I had a very large party for a work event, our server Sabrina was very kind and assisting a lot of guests herself. The food was amazing, and my entire team loved everything they had ordered!

Frankie's International Bistro was just as wonderful as the 1st time I went there! It was a great dining experience for the new people I went with. The service was outstanding; the food was so fresh and delicious; the deserts were scrumptious made by their in-house bakery chef; and the atmosphere was just delightful as we overlooked the lake! It was a home run! It was a 10! Can't wait to go back again!

We had an amazing brunch. Well worth the price. Great value. And you can tell the ingredients they used were top notch. They even had biscuits and gravy which I haven't had since I was a kid. So you can literally choose from a number of international styles for lunch and dinner. All Fresh and home made. Can't say enough.

Great service. It was unfortunate that they were short staffed and our reservation time was not honored. We sat at the bar and were not disappointed. Service from the kitchen and the bar was outstanding. A little disappointed that the broccolini was just broccoli, but appreciated that the waitstaff let us know at the time of ordering. We will definitely be returning.

The place was short-staffed, but the restaurant did a nice job in explaining that upfront, and quite frankly, once we sat down, it was hardly noticeable. The food was and the service was fantastic.

Loved the decor, enjoyed the extensive menu options, staff were spectacular. It was my wife's birthday celebration and everyone made us feel special, velvet cake dessert was delicious & presented beautifully. Hated to disturb the look, but had to eat the yummy cake. Will definitely go back again!

We were greeted and seated promptly. Our server came with water and took our drink order quickly. We shared Polpetti De Carni and Shrimp Mozambique appetizers. Both very good. Our dinners were chosen from every region, Mongolian Beef, Bolognese, Asian Noodles, and Peixe Assado. Large portions, and all delicious with leftovers to take home. The bar seemed behind, as we waited a bit for our second round of drinks. However, our server was attentive and apologized for the delay. We will return and hope to enjoy the same positive experience.

Absolutely loved everything! From the ease of the online reservations. To the Amazing staff From the hostess to our phenomenal waitress. The menu has the most wonderful array of foods to choose from & the presentation when the arrived at the table beautiful. Each Meal was perfection & the Expresso Martini's highly recommended. The restaurant is Gorgeous inside As well as the bar. I recommended this restaurant for casual or for a fine dining date. I'll be back for sure. Thank you Tracy

First time at Frankie’s. The food was very good and the service was excellent! I had a glass of cabernet sauvignon which was good but pricey at $16. Otherwise, a nice experience.

We dined on a Sunday night for dinner. Our waitress brought warm bread and butter and took our drink order. Very friendly and helpful on the menu. We ordered artichoke with goat cheese and crab cakes for our appetizers, which were both delicious. For our dinners, we ordered the swordfish and naked fish, both delicious. The service was good, not great. We waited for our empty water glasses to be refilled, eventually we gained the attention of a server to fill our glasses. We enjoyed our evening and the food. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

Went there on Dec 16. Place looked very nice. We were seated immediately we had reservations. Waitress took a little long to come over and greet us. She took out orders after bringing us out drinks. One person in the party doesn't drink alcohol. She informed him that they ran out of non alcoholic beer. I was informed that I had just finished the last of the whiskey I was drinking. Appetizers came out and didn't impress us. Btw we were a party of 6. We ordered our entrees,when they came out we were disappointed . Two of us ordered the Bitoque Medeiros ,and another gentleman ordered carne di porco alentejana. The women ordered fish.Our bitoques are nothing like what a traditional Bitoque is supposed to be. Way over priced as well by 15 dollars. Missing flavor that comes from Portuguese food. The carne di porco was service as a piece of steak,white rice in a bowl. That's definitely not the Portuguese dish. We told the waitress and she got a new dish . We are Portuguese and we know what the Portuguese food should taste and be presented. If you're going to advertise as an international bistro then service dishes that are close to what is traditionally served. Had an espresso after dinner and the espresso cup is small to begin with but when the cup isn't even half full and one of them actually had a bout two drops of coffee in it. We told the waitress that and her response was that's how it came out of the machine. Would never go back we figure we'd give it a try.Food was way over priced .

We could tell that Frankie’s was a little short staffed for Thanksgiving this year. It looked as if only one waitress was working for the whole dining room. We waited a bit long for our drinks and to order food. That being said, we knew it was a holiday and workers are hard to come by. When they recognized we had been waiting a while we noticed the whole staff supporting the waitress. Everyone was pleasant while they were in the weeds. The food was really good! Portuguese stuffing made my day… SO good! The whole family said we’d like to come back another time and try the regular menu. Thank you for a wonderful Thanksgiving meal!

Unfortunately, this is our second time at the restaurant and the meals are quite average but premium priced. Further, we had a collection of Portuguese meals during our recent visit and they are not close to authentic but expensive (paella and bitoque). We are rooting for this restaurant to succeed (love the international diversity, it’s ambiance, and location on water) but the food needs real improvement.

Didn’t seem busy, but long time between ‘do you need anything’ and when things arrived, sometimes forgotten. Bill was wrong (corrected) never got some things. Waitress very attentive when with us and remembered items without writing down (always impressive). Food was very good, noise loud from music, prices higher than expected!

This was our second visit and while our first visit was mediocre, it is still a new place and sometimes kinks need to be worked out. The service was excellent both times. The international menu idea is an interesting concept but perhaps a bit too difficult to pull off. Prices are high everywhere, but they are especially high here for nothing special.
