I appreciated Frankie's for what it was - a modern classic Tiki bar. The decor was spot-on, the drinks were classic and well done They went as far as to have a TV at the bar playing classic old movies. But my personal preference is to eat while I drink and they didn't serve any food. We went on a random week night, there was a fair number of people there but only one bartender. She was a bit overworked to be very personable. There was no waitress service, you ordered at the bar and took it back to your table. The place was a little too dark for my taste and the patrons were all just drinking quietly at their tables. It would probably be more fun on a weekend. We went to Golden Tiki on the same night. It was busier, brighter, noisier. The waitress was attentive and friendly, the food and drinks were good. Not classic Tiki at all but we still had a better time there.
