    The overall dining experience was excellent. However, the outstanding part of our dinner was our server, JR. JR was professional yet friendly, putting everyone in our party at ease. Thank you, JR for a lovely evening.

    Everything was good but the service was slow. I will be going back for the food, but I wish they would get more support staff for the waiters.

    Consistently outstanding. Unfortunately, this night we had the Fried Avocado Salad and the avocado was not ripe and the spinach was drenched in salad dressing. A bit disappointing. We were sitting near the kitchen and it was a bit noisy.

    Franks is our favorite restaurant, hands down, and at Christmas it is even more magical! We’ve never had a bad meal there, and this past visit was no exception. My husband had the fish special which he said was the best he’s ever had. I always get a small plate entree, which is just the perfect size for me. Our visiting friend had the fried avocado salad, which she loved. We were celebrating birthdays, so of course we received a complementary dessert complete with a giant sparkler, which just added to the festive experience! Our waiter, Alex, was amazing. He was very attentive, knowledgeable, and fun to talk to! Also, this night was the very first with the complementary Valet parking. This is a fantastic addition, as it is often difficult to park! Congrats Franks, you just keep getting better and better!

    The food was fabulous and presented beautifully Our waiter, Mark, was knowledgeable and attentive. We could not have asked for a better experience The hosted noticed that we were older and carefully seated us at a table in a corner that would be less noisy. Not every restaurant would pay attention to their patrons and accommodate them accordingly. It was a lovely evening.
