frankie we salute you!

downtown · restaurant

we land at Frankie's and order more than we probably should — the cauliflower wings are non-negotiable, and whatever the kitchen is running as a special is usually worth the risk. the vibe here is relaxed enough that we can actually hear each other, which after the bar is a good gear shift. we take our time, because the show back at Dorothy's isn't going anywhere.

# Date Planning Guide: Frankie We Salute You! **Best for:** Casual dates, second dates, or impressing someone with adventurous taste—this place wins over both vegans and carnivores, so dietary differences won't be awkward. **Timing:** Hit it on a Wednesday night for the legendary cauliflower wings, or any evening when you want creative, flavorful food without the pretension; service is genuinely warm and attentive (reviewers specifically praised server Sabrina). **Vibe:** Relaxed and welcoming with a focus on quality over fuss—the kind of spot where you can actually talk and enjoy each other's company while eating something that tastes like the kitchen actually cares. **Heads up:** No major warnings about noise or crowds, but it's popular enough that reservations are probably smart, especially weekends.
