REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Gloucester
Carol (10 August 2008)
We went there on Saturday and the place itself was okay. The hostess that showed us to our table was lovely, polite and helpful. We bought our drinks at the bar and didn't have a very long wait for a table for five. We had a young child with us and chose from the children’s menu, no drink was offered, the meal itself was very dry and no sweet was offered either. We felt the waitress we had was very grumpy. The meals for the rest of us were slapped on the table, 'everything alright' was an after thought. The food tasted nice but the presentation was appalling. My husband had steak with tiger prawns and we had to hunt for the prawns – it looked more like a shrimp. It was not value for money either. I would not go back again.
Food lover (7 January 2008)
I found the restaurant itself very warm and welcoming. We were quickly shown to our seats. It wasn't very busy when we (a group of five) turned up on a Sunday. We gave our drinks order and had quite a long wait, before it arrived. Because of this we called over a waitress to take our food order. Some time later a waitress politely told us they were out of one of our meals, and walked away without giving us a menu to select an alternative. So we had to call another waitress over to give us a menu. We chose an alternative and the food came along reasonably quickly after that. Food was ok - nothing special though for the price. We got the bill and found out the meal we originally wanted was in the bill along with its replacement. We called over a waitress to sort it out and she came back with the meal taken off but another meal from another table put on so the bill was more than the first. Our third bill was correct however. The waiters and waitresses spent a lot of time huddled together chatting and it was difficult to get their attention. Overall - nice place, ok food, but the service needs a bit of work.
