REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Newcastle, The Gate

Andrea (31 January 2007)

Ate at the restaurant on 16th January at lunch time, very quiet so expected quick efficient service and as with our previous visit to yours and other Frankie and Benny's, did not get it, 15 minutes wait for a bottle of wine, no cooler, and then 20 minutes till starter to be then told they did not have it, had to end up eating and running, the only thing that keeps us hoping for better service is the food, we have fortunately not been disappointed with that, but are reluctant to recommend the restaurant.

C. Carr (29 January 2007)

Visited the restaurant 29th January, planned on staying an hour max as had car parked, ended up there for over an hour and a half resulting in a car parking fine, the service was dreadful, the waitress forgot to order the drinks, so after waiting half an hour for her to take our order we reordered the drinks, finally the starter came and then the main meal, we sat with our dirty starter plates throughout the main meal.

I had ordered spaghetti bolognese, which had the smallest amount of bolognese sauce I have ever seen in my life, and my companion found bits of, what we think was paper, in his food. I am appalled with the service and food we received.
