REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Boldon

Mario (24 August 2008)

On Saturday my wife and I decided to go out for a meal. We had arranged for a baby sitter to look after our children and decided to go for a meal at the Frankie and Benny’s restaurant. We arrived at the restaurant at 20:15hrs and were seated for 20:20hrs. We proceeded to order our meal, which consisted of one starter and two main courses. The starter arrived and was fine. At 21:10hrs our main courses arrived, I had ordered steak and tiger prawns and my wife ordered steak strips. I proceeded to eat one of the tiger prawns and found that they were stone cold; I raised this to the attention of the staff serving us who offered to replace the prawns. Then my wife complained to me that her main meal was also cold, at this point I tried my main meal, which was also very cold, the chips were all stuck together in one clump as if they had been standing cooked for a while, the steaks were burnt, the mushrooms and onion rings were also stone cold. When the member of staff returned with the prawns I made her aware that our whole meal was cold and that it was not acceptable to us. The member of staff who was serving us happened to be the duty manager for the establishment; she asked me what I wanted her to do? I replied that it was not acceptable that we sat for 45 minutes waiting for our main course, then to receive it cold. I asked her to take away the attempt of a meal that was served to my wife and I and we would pay for the starter and our drinks and leave as our night was now ruined.
