    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.
