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

A Barlow (28 December 2009)

My daughter and 13 of her friends spent lunch there today. It was a very busy service, but even so, they were well attended to; albeit a bit slower than some might enjoy due to the large amount of customers. The food and atmosphere was very good and they presented my daughter with a birthday cake, dimmed the lights and played the music - the works. A very good place to go and really quite reasonably priced.

Tanya (18 November 2008)

A group of us have been going to Frankie and Benny’s since it opened. We have always enjoyed our meals, and even said as we spend money there nearly every week we may as well take shares out in the company. Since October 2008 I don't know what’s changed. Has the head chef gone, or are there different managers? Our last two meals haven't been up to their usual standard. The soup was cold and had to be returned, and the garlic bread was burnt as well as the chicken dishes. The service appears slower and the atmosphere has changed as well. We've decided to go else where now.
