    We had the best first time experience here! From right when we walked in, we felt so welcomed. 5 star Claire, our waitress, was the sweetest! She was always checking on us and and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We can’t wait to come back and will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family. A true 5-star experience all around!

    We had a girls night out with dinner and a show. All five of us agreed that it is one of the best places in Lexington to eat. We loved the atmosphere and music. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! We’ll be going back soon.

    We have always enjoyed the food, music, and ambiance of Frank & Dino's. And we are delighted to see Franck as the new Maitre 'D ! The entire staff is fantastic- we had friends from Atlanta with us- they were very impressed! We will be back!!

    Service was ok. Music was great and atmosphere. Food was ok but a little pricey for what you get. Happy hour is the time to go.

    Not sure whether I'll go to Frank & Dino's again. The food was good, but a bit overpriced. The service was very well-mannered, but a bit slow. The sound system was great, but the volume was too high. The saxophonist was very good and it is a nice touch to have some live music mixed with the recorded music. The furnishings were tasteful, but our table was placed at the head of the main service path so it was quite busy.
