    Excellent! I’d come back again. The food was great and so were the drinks. Tables are small for the food portions.

    Excellent Christmas Eve dining experience with superb food, service and a festive atmosphere to top everything off. We went the route of all appetizers, which were cooked to perfection and bursting was amazing flavor. The hand-crafted cocktails were equally terrific and the 12 days of Christmas drink menu was genius and had a wonderful array of choices!! Two thumbs up for creativity and a way to set yourself apart from the rest of the field for holiday dining.

    We had the best Christmas Eve dinner at Frank’s! The decorations were breathtaking, our waitress Kayla was attentive and personable and the food was incredible. My cousin and I had the petite skirt steak dinner complete with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach which was the perfect amount of food and so delicious. Highly recommend that. Other members of our party had the petite filet mignon which was also incredibly delicious and to top it off we ended the night with the rainbow cookie cake and chocolate mousse. Unbelievable!!! My daughter and mother could not get enough! Thank you Frank’s for the perfect Christmas Eve experience. We will definitely be back.

    Very happy with our Christmas Eve dinner. Only thing I would mention is that we were the first table seated and the drink service was a little slow in the beginning but otherwise it was good.
