I often measure a restaurant's quality by the care they put into the simplest dishes. An Italian restaurant should be able to produce great spaghetti. At Frankie's my spaghetti was served undrained, creating about a one-fourth cup pool of water on the plate and of course, greatly diluting the sauce. yuuk. Our server wasn't attentive and didn't check back. I managed to drain the water to one side by propping up the other side of the plate on my knife handle. Still, not good. When the server presented the check (!) she noticed the water and said they must have gotten in a hurry in the kitchen. She offered dessert when she should have removed the dinner charge. It didn't leave us with a very good feeling about dining there again.
Pros: Decent inexpensive wine
Cons: see review
