Frankie's

Frankie’s stands out as one of my more memorable dining experiences in recent months, offering an atmosphere that strikes a thoughtful balance between elegance and ease. The room feels refined yet relaxed, and the service is genuinely outstanding—attentive, gracious, and deeply professional throughout the evening. We started with a shrimp appetizer that was beautifully executed, showcasing a lively range of flavors and a confident sense of balance. For the main course, I ordered the grilled trout. The fish itself was tender, delicately cooked, and full of flavor; however, the presence of several bones slightly disrupted the experience. Upon mentioning this, the staff responded with exceptional generosity and care, placing the trout on the house and offering a complimentary dessert of our

We had the most lovely Valentine’s Day dinner at Frankie’s! From the moment we walked in, the quaint urban Vermont farmhouse atmosphere felt warm and inviting — the perfect blend of cozy yet elevated. Reservations were easy, and we were seated promptly for our special evening. The steak for two special was truly outstanding — cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. We also enjoyed a couple of their hand-crafted cocktails, which were creative, flavorful, and perfectly matched to the meal. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the overall vibe of the restaurant made our night feel extra special. If you're in the area I would highly recommended grabbing a table here.

We recently made reservations to take one of our out-of-town guests here for dinner, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. Our reservation was for 7:30 p.m., and by the time we arrived, the restaurant was already in full swing. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, yet still comfortable enough for great conversation. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated — a smooth start that set the tone for a wonderful evening. As new residents in Vermont — having recently made the big move from Portland, Oregon, where the food scene is vibrant and full of devoted foodies — we’ve been eager to explore what our new home state has to offer. This restaurant did not disappoint! It’s clear that Vermont has its own unique charm when it comes to dining, and this place is a perfect example of tha

I just had the most incredible meal at Frankie’s!!! Their menu is definitely always rotating, but I got the clams (a must if available), the pumpkin ravioli, the shishito peppers, and the cinnamon creamy affogato & oh my…. I eat in a lot of nice restaurants and this one is now towards the top of my list of favorites!!! I drank their Frankie’s Negroni & the most delicious Beaujolais to accompany! The staff were so kind, friendly and beautiful! Huge s/o to Max, the bar manger & Jeff!! Very cool guys behind the bar, that truly made my experience!! Especially as someone dining solo! Keep it up! Can’t wait to come back :) cheers!

Our two sit down meals in Burlingtion were here and Hen of the Woods. This was just as good as Hen of the Woods with similar positive energy. I guess there was some behind the scenes drama at Hen according to reddit threads my partner read. We got there a half hour early after returning from our day trip to Montreal. Front of the house handled it with aplomb, after initially telling us we would have to wait the half hour (bluntly, lol) we were seated 10 minutes later. Service was great, they had the waiter/server split that is typical of well run restaurants. Like Hen, Frankie's faced the challenge of a farm to table dining in a New England winter with verve and vigor. The savory cabbage was nothing short of spectacular. Any visit here should require visits to both places. Final n
