Frankies review by Sturgess

Went to Frankies in Knightsbridge yesterday (Sunday) lunchtime. Our reservation was ignored and seemed unnecessary, as the restaurant was only half full. The waitor service was incredibly slow, even though there wasn't many tables to serve. The "grand" entrance of Marco Pierre White (walking through the dining area with a lit cigarette in hand), shortly after we had arrived, meant that the staff were even slower, as they all seemed to be more interested in joining him for a cigarette in the bar area -this has been illegal since 1st July 2007.

The food wasn't particularly great. Spagetti Bolognese was bland, veal was dry as was the traditional Roast Beef (and cold) with just a teaspoon of gravy. The magician saved the day on the service, as whenever she wandered in our direction we asked if she could conjure up a waitor!

Prices would have been reasonable if the food had of lived up to expectations. Even though we were all given a 20% discount card off our next meal, we wont be hurrying back........wonder if the discount incentive is a sign of desperation for customers!
