http://www.london-eating.co.uk/22847.htm Frankies Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating The food is some of the best Italian I've had, vongole as it should be (open kitchen not the best though as it can get very noisy sitting next to it). The waiters were knowledgeable, fast and absolutely brilliant with all the tables as far as we could see -very friendly. However the atmosphere topped everything, the mix of arto-deco glamour ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm i was disappointed with the service at this restarant, with such good names to it, firstly i booked in december for the end of january,only not to get my emailed pack sent to me so i printed it off the one from the website.then had to go in after work to rebook a table for 16/17. with my revised menu. told that that would not be a ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm Awful! Arrived on time for our booking only to have to hang around for 3-4 minutes near the bar before we were acknowledged by waiting staff..another 2 mins before we were seating. Nice largish tables, but lacking in certain items of cutlery, which was not picked up on by staff, even after our food had arrived. We were given menus - it was ten ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm Upon arrival we were greeted by a rather dithering waitress who had trouble locating our booking. We decided to have a drink at the bar whilst waiting for others in our party to arrive. We were 5 in all, not a large party. The bar was extremely grubby and uninviting, the lemonade in the spritzer was flat and the bar smelt of cigarettes. On ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm I had very very low expectations of this restaurant where we went on Saturday night with a group of friends - I had read enough about the Frankies chain to be sure I wouldn't like it. The room was I must say, quite impressive - subtle it wasn't, but it was very nicely set out with glitter balls and good spaces between tables. What was quite ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm Waited a few minutes to be noticed and seated - then we were left for 20 mins with no drinks. My partner had to go to the bar himself for the drinks as we were sick of waiting. Then barman made wrong drinks. Then we waited another 15 minutes for someone to come and take the order, and this was only through us trying to get the waiters ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm Nice looking restaurant. Swish design and in good location on Chis High Rd. But (and like Beyonce, its a big butt) the portions are absolutely parsimonious. Serious portion control in evidence when I went. My wife is a fan but I won't go back - despite being given one of their 20% lifetime discount cards - as I had to have a second dinner ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm Great location, decor is pleasant but I did feel as if it was from an interior design kit as opposaed to 'orginal'. But then again, its mainly about the food - or should be. The menu is simple and I thought that was a good sign. Instead we had tuna that was so overdone as to be shoe leather - and that having asked for it to be rare! When we ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm I went to Frankie's on Saturday with my wife and 12 friends and whilst the food was OK (not great, just OK) we were really dissapointed with the service. When we arrived no-one was there to greet us, after standing at the door for ages we had to go into the restaurant and ask someone to show us to our table and we spent the night constantly ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm My recent visit to Framkies in Chiswick was an out of the blue pleasant surprise, being a lover of all food Italian, my husband and I searched the net looking for something a little different to most of the other High street Chain Restaurants. We found it! What a gem too, Almost hidden away off the High street, not knowing what to expect we ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1832.htm
