    I was really looking forward to celebrating my wedding with my parents at Frankie Rowlands, but unfortunately, the experience fell flat in several ways. First, we mentioned to the staff that we were celebrating a wedding—a pretty significant milestone—but they did absolutely nothing to make the evening feel special. No acknowledgment, no congratulations, not even a kind gesture. Second, they ran out of bottled water. It’s a minor detail, but it’s also the kind of basic thing you expect a restaurant of this caliber to have on hand. Third, they were out of two desserts: bread pudding and cheesecake. These are menu staples and fan favorites, so it was disappointing to have such limited options, especially during a celebratory dinner. Lastly, while my steak was flavorful, it was undercooked compared to how I ordered it. To be fair, the taste was so great that I didn’t bother sending it back, but at these prices, I shouldn’t have to make compromises. All in all, the experience lacked the polish and attentiveness I was expecting. For a restaurant with rooted history and expectations, Frankie Rowlands left a lot to be desired. I can’t see myself recommending it to others for a special occasions. However, the food will always delicious, if they have them available.

    Frankie Rowland's remains the best steakhouse I've ever experienced. The steaks are nicely but simply seasoned (salt, pepper, clarified butter) and done exactly as promised. Be prepared to rather large amounts of sides; we could eat only half of the onion rings we received because the portion was too large. They also make the best pineapple martinis.

    First time visiting the steakhouse. I had heard quite a bit about it and the experience did not disappoint. Be prepared to foot a large bill but for a special occasion it was worth it. The food was delicious. I ordered the Australian lamb chops medium rare and they were splendid. My wife had a filet that came out with a nice crust and a cool rare center. Just as she asked for. Our server was on point. Exactly what I expected from a restaurant of this caliber. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and like a ghost. We were never interrupted however all our needs were met seemingly out of nowhere. Just how I like my servers to be. Honestly, the food is a bit overpriced but I was paying for an overall experience and was not disappointed. I will definitely return for another special occasion.

    Frankie's downtown is a classic steakhouse. Predictable. Pricey, 2 of us with just a couple sides and the bill was over $300. Worth it for special occasion BUT not a steady diet for sure even when money doesn't matter in my view.

    The food was amazing and the ambience really set the mood for a great dinner! We would recommend the crab dip to anyone. If you want great service, ask for Jack N. He was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall a wonderful experience.
