In a word .... FLAWLESS. FRANK AND SHAWN HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! The attention to detail is unsurpassed. The food amazing and the space is gorgeous! The bread service and amuse bouche are a welcomed and refined beginning to an impressive experience. Each dish is a work of art. Frank makes some of the pottery himself to help serve his creations exactly as he intended. The ceviche is perfectly balanced and each component shines through. The lobster is out of this world! The fish with chorizo is delicate yet robust in flavour. And then there's the venison perfectly cooked with each accoutrement lending flavour yet allowing the star protein to shine through. the front of house caters to your every need. Cocktails are equally as thoughtful and impeccably executed. The wine list is fantastic. Incredible wines by the glass normally only offered by the bottle a great pairing experience. Can't wait to go back! read more

We have an amazing meal that everything is absolutely delicious! Each course is very delicate, desert is a must to try! read more

Fantastic new restaurant on St Clair. I went for my birthday dinner here, and the food was stupendous! Our server brought a lovely amuse-bouche, a goat-cheese croquette with sorrel, over which was poured a heavenly sunchoke cream. Fantastic taste and presentation. Had the warm asparagus salad to start with a dry Riesling, terrific pairing (and I'm glad the server suggested it, as I typically shy away from Riesling). Followed up with veal tenderloin with crispy sweetbreads and stuffed artichoke - so many beautiful flavours and textures! - and a glass of sparkling red, which I was excited to see, since it is a relatively rare find. My son ordered the fettucine puttanesca with seared tuna, and cleared his plate despite being a picky eater. For dessert, the goat cheesecake with rhubarb in port, so lovely, and a dark chocolate truffle. Everything I could have hoped for on my birthday. A beautiful setting for a beautiful meal. read more

I heard all great things about FK, so I was really excited ...then...EHH..A bit overrated...according to the website, they changed their menu often due to market availability, that night I ordered pasta with Puttanesca sauce and tuna on top, the pasta was cooked perfectly however , what's missing ? the taste. The sauce was bland, the tuna was overcooked ( 3 little squares ) and the portion is way too small. Appetizers were good, my friend ordered the steak, she liked it. Maybe just a bad night ? not too sure, after hearing great things and having been living in Italy for 10 years, I was expecting a better pasta dish than this FK ? A - OK :) read more

Overall experience is wonderful !! it's hard to find a fine dining restaurant that is not overpriced and it's hard to find a place for a lactose-intolerance like me to enjoy French food lol. the chef and servers are amazing...they can make every thing possible and enjoyable. Even for a picky eater like me feel amazed by the strawberry sorbet dessert. From the presentation to the food, I'm just so satisfied. And it's the first time I don't feel wasted for what I'm paying for lol read more

Honestly I was so excited to visit this local gem. WhIle the food was very tasty and unique, the service and attitude were not worth the visit. The server was not sure what kind of fish was being served-there are 7 entrees on the menu! When one of the members of the party asked for a vegetarian option the server told her she had to call in advance. When she informed the server that the website said vegetarian options available she was told by the server that the manager insists she needs to call in advance. This is not customer service. Finally she was served a delicious vegetarian meal but it was given with a side dish of attitude. When I walked by and made a little joke to the manager she didn't even acknowledge me.

FK is absolutely fantastic, the food and the service are the best in the city. My husband and I have been celebrating all of our occasions at chef Frank's restaurants and we will never go anywhere else. Thank you for giving us the best meals of our lives every single time we come (which is often!) read more

FK is not just about food, it's the European breeze you feel when sitting in the beautiful cozy restaurant, sipping good wine served by attentive servers, ready to give you the best experience ever. Of course the incredibly balanced tuna tartare with coconut lime vinaigrette and the unique scallop gremolata dish, perfectly executed and plated, are a dream for the palate and help you getting the impression to be in a French five stars restaurant. FK is the best expression not just of French food itself, but of the European way to enjoy it, in a romantic ambiance, taking your time to fully experience it. Outstanding! read more

Second attempt at this place,and I know it looks like they trying really hard, but honesty the food is nothing special ... your bill on the other hand will be "salty "as French people say! Service is ...meh! Their name come probably from that Oh F_ _ K look at the bill! read more

This is a restaurant that is worthy of Michelin Star category. If you ever watch the movie Babette's Feast and Chocolat, you will know your soul has been treated to an awakening. When food is prepared from that calibre of purpose and passion, you feel it in your bone. Frank and Shawn, this husband and wife team have perfected what eating out in a quality restaurant feels like. From the minute you walk in being greeted with such genuine hospitality to the last bite of homemade chocolate...you know it is was an experience that will be hard to forget. My dinner last night with Pu NEH, a foodie that just arrived from LAX was epic with each distinctive dishes precisely executed, using superlative ingredients. Congratulations Frank, Shawn and each of your carefully chosen staff on this new venture! Samy Chong read more

