REVIEWS OF Frankie & Benny's New York Italian Restaurant & Bar - Poole
Gazwegian (16 May 2009)
You turn up, it's busy, if you've booked in advance you're seated pretty much on time, if not then grab a drink and wait for around 20 minutes and you're seated. The atmosphere is great, I love it! Loads going on - I think organized chaos is the best way to describe Frankie and Benny's - but you know what? It works. They have great music on the go all the time, if you're a Sinatra fan or music of that era then sit back and hum along. What I love is the way they let you know there's a birthday or some such celebration, the lights go down and happy birthday comes floating out of the speakers followed by congratulations. The staff are always friendly and they work hard so leave them a decent tip and let them know they're appreciated. The nosh is pretty decent and as far as I'm concerned, very good value for your hard earned money. We've also been down for brunch and I stupidly ordered the New England breakfast. Needless to say Sunday roast was off the menu at home that day, yum, it was good. We're a family and Frankie and Benny's in Poole - I should say the staff - have the knack of making you feel good and they ensure you have a good time whilst you're there. Our ten year old-to-be has asked for her birthday to be at Frankie and Benny's. Keep up the good work gang.
