swish! 
Atmosphere very good, funky inside, and cocktail bar upstairs Food We had allsorts, even snails, never had them before but it was something different! Drink
Great cock tails up stairs, Cuba libre tasted a bit odd, but theres plenty to choose from! Location On the way up to town, so maybe make a night of it?
Overall Nice food, varied drinks ( which were a little over priced) all in all id say i would go again!

Review of Frankie & Benny's
11 Apr 08, 18:01
I had to sign for my food?!! 
F&B is a chain of Italian/American restaurants in the UK with numerous outlets nationwide
Its first location was Leicester in 1995 but now the chain has over 100 locations across the UK and also abroad.
This one up Merry Hill in theory should be the same as the others. Almost!
I ordered a steak and asked for it cooked "blue" ( as in rarer than rare) they made me SIGN A DISCLAIMER!
So I couldnt sue them in a court of something!
How bizzare!
I order Blue steak alllllllll the time! That has never happened before or since!
They still overcooked it!
D'oh
If you are interested about the "Story" behind the chain, heres how it goes....
Once upon a time in 1924, at the age of 10, Frankie left Sicily with his parents and moved to Brooklyn’s “Little Italy” in New York. Within a year of moving, the family had opened a restaurant, which is now co-managed by Frankie's long-time friend Benny. The business was taken over by Frankie and Benny in 1953, and combines popular American food with traditional Italian dishes.
Everybody ordered steak "BLUE", signed for it like a parcel, followed by a pudding,tipped their waitress& lived hapily ever after!
ahhhhhhhhhh
