Best Authentic Restaurants in Frankfort

We had a late Valentine’s Day celebration combined with our wedding anniversary. I selected Thassos as our place of celebration, and oh how we felt like royalty! The food- just incredible. The service- best you’ll find in Chicago. The drinks? - better than those I’ve had at restaurants in New York or Denver. Such a romantic setting for our special day and I can’t thank Thassos enough for the beautiful memories we have created there.. Do yourself a favor and make a reservtaion, because this place has always been packed when I’ve been here and it’s no surprise! I can’t stop thinking about that Shrimp appetizer with red sauce and feta!! Out of this world!!

Food and service were delicious and excellent. Will return and recommend.

I'm always on the lookout for great restaurants that combine great service and great food. Otsteria Ottimo, exceeded my expectations in both categories as well as that of my guests. Having dined at many well-known steak houses, the fillet mignon, I enjoyed here was second to none. Many of which were double in price. And then there were the pasta dishes, OMG, Bravo!

We went on Valentine's Day for lunch and it wasn't busy. The meats were excellent and my boyfriend was in heaven. The tri-tip and sausages were the high points for me. The parmesan chicken and parmesan pork were rather bland and dry. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have the beef ribs, but the manager told me that certain meats aren't served during lunch to keep the price down, which is fair. The fried bananas and cheese bread were good, but nothing special. I LOVED the potatoes gratin and sauteed mushrooms. The boyfriend loved the mashed potatoes. If you're not a meat eater, you'll be very happy with the salad bar as there was lots of variety and plenty of heartier & higher-end items: potato salad, fresh mozzarella, two kinds of olives, goat cheese, smoked salmon, it goes on and on. I'm obsessed with the very generously-sized papaya mousse dessert, and haven't stopped thinking about it since. The service was really wonderful. The waiter, the gauchos, and manager were all kind and attentive. The waiter kept an eye out and proactively checked in, refilling our drinks and such. The gauchos seem to have a sixth sense for what you need more of. Definitely going back.

Frankie's NEVER disappoints!! The Valentine's Kids' Night was so much fun and so beautifully planned and executed. My kiddos LOVED the special kids drinks, the coloring sheets, all the decor and little details that made it special for kids. The adults also had many fun choices for specialty Valentine's drinks and desserts, too. As a parent, I really appreciate such an incredible restaurant having these types of events for kids and families. Excellent service as always, absolutely delicious food!!
