"I would recommend taking your dining experiences elsewhere . Overpriced horrible food. place is way too small. you are shoulder to shoulder with people you don't even know. it almost felt as if i could feel the person next to me breathing down my neck. the water they serve taste as if it just came out of the toilet, the bread is so small if you order any you better order 1-2 orders PER PERSON. other then the staff being wonderful this place has no redeeming qualities. i would highly recommend reconsidering making a reservation at this place. just about any place in town is better. and that's really sad:("
"What a fantastic meal in a lovely atmosphere with great staff. Our server was Claire, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The food was awesome. We had the chicken/ham croquettes to start, which were quite the treat. For the main meal, we enjoyed the scallops and the skate. Both were amazing, and the sides were five stars. I would recommend this place highly. Make reservations. :)"
"We were looking for something tasty on a Monday night, when many restaurants are closed, but not Cafe Frank! Our meal was delicious, with excellent service. This was our first visit, so we had many questions, all of which were patiently answered. From 4-6 PM, the bar is open, with various small bites available - a nice selection to choose from! Dinner service starts at 5 PM, which worked perfectly for us. We had the Old Fashioned Seafood Cocktail, which was a pleasant take on multiple seafood tastes - shrimp, lobster claw, & crab salad with veggies and delicious toast points. For mains, we tried 2 of the evening specials - mushroom risotto with bay scallops (actually an appetizer, but it was the perfect portion for my main) and Icelandic Cod with succotash & smoked broth - yum!! The wine list and cocktail list has something to please any taste - everything was good! We ended our meal with the day’s dessert special, Espresso Pots de Creme with almond cookies! and Rose Pavlova - so good! The pots de creme had a lovely coffee layer on top, with chocolate beneath, perfect for dipping the cookies in. The Pavlova was exactly the light dessert needed to finish the meal - whipped cream with raspberries and raspberry sorbet, topped by meringue coated with raspberry syrup - a lovely way to end the meal. Service was spot on, including when I accidentally knocked over a wine glass - whoops! We are returning soon!"
"We came here when for their happy hour and had some of their appetizers which were behind the glass case at the inside front of the restaurant. We sat at the bar. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our server even gave us a drink sample. My favorite appetizers were the lobster egg and the salmon roll. Their entrees looked too. We also got a couple of their desserts, a rose dessert and a cheesecake. The rose dessert was surprisingly good— and I don’t normally like the taste of rose. The cheesecake was unique and different from regular cheesecake. Since the space is limited inside, I recommend getting a reservation. We just happened to come at a good time when there weren’t many people. They also have a small patio. Lovely little French restaurant in the downtown mall."
