REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Lenton
Saucery (5 January 2009)
We used to love going to this restaurant, the food was always displayed well, it tasted wonderful, the smells were enough to make you hungry, yet more recently the food has taken a turn for the worst. The steak was like shoe leather, the garlic bread might as well have been dipped in melted butter for how greasy it was, the children’s macaroni cheese tasted bland and like flour, my son will eat almost anything pasta based, however he point blankly refused to touch this. The décor is very tired and worn, I think this place has seen its best and is going through its worst. Fingers crossed they get back on track as they are a fantastic family restaurant and a good place for adults too. On a plus side my husband enjoyed the ribs and previously when I've had the pizza, they have never failed to please.
Rich (25 June 2008)
In all honesty I'm not sure why I ate there as I've only had bad experiences in F and B's around the country - the food wasn't great, everything that was served seemed to have come straight out of the microwave and the calzone was bland. The service was friendly but the food really lets this chain down – I think it could be so much better.

Featured Group Restaurant
Nando's - Nottingham Cornerhouse
With quality food, friendly staff, quick service and excellent value for money, Nando's is a great place to eat. Don't expect identikit, pre-fab restaurant interiors which are usually a staple of the larger chains; each restaurant is tailored to its local surroundings and customers, offering up a unique restaurant experience to go with the equally unique taste of legendary, Portuguese, Peri-Peri chicken.
