This is the place to go for a special event, like anniversary, birthdays etc., Arrived at the door and got our coats hung up. Was greeted with nice baked bread from the morning with nice dip.
Started things off with the 'Tuna Tartare'. Very light and tasty... A must try for sure.. Also got the 'Seafood Cocktail'. The mixed seafood was sitting on top of a block of ice . My only complaint is wishing there was more shrimp, lobster pieces, and crab meat for the price I was paying...
Anywhooo the mains we got the St. Jacob's 3 way pork. It had crispy pork belly, and two other meats that were very tender when cutting it was effortless...I wished there was more of course, and my gf got the milk fed lamb which she enjoyed very much...
Desserts: Got the black plum to share and that was great as well...
Definitely a great place compared to other restaurants out there. Great service, price, atmosphere, and would definitely come back to this place. -

What a disappointment.
After more than a year, here we are, to have a romantic dinner but most important good food (or at least we hoped for that). Seating is available and the atmosphere still pleasant but the pleasure ceased to exist right there.
Appetizers are still good (especially the tuna tartar). But this time we wanted to have a real dinner and after brief appetizer experience went for the mains. The fresh bread is still there, as is the two-sips tasty soup in a little glass. However:
18$ Bolognese pasta is disastrous, tastes like it's from a can or something. And it's over-spiced on top of that. Bolognese sauce is never very spicy, this is obviously some "fusion". And on top of that the server tried to charge it 25$, explaining that "the version in the menu is a small one". Pure fraud, so he had to go back and put in the correct value. They probably think they can get over it since the clientele is "rich, so they will not care to pay 7$ more".
32$ fish is *extremely* small portion, on a bead of corn (did you just say corn??? Yes, no other vegetables, just the good ol' lousy corn from a can). There were 2 tiny little pieces of scallop as well. It's both half-tasty and laughable at the same time... for 32$ you certainly expect more. At least a hint of a real vegetable.
Ah well... I guess this is the new trend in town - small menus, small portions, and high prices. Gotta pay for the rent, so let's rip off people. Thank you, but I'm going to spend hard earned money somewhere else. -

I was very disappointed with this restaurant, mostly as a result of lousy service. The first problem is they apparently reserve each table for the full night. So, despite a table being booked for 8pm, they refuse to allow earlier reservations. It took a lot of convincing to get a 6pm reservation with the promise we would leave by 8pm sharp. The next problem is they don't open until 6pm on weeknights. When we arrived at 5:50pm, there was another couple waiting who knocked on the door. The hostess came out and rudely stated they didn't open at six, and she would not let us in from the cold weather because they were having a staff meeting. A more courteous response would be to have allowed the five people waiting to wait in the inside vestibule until 6pm. Essentially this restaurant has all of the pretentiousness of a fine French restaurant, without that quality of food.
While the food was fairly good, it was far from outstanding. The amuse bouches we got were mediocre. The tuna tartare was excellent, but the accompanying crackers were too salty. The lobster was good, but again far from outstanding - it was fairly bland.
Overall, I will certainly not coming back to this restaurant as the service (or at least these bad experiences) has permanently coloured my opinion. -

