but our server was adamant that I would love it--and she was right. I ordered it medium and was pleased with how it was cooked as usually I'm more of a MW girl if I order beef at all. It mostly tasted like roast beef with a giant ravioli stuffed with mushrooms and gravy rounding out the comfort food feel of the meal. The arugula salad with bursting cherry tomatoes lightened it up and completed the pallet.
Finally, I opted for the mango passion fruit smoothie while my friend went for the cookie. Both of us enjoyed our meals and I must confess I kind of regretted not getting the cookie as it looked so good. Despite my dessert envy, we truly had a great time at Frank. I only wish we had arrived earlier to check out the gallery beforehand. Next time I'll be sure to do that.