One of the many things that sets FK above most other restaurants, is the extraordinary attention to detail; in the decor, the service and of course, the food itself. Quality is everywhere. If you want an exceptional meal at a decent price, then this is the place to come. The food: three types of warm home-made bread appear shortly after sitting down, accompanied by a pungent taste buds stimulating roasted red pepper/garlicky hummus. This is followed by a small serving of heirloom beet soup surrounding a dollop of goat cheese mayonnaise. (Both of these are gratis - just an automatic part of the whole meal). We ordered a salad which was artichokes with radicchio leaves and chives and a green goddess dressing - yes, it exists. Crisp, slightly bitter, and tasty - sufficient to share. The lobster ravioli was a small portion and exquisitely executed. The pasta was al dente and lobster pieces clearly identifiable - not mush. Good peppery tomato sauce accompaniment. The gnocchi with pancetta and lemon Gorgonzola cheese sauce had multiple textures, arrived piping hot, slightly spicy from black pepper. A good size to share. We highly recommend the duck breast coated in Cocoa nibs with foie and Jerusalem artichokes. Simply beautifully cooked, extraordinarily tasty, and again, plenty to share. If you are dessert person, then the blood orange custard in a crisp pastry shell with mint and vanilla ice cream must surely tempt you? It is small but lovely. Or, maybe the pear tart(in) with warm deep caramel and a pastry base ,again with vanilla ice cream. The wine list: There is a good wine list with representation from a wide part of the world. Most of it reasonably priced. A slight leaning towards Italian and Third World wines. The decor: This is a small establishment in two rooms with about a total seating for 50 people. There is a bar with half a dozen or so places to sit. There are big mirrors which give a bigger space effect. Soft suspended lights. Lots of bench seating around the walls. Beautiful Laura Ashley like curtains. An airy room with wooden floors and somehow the noise doesn't become cacophonous. The service: There are lots of well informed waiters who are extraordinarily attentive. We spent much longer there than I had anticipated and enjoyed every moment. read more

I loved the Frank's Kitchen on College Street so I wanted to try this new location. The room is pretty and relaxing. This is not a hipster restaurant .... on a Sunday night as a 40ish a couple we were the youngest people there. But the food was delicious ... soFt- shelled crab, lobster risotto and a dessert combining my favourite two flavours chocolate and banana. Service was attentive. I will definitely be returning here. read more

Nice Wychwood addition and potential for a fine restaurant. Pleasant ambiance...good vibe on a Saturday evening. Service was competent, a bit sporadic, and harried (but it was prime-time). A long wait for the entrees--kitchen must have been maxed out. All entrees were cooked to perfection, but small. The 90-pound guest in our group had an appetizer, entree, and dessert and left the table hungry. Dishes seemed unnecessarily complicated with conflicting flavours...trying too hard? My advice to Frank: "Relax. You've got this. Don't over-engineer with 30% more labour than necessary in an effort to impress. Let your talent shine simply with food that speaks for itself. We will get it." read more

Our first time experiencing FK was a complete success from start to finish. While Yelp lists them as French, I found the dishes that we ordered had more of an Italian or Canadian theme. Very friendly service, even with our 2 kids tagging along. Fresh in-house baked bread was warm and crispy. The amuse buche of savoury panna cotta with tomatoes, cucumber and strawberry was delightful. For appetizers, we had baked oysters rockefeller and sablefish/shrimp ceviche w/ crisps, both of which were delicious. For mains, we had the ricotta artichoke ravioli w/ truffle shavings (truffles weren't the most fragrant though), champagne risotto w/ lobster, Ontario lamb rack, loin, shoulder croquette in syrah reduction, and Elk medallions (best dish of the night), with a side of spinach gratin w/ sharp cheddar. For desserts we had a lemon cake w/ strawberry mousse and a yuzu parfait w/ black sesame tuile butterflies. Both were perfect and light and not overly sweet. Overall, one of the best complete meals that I have had in a long time. Can't wait to come back to try out the chef's fall and winter menus. read more