Hello Frank,
If only my kitchen was like yours!
I had such a wonderful evening!
Five star service and food that was perfection.
I forgot to make a reservation at Woodlot and well, we were hungry and we didn't want to wait an hour. Frank's was just down the street and even though they were busy, they made room for us! =)
* Bready Bread*
The olive tapenade was freaking delicious served with Chianti loaf and baby brioche. I thought the sweet brioche was perfect with the salty olives.
*Amuse Bouche*
I didn't love the chilled potato-leek soup. I felt like I was drinking salad dressing... However I loved the goat cheese croquette...deep fried, soft and melty on the inside and oh-so-yummy!
I want more! I love fried cheese. =(
*Seafood Cocktail ($15)*
Cool presentation.... ha, because the seafood is served on a block of ice with a banana leaf! Big chunks of fresh lobster, shrimp, and crab meat! I was worried that I would be disappointed with the size of the serving... but I wasn't!
*Sorbets -- Super tart and limey (sour face)
*Elk Loin ($34)*
This main is a good meal on a cooler evening. It's hearty and heavy!
The elk loin was tender and juicy. I did wish there was more foie. =( There is a quarter sized piece tucked under a morsel of beet ravioli. The chestnuts-and-foie-gras jus was spectacular though.
*Molten Chocolate Cake ($8)*
I didn't love the cake. It was a bit dry... and not... molten enough.
The cherry sorbet was a good pairing with the chocolate... the flavors are like a black forest cake.. (But I sort of don't like black forest cake).
The food is four star.
But they treat you like royalty and I loved eating here!
The waitstaff took wonderful care of us! On the way out, all the cooks turned and smiled and said goodbye!
And you get free homemade mini chocolate truffles?!
Five stars! -

I was really excited to try this place and, after reading the mixed reviews online, had a good idea of what to order.
Like so many restaurants on the Little Italy strip, the setting and ambience was great. Service was attentive and friendly. But the food was forgettable.
The little house-baked breads were warm and fresh, but bland. I ordered a salad which had way too much cheese on it. I also found it to be over dressed. The lobster dish had a really lovely broth, but was so herby that you could barely taste the lobster meat.
All of the little between course soups and spoons were fine, but again, not really worth eating.
I noticed a lot of half eaten plates at the tables around us, so maybe it was just an off night or a case of being overhyped, but I think I'll try some where else next time.
Note: there is only one vegetarian option on the menu - a mozzarella appetizer -

Frank's is a great place for a special night out. You know you're in for a treat when you could order anything on the menu and be happy. That's how I felt when I saw Frank's menu, and what I ordered made me happy.
The staff is excellent at Frank's. Everyone is friendly, attentive and extremely knowledgeable about the menu.
I found the most difficult part of ordering was on the appetizer menu. I could have ordered anything on the menu and been happy. Since summer is almost over, I chose to order something that won't be fresh much longer - the tomato and mozzarella salad. It was stacked high and drizzled with balsamic sauce, and very pleasing to the eye and the taste buds. Thumbs up!
My entree was the elk, wrapped in foie gras and topped with truffles. To say it was rich is an understatement. It was decadent and delicious and I was happy to have two friends to help me enjoy it. This also meant I got to try their entrees: the fish special and the steak. Both were delicious, but I really recommend the elk!
Every bite of food I ate was really good at Frank's. from the amuse bouche, to the sorbet palate cleanser, the fresh bread, all of it make Frank's well worth it. Call now and make a reservation. Apparently you have to wait a month for a Saturday night reservation, but go on a Sunday. You'll love it! -

