IN A WORD - DELIGHTFUL! My first visit to Miss Frankie, an upmarket pasta themed restaurant on Richmond's trendy Cremorne Street. The restaurant is conveniently a short walk from Richmond Station - which is just as well given the horrendous traffic in that area in the evening peak! The restaurant has an industrial-chic decor with lots of open space and interesting wall art. Tables are well spaced and a generous size. People with mobility issues will have no problems here as its all one level even flooring. The toilets are just at the rear of the dining area and are very spacious, including and exceptionally large and well designed one that will be easy to utilise in a wheelchair. Back to the dining.... we were enthusiastically greeted on arrival and ushered to a large table. The waiter was chirpy and attentive and we we soon underway with sparkling water and a menu and drinks list to ponder. We had booked the early sitting with a requirement to be out within a couple of hours but as it is wasn't that busy the waiter told us we were welcome to stay longer of desired. There were two of us and we elected to share the cheese board. It was easily enough for two and had some very high quality cheeses and pickled vegetables. We moved on to sharing two pasta dishes - the gnocchi (served with a beef ragu) which had a very soft texture (perhaps a little too fluffy) and the ricotta tortellini which was an absolute stand-out dish. The ricotta was creamy with a delightful delicate flavour. We accompanied the pasta dishes with a fennel and orange salad (a good mix of crunchiness from the fennel and sweetness of the orange) and a green of garlic silverbeet (perfectly cooked and not a trace of grittiness that sometimes comes with this vegetable!). We had a pinot grigio and a cab sav to accompany the dishes. All up it cost the two of us $165 inclusive of four glasses of wine.. quite reasonable given the quality of the food Overall the experience was very pleasant. The noise level was low (although the restaurant wasn't particularly full when we were there). Staff are attentive and friendly without being intrusive and the dishes were very professionally served. I will definitely be back to try more of the pasta dishes :)
