Restaurants near Due West Shopping Center

My last visit to Frankie’s was a while ago, and it wasn’t a positive one. However, we decided to go back in hopes that things have changed. I’m happy with my decision, as things were better. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and informative. The wine (which this time was a normal wine pour) was delicious. The Caesar salad was large and definitely shareable. My only complaint was that the cavatelli was overly salty which is likely a cooking error. However, my father seemed to like it very much and ate a majority of his plate. The meatballs were so good, and the bread and olive oil was good as well. I’m so happy I gave it another shot, I’ll be returning in the future.

It was our first time at Koré after hearing so many amazing things about it - and boy did it not disappoint. The crispy rice & spicy tuna was unreal as well as the sticky ribs having heavenly fall of the bone meat. The mi cucumber was phenomenal and the truffle mac & cheese wonderful. Our server Kensington was AMAZING and walked us through the entire menu for our first time - kudos to all the staff & kitchen as well. Thanks for making our Valentine’s Day so easy to enjoy!

10/10 experience. They have thought of every detail to curate a perfect vibe. The small, intimate 14 seat room makes it feel like you are connected to the chefs preparing each selection. The drink choices were unique and so delicious. It was hard to pick a favorite course because they were all so so good! Can’t wait to go back!! Def. worth staying up until midnight to snag that reservation!!

Our server, (forgot his name, but a tall and polite gentleman), took great care of us and brought us a free dessert and savory dish, as we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday and our five year anniversary. Something I enjoyed about him too, is he was informative, guided us through how the menu works, but was not overbearing in his delivery or presence at the table. I’ve been to so many places where you can tell the server is being a bit performative and will drown you in details instead of reading the room and giving people time to process lol. What really stood out as well, was the fact that every staff member we interacted with, (the host, server, and THREE other employees on the floor), all knew we were celebrating and made a point to congratulate us. You could tell they pay attention to special details here. My partner and I are both in the service industry (fine dining), so we notice the small stuff and had no complaints! Even our water glasses never dropped below 3/4ths full. Also worth noting — the value you get for the delicious food, great ambience, and service is WELL worth the price. A wonderful dining experience without breaking the bank. Would highly recommend this place 👍🏻

This is a great place for families and those with young children. They have a better kids menu than most and have plenty of (paid for) fun add ons that delight a pre-schooler. The adults had fried gator as an appetizer, fish and chips, and blacked fish tacos. All were good and what we expected quality-wise. It wasn’t nearly as loud as we expected and the Dover and mermaid were extra fun in the aquarium. Our service was great from beginning to end and the staff seemed to be in good spirits. We will be adding this to our family special event rotation.