In preparation for any trip to Toronto, I always research the latest hot spots of deliciousness. Toronto is teaming with incredible restos and I must indulge at least once or twice on my yearly trip. This trip was just me and my Dad so knowing our savory meats and potatoes kind of taste, I honed in on Frank's Kitchen for our first night out.
My parents started the family trend of sitting at the bar as it's always fun to talk to the bartenders and meet people at the bar. Especially when on vaca. I loved the ambiance of Frank's Kitchen. Pristine, polished and sophisticated. As we nuzzled up to the small bar, our eyes grew big as we eyed the plates to our left. Yes, we had selected the right place.
We ordered a bottle of wine and were greeted with fresh baked bread. Chef/owner Frank Parhizgar spends four hours every morning baking fresh bread for the evening. I could taste all the work that went into each piece. Delicious! The bread was and served with two tantalizing smears of roasted sun-dried tomatoes and olive tapenade. Wow. That would have been a meal in and of itself!
The Chef sent out an incredible amuse bouche! What a surprise! Very classy, Chef Parhizgar, keep 'em coming!!!
While not terrible hungry, the milk-fed Ontario lamb - rack, loin, braised shoulder & grilled sausage in a Syrah reduction with ratatouille & white bean puree kept winking at me. F*ck it. I had to have it. When the dish arrived, I was taken aback and speechless, as this work of art took my breath away. This picture does not do this dish any form of justice. Each element was gingerly placed on the plate to create this masterpiece and there was intense flavor in every bite.
My Dad ordered a charctuterie plate. Shocker. Loved the colorful pickled vegetables and the pate served alongside it with more fresh baked bread! We asked for more bread to finish off the plate, and at first the waitress said they only make a certain amount of bread daily and that if everyone were to have more, Chef Parhizgar would have to bake for six hours a day. Seriously? Don't make me feel bad for asking for more bread. I want to respect the Chef as he spent four hours slaving over this impeccable bread, but, come on! I want more bread!!! I'm sure someone else didn't eat their fair share :) She did find us two more pieces so we were thrilled.
While stuffed, I was not leaving without trying a dessert. The trio dessert special sounded sensational. There was a chocolate lava cake, homemade cherry sorbet and a milkshake!
The night would have been perfect if our waitress was a bit more friendly. She had a bit of an attitude, which I could have done without, and her way of handling our ask for more bread was a turnoff.
Other than her, I highly highly recommend indulging at Frank's Kitchen if you ever get to Toronto! -

I've read many positive reviews on Frank's Kitchen, so I decided to come here for dinner one night. It was pretty difficult to get a reservation to this place, and you usually need to book more than a week ahead (probably 2-3 weeks ahead if it's for the weekend).
The bread and amuse-bouche were nice, but not extraordinary in my opinion. The first pasta we had was the lobster ravioli in a basil, olive oil, and fresh tomato broth. There were generous chunks of sweet and delicious lobster meat in every pasta pocket. The tomato broth was light and delicate, which really allowed the lobster to shine.
For myself, I chose the crisp gnocchi in a gorgonzola cream with pancetta. I usually find gnocchi to be rather heavy, but in this case, I enjoyed chewing the potato dumpling and their crispy, pan-fried exterior. I'm usually not a fan of gorgonzola cheese, but in this case the sauce wasn't overwhelming.
For dessert, the black plum tarte tatin was quite nice, though I wasn't a fan of the Chai latte ice cream. Complimentary chocolate truffles ended the meal nicely.
Overall, service was very good, and the food was also pretty good. That said, nothing really wowed me, and I've had better meals elsewhere for similar prices. -

I feel like Frank's has changed the face of College St. It was getting a little stale, and apart from the great standby, Sidecar, I was starting to feel like there was no where left to go to eat in Little Italy. Frank's food is perfectly prepared, the menu is enticing, and the service is excellent.
I had a wonderfully prepared lamb dish the first time I ate at Frank's and a fantastic pork dish the second.
And these folks are generous. I love the standard amuse bouche. The overflowing breads and spreads were so filling and delicious it made me almost not want to eat my main. The second time I went I ordered the cheese and charcuterie plate which came with such a generous portion of cheese that I couldn't believe the charged so little for it. Sadly, I was too full for dessert.
I recommend it to all my friends for a great meal out. I can't wait to go back. -

