Most of what we tried was delicious! Only wish the short ribs were a little more tender. Otherwise we had a great dinner. Restaurant ambience is nice and it was a great stop after a day of shopping in Assembly Row. Highly recommend the Pumpkin soup! It was amazing!

Went in August for my husband's birthday with another couple. Very disappointed. Had been to this restaurant many times, but something has changed. There were many empty tables, the food was "OK" and the amounts on each plate were very small -- the pasta in particular. I reviewed it on another site, and the restaurant sent me a note stating they would look into it and fix any issues. Never heard back again.I had noted in the reservation that it was my husband's birthday. Nothing was done about it other than a "Happy Birthday" from the server. No candles, not free dessert. I am not going to pay the high prices again. Sad, because I was a big fan of Le Espalier in Boston years ago, and until the last visit, was a fan of Farm to Frank. For high prices, high value is a must.

View kitchen prep shaving carrots on mandolin not wearing gloves;sampling the carrots then arriving employee coming into kitchen shaking bare hands then continuing to shave carrots without washing hands or wearing gloves. Ordered a salad and didn't eat it because of shaved carrots . No offense but not sanitary. Uncooked food prep should be done with gloves.

Entire staff was pleasant and attentive. Excellent mix of flavors in the food. Beautiful presentations. 4 star instead of 5 because I'm a big eater and would have liked bigger portions.

Frank has a beautiful space and the staff are amazing. The food is fresh tasting and is truly a farm to table experience. The best clam chowder I've had. The only critique is the jerk chicken is not jerk. It is a perfectly cooked rotisserie chicken. The flavor profile has zero resemblance to traditional jerk and absolutely no heat.

Wow - If I lived here again - THIS would be my favorite place to become a regular. How lucky are ya'll in Beverly?? The fried cauliflower is the bomb!Vegetarian options: So many vegetarian options - fried cauliflower, charred onion dip with eggplant, burrata salad with grilled peaches and house made rhubarb dressing (they make their own rhubarb vinegar!)

I am not in the correct tax bracket to go to these kinds of restaurants, but my job was treating the whole office, so I had an opportunity to experience fine dining for a night.The appetizers were hit or miss for me. the bread was amazing, but the toasted cauliflower was kind of underwhelming, not a lot of seasoning.For the main course, I got the Black Bass special, which tasted like a pretty standard fish fillet to me.For dessert, there was a fancy name for something that ended up just being chocolate ice cream with Brownie in it. Still tasted great, just felt like something you could get at the store.I think that sums up my experience here. you're paying for the experience, for the ambiance, not the food. several items I got tasted pretty average, or like I could have gotten them elsewhere much cheaper.

Amazing food, superior service, and relaxing decor make this a must try. Presentation of everything from apps to deserts was outstanding.
Yesterday we had an unsatisfactory visit to this restaurant.Our appetizers took 45 minutes to arrive, salads 1 hour, and entrees nearly 1.5 hours. There was no explanation from our server about why this was taking so long.Additionally, this restaurant is very overpriced. Food is tasty and high quality, but not worth the prices. The cheapest draft beer is $12?I recommend looking elsewhere in Beverly for a nice meal.

Frank is a terrific restaurant in a stylish space. The cocktails are inventive and tasty, and the food is first rate. It is unpretentious and truly offers a casual high end dining experience. Our service is the reason for a lower rating. It was extremely slow and inconsistent on a night when Frank was busy, though not especially crowded. In spite of that, we will happily return.

Boston prices for a Beverly restaurant. Service was inconsistent, $40 fish was cold. Steak comes with a enormous salad. Starter bread wasn’t available. The experience wasn’t terrible, but not great either. If the prices are reduced by 30% it’s on point.Parking: Hard to find parking in front of the venue

This was our first visit for dinner and it was an overall great experience. We started with the whipped Ricotta appetizer which was delicious, followed by the burger for my husband and the swordfish for me and we both loved our meals. We followed that up with might be the best carrot cake I have ever had. All the wait staff was so nice and attentive. Our waiter was young and not that informed but he was so nice and we have definitely shifted our expectations since covid with being sympathetic to the struggles for restaurants getting help, so having someone nice and attentive works for us :). We loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and bar and it just had a great vibe with such a wonderful range of people of all ages. We will definitely be going back and trying out this place for breakfast and lunch.
