Frankie's B Town Bistro - Burien

I absolutely adore Frankie's! Their food is consistently delicious and the owners are wonderful.

We were looking forward to another dinner at Frankie’s but in retrospect,I wish we had chosen another day. Valentines Day seemed to overwhelm both the staff and the kitchen. We arrived at our designated time and two hours passed before we got our entree. The Caesar Salads were $10.00 each and could have filled a small dessert plate. Tasty but not a good value. The Gorgonzola Gnocchis wee excellent. Our Server was MIA. And we finally got our check 3 hours after we arrived. We will try again though. I

We dined with a group of 9, which included 2 young children, and had a wonderful experience. Our server was attentive and the owners even took the time to personally visit our table and engage in conversation with us. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and we will certainly be returning in the future.

Service was odd. Got our appetizer order wrong. House salad and dressing was good though overloaded with bloated blackberries. Bread was more Hawaiian than Italian. Veal marsala (on special) was terrible and nothing like marsala. It was yellow rather than red and tasted like vinegar or lemon mixed in. Who puts lemon juice in marsala?

Frankie's B Town Bistro is not a place to dine if you want a quick meal and are in a hurry. Go to McDonald's. However, if you have the time and are looking for a wonderful dining experience I would highly recommend Frankie's The food is excellent and the staff delightful. And even better, Tuesday evening they sell their bottles of wine for 1/2 price. There's plenty of free parking on the street around and near the restaurant. The owner is usually there and is sincerely interested in you and your dining experience. You will not be disappointed in the selection of this restaurant, but be sure to allow sufficient time.
