Frankie's

I want to like this place...

This used to be my go-to place (from around 2015-2018). It was clean, had professional waitstaff, and served delicious food. Sometime before COVID, I noticed that the hostess one day was dressed unprofessionally, the wait for a table was suddenly chaotic, the decor had changed, the waiter was dressed very sloppily in visibly dirty clothes, and the food wasn't as high of a quality, despite being the same items I used to order. I figured it was an off night and tried again, but had the same experience. After COVID, I still didn't want to throw in the towel on this place I used to love, so I tried eating there two more times. It was worse than pre-COVID. The last time I went in, I officially knew I would not come back. The waitstaff were extremely unprofessionally dressed; the waitress with mismatched tshirt and cropped leggings with lace around the hem (read: pajamas!), slipper like shoes like she'd literally been caught off guard at home. The place was basically empty. There was clutter everywhere; cardboard boxes, bussing trays with dirty dishes, the decor was tacky and damaged. The place smelled bad. The ambiance was so uncomfortable. It felt like being in someone's dirty house who wasn't expecting company. Not AT ALL like the old Frankie's that was always clean and professional. The wait for service and food was long despite being the only customers waiting to order (the one other couple already had food). The menu options were limited. I ordered a cesar that was over-priced, limp, small, and flavorless. The person I was with ordered a steak salad that we literally both laughed at when it arrived. It was priced around $20 but was tiny and came with maybe four tiny thin slices of hideous steak. Literally worse quality than a fast food salad. I've given this place way more chances now than it earned and I'm officially done paying patronage to ownership that is clearly lazy and unprofessional. I heard these are not the same owners as the ones from 2015, which really shows.

Food was good. I ordered scallops. $22. And got 5 scallops on a bed of mashed peas. Spouse got a burger. It was ok. But same thing we could have gotten at appletrees for a fraction of the price. Server was really green and had a repeatably had to be ask for same thing multiple times.
