Frankie and Lola's Front Street Cafe — Restaurant in Morro Bay

We were SO VERY excited to finally go here. The food had potential, but it failed completely to live up to it. The appetizers were ok, and they could have been good if they had put a little more effort into them. But the entrees were truly awful. We got the gnocchi and the butternut squash ravioli. The gnocchi's themselves were good, but the sauce was too salty to eat. I choose to take the whole plate home so that I can rinse them off and make my own sauce for them (and I told the waitress that I was doing that) since that is the only way to make them edible. The ravioli were so salty that they were completely inedible, even with the sauce scraped off. We had to send it back uneaten.

To add insult to injury, when they brought out the check, after trying to push us into ordering dessert (not free), they charged us full price for everything. I had to tell the waitress, politely, that I wouldn't pay for the, inedible, ravioli. I had expected it to be comped since it wasn't eaten. I also hoped that the gnocchi would be discounted since I was going to have to remake it myself to make edible.

The ravioli was taken off the final ticket. But it took probably 15 minutes to get the fixed ticket, even though there was only two other people in the restaurant, and they were obviously friends of the employees.

All in all, the experience was horrible and incredibly disappointing. We are never going back. And my suggestion to everyone is DON'T WASTE YOUR...

Do yourself the favor and just go here for breakfast! You are in for such a treat! I fell in love with this place the minute I walked in the door. It is so adorable, funky, and quirky, you just know you are in for something great!

The coffee was fantastic (get it "sexy" style and make it even fantastic-er), the Cranberry Kiss (cranberry juice and champagne) delish and the food was phenomenal!

I had the Fried Green Tomatoes Eggs Benedict and wowsa! Everything was RIGHT with this dish! And the potatoes that come with it...get in my mouth is all I can say! My Mom and Cousin had the Chilaquiles and they are both hard to please food-wise and could not stop singing their praises. My Stepdad had the Brulee, Souffle, Flambe French Toast and again, another hard one to please and he was quiet the whole meal (which means he was entranced by his food!).

The staff were absolutely great too! They accommodated us when we went from a party of 3 to 5 (as inside seating is tight in the small space this place occupies) and our waitress was just on it!

They have a decent beer and wine list (though I didn't partake...but next time!) and any place that has a dessert named "Make Your Mama Cry Pecan Pie" already has my seal...

Amazing food! I would definitely give this place a 5 star review based on its food and location. The only reason I’m giving it a 3 is because of their employee AVERY. All the employees were very accommodating except for AVERY who doesn’t seem to have any common sense or decency. I came to eat breakfast with my family (2 others). We grabbed a table outside that so happened to have only 2 seats. I walked over to another table next to me and asked the couple if I could borrow one of their 4 chairs. They politely said yes so I took the chair and started to walk it over to my table to sit with my family. AVERY insisted I couldn’t move the chair over 5 feet to my table because it broke code. Even though the table right next to us had just done the EXACT same thing and he said nothing. l was able to borrow another gentleman’s chair after he offered politely and I sat and enjoyed my meal. HOWEVER my point of this review is warn people of AVERY. The poor guy just isn’t very smart. I felt it was necessary for AVERY to know how much he sucks and probably shouldn’t be working in...
