REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Bolton
Frans (4 November 2010)
I'm surprised at the negative reviews of this restaurant. I've been there many times, normally in the less busy hours in afternoon, like I prefer, and I've had good service and better food. Particularly their burgers are simply the best in town!
Marcey (22 July 2008)
My partner and I booked half a day off work to go for a nice meal, arrived at 2pm and stood at the bar. We could only see one young male waiter rushing around and he said he would be with us as soon as he could. I assume the general manager came over and sat us down and asked us what we wanted to drink and walked away. Ten minutes later and still waiting for our drink, the waiter came over and asked us again what we wanted to drink; he was very polite and helpful and bought our drinks, then we ordered our food. The potato skins were cold and dry, the main meal of steak was cold, the jacket potato was hard and the king prawns were dry. The pasta dish was dry and looked like it had been heated up, we could only see one waiter serving the whole time and was quite busy. He was trying his best, in all the time we were there the general manager cleaned a few glasses and filled one pepper pot and watched him struggle as another member of staff wiped one table and moved a bunch of balloons. We paid the bill and to be honest the service from the young waiter was pristine and better than the food and the whole visit. We complained and he said he was very sorry that I didn’t enjoy my meal. We got the receipt and as I walked out asked a lady who I would address a complaint to and she happened to be the general manager and I expressed how disappointed I was with the service and she just looked at me blank and didn’t say anything. Thanks to the waiter for making our meal as pleasant as it could have been.

It can't be every restaurant that can claim to have had an elephant as one of the star attractions at its opening, but Zouk Manchester did. Alright, so it was a baby elephant and it was on the stage ...
