We had a lovely Valentine’s evening at the German Gymnasium. Service was excellent, food was marvellous. We did not opt for the Valentines menu as it felt too restrictive as we had the normal menu.

Frank’s was an absolute treat! Every dish we ordered was flavor packed and delicious. We had tickets for a show at the Park Theatre and thought it was a slightly closer walk and there was a train delay so we ended up in a bit of a rush to make curtain time. The staff was knowledgeable, accommodating and very kind. We plan on coming back when we have a bit more time to savor the full experience. I can’t recommend this charming place highly enough.