Frank's Kitchen is a Mediterranean restaurant located in Little Italy. This place has been receiving tremendous praise and local foodies are raving about it constantly. There is no reason why I shouldn't pay them a visit, so Jennifer and I walked in on a Sunday evening to explore their menu. Surprisingly there was a table available so we quickly sat down. He told us that people usually have to book several weeks in advance in order to dine at Frank's Kitchen, so we were "lucky". But the question is - were we really that lucky? We shall see ;)
Indeed their menu looked enticing and we were both very excited about what awaited! Our complimentary breads were delicious though slightly too hard. One was foccacia and I don't remember the name of the other one :) These artisan breads came with a tapenade of black olives, green olives, and roasted red peppers. They were beautifully presented in canal shapes; not something you see enough in restaurants! Next, our waiter brought us a plate of delectable hors d'œuvres. The shot of cucumber gazpacho was fresh and refreshing, although I'm not a fan of cucumbers. The goat cheese fritter (or what I assumed to be goat cheese), coupled with a spring salad of green peas, diced tomatoes and onions, was absolutely sensational. They're off to a good start, aren't they? ;) The rest of the evening could only get better... or so we thought.
My entrée was a Grilled Whole Lobster with Spinach Tortellini Garnish in a Lemon Butter Sauce with Chorizo Fennel Salad and Sauteed Spinach ($31). A whole freakin' lobster, who wouldn't want that? Let's just say I didn't enjoy this dish even one bit. Parts of the lobster were overly salty although the lobster itself was fresh. I don't know what it is about the salad and spinach, but both the texture and taste were fairly unpleasant. I had to chew them for a while and they just didn't taste great. The spinach tortellini were okay but not amazing. The lemon butter sauce was nice and light but that alone definitely wasn't enough to save this dish.
Jennifer had the Elk Loin wrapped in Foie Gras and Truffles with Heirloom Beets in a Chestnut & Foie Gras Jus ($34). I thought this was much better than mine, though Jennifer wasn't too thrilled about it. The elk had a rough and dry texture, a little gamey but sweeter than beef. Elk is a rare ingredient and it was a tasty change to the everyday beef. The foie gras and truffles I liked of course, and they went well with the elk. I really enjoyed the chestnut & foie gras jus because they were very flavourful and delicious. The jus tied everything together and this was a well-composed dish.
Usually my favourite part of the meal, dessert :) Our waiter sounded very enthusiastic when he was telling us about the White Peach Tarte Tatin, so we decided to try it! The peaches were great but it would've been better if the skin wasn't left on. The tart itself was way too heavy and buttery; we were sharing this and we couldn't even finish it! The home-made Chai Latte on top was what I liked most about this dessert as the flavour was definitely there! It also acted as a nice contrast to the warm and heavy tarte tatin.
Jennifer said she would give Frank's Kitchen 2.5/5 stars. As for me, I'd give them 3 stars at best. Sure, the restaurant was romantic and lovely, the waiter was attentive and patient, but the food never wowed me. I wasn't impressed with their food and to me, that's the most important element to an excellent dining experience. Next... :) -

Celebrated my 24th birthday here with a fabulous Sunday dinner. Excellent service. Excellent food.
Started with oysters Rockefeller with bacon and spinach. They make fresh bread from scratch, as well as all menu items. Everything was prepared to our liking and included great bite sized plates in between our meals.
I enjoyed a 12 oz strip loin steak cooked medium-rare and served with Parmesan frites.
Overall the experience was great and very enjoyable. -

If you are looking for great ambiance, wonderful service and fabulous food, look no further.
We were at Frank's Kitchen last Friday night with a couple of friends and we all loved it! The hot and cold amuse bouches, sorbets and truffles at the end were such a pleasant and delicious surprise! The mini brioche and homemade breads served with an amazing green-olive tapenade were so good we asked for a second serving.
For appetizers, my bf and I shared the seared foie gras with quail confit and the seafood cocktail with shrimp, lobster and crab. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was even better.
For the mains, my girlfriend and I shared the lobster and the lamb (prepared three ways). The lamp chops and lobster were cooked perfectly and the portions were reasonable. My bf had the fish special (I think it was halibut) but the portion size was quite small and was probably the least impressive dish we had that night (although it was highly promoted by our waiter who otherwise did not steer us wrong).
Frank's Kitchen did a great job making our evening very special. It is a foodie's delight. We will be coming back for sure! -

