Amazing cocktails, we got a brown butter old fashioned and a gin and cucumber cocktail. Both phenomenal. The food was fantastic. Really recommend going and getting the kimchi fried chicken.

Probably the coolest vibes outside of the West Village—and it’s right in the heart of JC. Frankie’s is an effortlessly stylish Australian spot that feels like a hidden gem but delivers like a destination. Whether you’re trying to impress out-of-towners or a date, this place hits the mark. Drinks? Solid across the board. The Lovely Creature—served in a whimsical frog mug—is a spicy mezcal punch that feels tailor-made for a boat cruise or summer rooftop hang. But the standout is Let’s Stay Together—an unbelievable old fashioned that balances depth, smoothness, and just the right twist to make you rethink what an old fashioned can be. Food-wise, don’t skip the kimchi fried chicken. It’s crispy, punchy, and totally worthy of main dish status. Sit at the bar if you can—it’s the best seat in t

Tried half the menu! Kimchi fried chicken- everyone’s favorite Red pepper dip flatbread- insanely delicious Corn ribs- great for the table but only if you love corn Crab and corn fried rice- solid but wouldn’t order again. Flavor was underwhelming. Burger- fantastic. Meat pasta- pasta was undercooked but flavor was there Green curry- coconut and tasty

Tried this Aussie gem and it was a deliciously unique experience! The avo toast was fresh and vibrant, the Full Aussie platter hearty and satisfying. The Welsh rarebit stood out — perfectly poached eggs over sourdough with a rich Guinness spread that was bold and flavorful. Even the Vegemite toast, a first for us, was surprisingly tasty with its salty kick. Every dish brought something new to the table, offering an authentic taste of Australia in every bite. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore bold, comforting flavors!

How fantastic this restaurant was, was almost fantasy like. The tables were spotless, the staff was so kind, the food was great, full of taste and depth, and the music was excellent and set at a very reasonable volume. The bartender was so so kind and I couldn’t have appreciated the service more. The mocktails were fairly priced, and the entire restaurant was beyond spotless as far as cleanliness goes. They’re well priced, well staffed, and the food is great. What more can you even ask of them?
