An institution in the making


(That's Shanghai)
Updated: 2007-07-06 09:16



While many new restaurants appear to have more investor money than they
know what to do with, Frankie's is a rare case of funds well spent.

The staff, for instance, is refreshingly adept-management has clearly
taught them genuine hospitality by example. And though the luxurious
interior is sober enough for even the driest business dinner, inviting
details, such as the immaculate open kitchen and live pianist lend an
intimate, even romantic, ambience. But with celebrity chef Marco
Pierre-White's name on display, the cuisine is rightfully the center of
attention here. Our freshly-made ravioli with goat cheese and turnips
(RMB 68) was inspired. And another house recommendation, a tiramisu trio
(RMB 78), was equally well-advised.

In short, Frankie's has all of the hallmarks of an
institution-in-the-making; indeed, we expect the expansive dining room to
be fully booked in the near future.