Frank's Kitchen? When my Yelp friend suggested that we go there, I have no clue where I am going and what to expect.. but I am always IN!
I didn't realize how popular this restaurant is and reservations seems to be necessary.. when we walked in and the hostess told us that they were fully booked and I just giving her that sad looking eyes.. she was nice enough to get us a table...even I dressed like a casual yogi.. +1 star!
Love all the small touch and attention to little details all through our meals. Our waiter was informative, attentive and all the energy!
My waiter giving me the thumb up with my selection of:
Elk Loin wrapped in Foie Gras and Truffles with Heirloom Beets in a Chestnut & Foie Gras Jus ($34)
- I was looking for my foie gras and the waitress pointed out it was the little quarter size piece hiding somewhere under the ravioli :)
- Elk was light and lean.. cooked medium rare.. as the waiter suggested was quite tender..
- The whole presentation reminds me of French Country Style cooking which the freshest ingredients would be used
White Peach Tarte Tatin ($8)
- So buttery and rich... for some might be heaven.. for me all I think of is the calories count... reminds me of eating a Super sized Danish cookies
Even we only order a main but we were served the hot and cold amuse bouches, palate-cleansing sorbets and gloriously creamy truffles at the end. +1 star! And all house made!!!
I really enjoyed my dining experience at Frank's Kitchen and I think its concept of sourcing their ingredients locally is wonderful and everything was prepared in house... and a reasonable price?! Awesome!Listed in: A Day in Little Italy!

Frank's Kitchen deserves its place in nearly every Top 10 list in Toronto.
We managed to get the last reservation on a Friday at the bar. It's a good thing we did, because Jessica's service was the best I've ever had in this city. She was informative, attentive, descriptive, and clearly passionate. I'd definitely request sitting with her again.
The food we ordered exceeded our expectations, but at Frank's, it's all about the unexpected (or more accurately, the un-ordered)
The artisan breads, baked in-house, came with a variety of spreads and olives. The hot and cold amuse bouche were outstanding. The sorbet tasted like lemon-lime-tangerine and was refreshing and palette cleansing, just as it was intended to be. Lastly, the dark chocolate truffle that came with the bill was the perfect way to end a memorable meal.
What we did actually order was also amazing.
I started with a beautifully marbled, melt-in-your mouth beef carpaccio. It was topped with a generous amount of shaved truffle and foie gras torchon (that was divine spread onto sweet brioche). What really made the dish was actually what sounded most peculiar about it: the French bean salad. The barely-blanched, still-crisp, finely-diced beans added a lightness to all the indulgence. I highly recommend trying this dish. My friend loved the arugula salad with mortadella, pistachio and roasted figs that he ordered. I took a bite, but was too caught up in the carpaccio to actually remember what the salad tasted like.
The lobster ravioli in tomato broth was lovely. The pasta was hand-rolled, and the ravioli were bursting with nothing but big chunks of lobster meat. They were floating in a delicate tomato broth that packed much more tomato flavour than you'd expect. It was light and refreshing and the perfect follow up to the rich carpaccio appetizer. What also helped was the complimentary glass of white wine given to me, because according to Jessica, "it goes too well with the ravioli to not have it". It was a great and most appreciated pairing. My friend had the elk loin wrapped in foie gras and truffles and said it was absolutely delicious.
Since everything we ordered completely over delivered, we thought dessert was a good idea. Unfortunately, the plum tart we chose was too sweet and too sticky for my likings, but the chai ice cream it was topped with was really fantastic.
The combination of outstanding service, impeccably executed food, and a warm ambiance, makes Frank's stand out from any other restaurant in this city and a truly memorable experience. I simply cannot wait to go back. -

