I had one person out of 8 that was 10 minutes late to our reservation. The server decided to sit another group without a reservation at my table. We got seated over an hour later. I understand their policy but one person sitting down a few minutes later has no effect.

Food was excellent service was adequate the worse part of the whole afternoon was that the music in the Resturant Area was way to load and way to funky for a resturant serving classical Italian.

The food at Frank is always delicious and has been consistent for years. It is a fun restaurant with good music which can be a little loud when it’s busy later at night but that’s the point. Kale Caesar is amazing. The pasta so yummy. Portion sizes are large. Cocktails are well crafted. Always a good time.

Frank is a gem. It’s in the East Village, so a bit off the beaten tourist path. Food is great and portions are good. Charming interior and a decent patio if the weather is good. Love this place!

Fun and lively as ever, but the food has become mediocre. This place used to be one of my fav East Village Italian spots.
