    The service was amazing we went for my birthday last night, and got the lamb special, our hostess said that the mashed potatoes that came with it were unavailable but worked with me to still get the perfect meal, she made any accommodation I needed and always checked in to make sure all was okay and got a free drink as my birthday gift! The service was spectacular as was the food. Definitely loved the experience.

    We had a faboulous time! Our daughter was in town for the holiday and Frank and Dino's took excellent care of us. The food was super - as always. The service was excellent, something we expect from F&Ds. Our waiter suggested an Italian wine that was a good match with our food selections. We had a wonderful evening!

    The food is amazing here- so fresh.the only issue we had was our server. I understand it was a holiday and they were very busy, but she seemed to bypass us , never asking if we needed anything. When she finally brought another coke, it was diet, then so was the next one.

    Our dinner at Frank & Dino’s was good. The food was top notch! Service on the other hand was okay, but was not up to par considering the $400 dinner bill. It started with a rude call to verify our reservation. Our waiter was very nice but overall service was slow. Our visit to Frank & Dino’s receives an overall 4/5 stars solely due to the wonderful food.

    We chose Frank & Dino’s to celebrate a birthday. Ordering from their fabulous weekend brunch menu, my friend chose the Keeneland Classic Egg Benedict, and I decided on the Bricks & Mortar Popcorn Chicken and Waffle. Both of us loved our selections. Our waitstaff, Stephanie, was knowledgeable about the menu and was kind and patient to answer our questions. She provided excellent customer service. We enjoyed both the window seating and the beautiful dining room.

    Frank & Dino’s is an absolute FAVORITE that we need to visit more often. There is no way to give them anything other than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for everything — Food, Service and Atmosphere! Always make a reservation though!

    This is one of my favorite restaurants downtown. Food was excellent. Chris our server was attentive to our every need. I recommend the beet salad. It may not be on the menu daily. My son had the salmon which was a huge portion. My husband had the seafood special which he said was excellent. I had the chicken piccata. The sauce was perfectly prepared.