A much more upscale experience from the former Frank's Kitchen(that place was awesome). We each shared the tuna tartar which was nice. I had the beef cheek which was basically a beef bourguignon. I really enjoyed it, took my time on it. My wife had the lobster risotto which was also really good, and we finished off with an Apple brown butter cake, that was really tasty as well. Cocktails are pretty good as well. I'm normally a wine guy, but a 5 oz is on average 20 bux which I think is too much, so ended up skipping out on wine this time around. Any seat is good there, even bar seating which is very comfortable so if that is all that is available go for it. Definitely a place worth trying for a fine dining experience, great service. My only gripe with the place is it was overpriced, otherwise well worth the visit. read more

An excellent evening! Great sea food! The wine selection is exclusive to the restaurant and not avaibale at LCBO. The pastry chef is also unbelievable! We had the goats milk cheesecake and the sticky toffee pudding with orange cardamom ice cream. That alone was worth the trip. Service is meticulous without being heavy or pretentious. The owner is greeting patrons at the door. Every single one... A real treat! read more

Our recent meal here easily stood out as one of the best of 2018 in an already great year of dining out. The staff were an excellent team of people who are incredibly professional and went above and beyond our highest expectation. This was my first time dining here, but have eaten at their previous location several times. The dining room room is gorgeously designed- very interesting, very comfortable. The wine and cocktail selection, I feel, is one of the best in the city and- - The. Food. It was one of those meals where we all looked at each other, practically with tears in our eyes after the first bite of rash dish we tried (almost everything on the menu) In summation- we loved it here- will go back and back again- and recommend. read more

I am so thrilled to have the dynamic duo Shawn Cooper and Chef Frank Parhizgar of Frank's Kitchen back once again with their new restaurant FK on St. Clair Ave. West. The incredible food sensations and overall dining experience is to die for and better than ever. Chef Frank's talents have once again reached a new level and every single dish beginning with warm breads, dips and delectable soups made from scratch daily, prepare you for the highlight you are about to experience. The menu has an array of fabulous dishes and it is truly difficult to choose as you are tempted to try them all. The sophisticated food along with the impressive list of wines and impeccable service is simply amazing. I honestly don't want to dine anywhere else for a while. The beautifully decorated and warm atmosphere was carefully created by Shawn Cooper in order for you to have a beautiful and welcoming place for you to enjoy your meal. Well done and congratulations to this incredibly hard working, creative and passionate team! I will be back - with many of my family and friends - often! read more

I wish I could give FK 7 stars. As a frequent traveler, I often eat at some of the worlds "best" restaurants. Some are great, some are not. FK delivered 110%. From walking through the door to the food and the service, it was an absolute delight. It truly is casual fine dining. Highly recommend!! read more

This restaurant is by far the best restaurant in town. Frank creates fresh, ingenious masterpieces. The hits just keep on coming even when you think he can't outdo himself anymore! There is nothing he hasn't thought about from his homemade bread to charcuturie hand picked fresh that day. Escargot, Oysters rock, beef tartar, veal, steak, fish, lobster, amuse bouche between servings, Risotto with duck leg, and then the pastries to die for!!! Delicate and flavourful. Frank is impeccable about every detail. Shawn is the perfect partner who is the nuts and bolts of this operation from the front bar, decor, patio, customer attention, she was does it all! VIP service all the way. Prices are very reasonable. Eddy and Warren are the most loyal hardworking customer service staff! You have to try Franks! If 10 is perfect then Frank's is 20!!!

My husband and I have been coming since they opened their new location on St Clair... and before that, we enjoyed their location on College street for many years. Chef Frank, his lovely wife Shawn and their team of staff in the kitchen and front of the house are outstanding. Whether it is a special occasion, and family gathering or a date night out, FK Restaurant is the perfect place. The food is truly excellent and the service is top notch. We will be loyal customers for many years to come. No matter what you order, you can't go wrong! read more

Exceptional food, decor, service. Attention to detail was obvious all around , from the food presentation to the little extras (amuse bouche). This is not an every day kind of restaurant unless you are accustomed to spending in excess of $100 pp for a meal- but it is a lovely worthwhile memorable experience for a special occasion. Highly recommend. Book well in advance as they have an extensive following from their previous location on College. read more

If food is art, than FK's food should be at the Louvre. When Frank's Kitchen closed I was devastated. It was my favorite restaurant thanks to Frank's incredible culinary talents and the waiters attention to detail in making your dining experience fun and exciting. I'm thrilled that Frank, Shawn and the rest of the team have moved a little closer to my home and kept all that made Frank's Kitchen my favorite. We had the ravioli with lobster, oysters, gnocchi (we were sharing!) and bread. Oh, the bread! I was off carbs for a while so that tasting of my first bite of bread was the best! Oh, the amuse bouche? Insanely delicious. read more