Loved it! What a great addition to the neighbourhood!
Our server was great. Really attentive and informative - I love when servers take the time to tell you about the food and the care that went into making it.
Also loved the free amuse bouche' that were showered upon us, including
a cheese croquette with cucumber dill gazpacho, a lemon basil sorbet, and really rich chocolate truffle.
We started with baked Oysters Rockerfeller sauced in hollandaise - seriously yum! My companion had the lobster ravioli that seemed like it was literally stuffed with freshly shelled lobster. I had the striploin with foie gras and a huge bowl of parmesan crisps - these were a bit of a surprise because I was expecting something more akin to a frico, although I see now how this meant fries...
Overall this was a really fun foodie night out.Listed in: Dinner dates

After several attempts to try to get a spot at some of the restaurants on College, we began to check out menus of places we had not visited before.
As we were looking at the menu and deciding whether we would try another new restaurant after my horrible "restaurant adventures" this past week, the waiter approached us and gave us a bit of info on the chef and the fact that they had only been opened for 4 weeks. He was so genuine we decided to follow him inside. He quickly rushed and filled our glasses with Cucumber Water, which was a nice twist to the ever so popular Lemon Water.
The decor was warm and inviting and definitely romantic, since we were celebrating my SO's birthday it was appropriate.
The menu is limited with a few items including appetizers, pasta and mains. The waiter informed us of the specials and explained some of the menu items, including the fact that the pasta is homemade.
This is a special occasions place when it comes to their pricing.
My bf went for the Catch of the Day - Sea Bass, his description word for word "it tastes like something, it has a fish tank taste". I don't think you have to know fish that well to know that a fish tank taste is not exactly a taste one craves or enjoys.
I went for the Squid Ink pasta, I was informed that the chef had added extra shrimps because I did not want the scallops, I had a total of 4 (most likely defrosted) shrimps. The pasta was cooked well and the sauce was average.
There was only about 3 other tables other than us in the restaurant so I had a hard time understanding why our dinner was taking that long. They did manage to keep us busy with "special" appetizers on the house that we later agreed tasted better than our actual meals.
For desert we shared the Vanilla Creme Brulee, which tasted exactly as its title, nothing special there.
Overall rating, doubt I will revisit. -

A few weeks ago, we tried out this restaurant for the first time. We actually weren't expecting much because of the standard eateries on this strip of College don't usually leave much of an impression other than the location/scene/patio etc.
The service was very attentive, knowledgable, and friendly. They brought out an amuse bouche from the chef, which was a delightful cold soup and the gesture pleasantly surprised us. There were affordable wines on the menu, both by the glass and the bottle, another surprise! I had the chicken supreme and my date had the gnocchi. We basically shared with each other and both dishes were fantastic - balanced flavours and perfect textures.
It's my new favourite place to eat on College! -

I have to say that I was surprised with how good this restaurant was. My friend and I were looking for a place to grab a quick bite and settled quickly on Frank's kitchen.
I had a caprese salad and a trio of pork and both were delicious. They were also reasonably priced. On top of that, we got a couple extras from the chef including a shot of dill gaspacho.
My only quip with this place was the service. It was friendly but a little slow at times. Other than that, the dining experience was fantastic. -

Eating the food at Frank's Kitchen is akin to a sexual experience. The chef obviously knows how to take control of your taste buds. There are already many Yelps on some of the highlights of my meal (carpaccio, gnocchi, chicken supreme, the fresh breads, the desserts: everything was as good as it gets). I just want people to know that this is a true foodie experience and the meal, the server and the ambiance were all a delight.

a low-key feel with a low-key atmosphere. I'm 40 and i was the youngest person there. i was impressed with the menu and the quality of ingredients. the steak was dry aged and cooked properly on a high-end broiler. but it was local canadian beef which simply does not have the quality of texture and fat as usda does. the lobster was excellent. steamed then broiled. very tasty. the fish platter with oysters, arctic char, scallops and crab was delicious. it was a nice meal and the value was reasonable.

Excellent food, awesome service, and perfect atmosphere. We went to Frank's Kitchen for the first time yesterday and loved our experience. The staff take a lot of pride in their work, which reminded me of restaurants in parts of Italy. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will also definitely go there again!
