What a delightful restaurant this is, from the outdoor seating to the bar and restaurant it’s self. The staff was welcoming from the moment we entered, various staff stopped by and checked on us and our meal. The story of the restaurants name sake is worth asking about. Make sure to try one of the cocktails “spice up your life” or “H your love life”, which was my favorite. We started our meal with the mixed olives and warm pita with a creamy hummus drizzled with olive oil. The perfect way to start a meal. Then we shared the Arancini with braised lamb served on whipped feta, which took one of my favorite dish to a whole new level, we all raved about it. The crispy halloumi with sun-dried tomato and pomegranate and fresh tomatoes is a bite you must make sure to get all the ingredients in. This was an elevated version that takes this dish to new levels. For the entree we shared the perfectly cooked lamb chops and fingerlings potatoes with a magnificent sauce that pulled the dish together. The Biscoff Terrine is a delicious ending to an amazing food journey. We look forward...

We also had the deviled eggs (still fantastic), the Potato Tots with Brava Aioli, and the halloumi cheese. Our server Kyla was charming, efficient, and a delight. We'll be back again! [2024] We were on a tight time schedule, and the entire staff worked hard to ensure we got our meal in the time allotted. Special thanks to our marvelous and charming server Taline*, who was absolutely amazing.
I had the Stuffed Chicken Pita, which was terrific. My wife raved about the Grilled Shrimp Terrine. We shared a plate of the deviled eggs, and agreed that these were perhaps the best restaurant deviled eggs we'd ever had.
Check out Frankie's at your first opportunity. You cannot go wrong here.
