Advantages: Excellent performances in a perfect setting Disadvantages: Very minor quibbles
Background:
When it comes to prodigious over-achievers, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has to be placed somewhere at the top of the list. Despite his tragically short life from 1756-1791, his musical creativity has assured him of eternal fame as long as human civilisation performs Western classical music.
But when one considers Mozart's background, one can understand where his genius came from. His father Leopold Mozart was a virtuoso violinist whose treatise on violin playing is still a standard read for any aspiring violin student today. It is also worth considering how things might have been different had female instrumentalists been able to pursue a professional career as adults - as his beloved sister Nannerl was no mean keyboard player, but obviously once she became an adult it was not really considered the done thing for her ...
Advantages: Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere, good music, good service, well priced, good deals, cater for kids Disadvantages: Not a huge selection of vegetarian main courses, not situated in the most desirable of locations
vegetarian dishes in the future.
I have not tried a Frankie and Benny's breakfast yet but plan to soon. I like the sound of the vegetarian breakfast and American pancakes! I've also heard good things about their cocktails which I have yet to try - I'm usually driving so can't drink... although I've recently learnt they do non-alchoholic cocktails too.
Frankie and Bennys doesn't have any play areas for children which is good in some ways because kids tend to get distracted from their food if there's a play area around. Children also seem to be surrounded in noise and general annoyance so no play area means less children which means more happy adults!

~~The food~~
Frankie and Benny?s is a well know chain restaurant specialising in American and Italian food, great for those who aren?t very adventurous when it comes to food!
The starters range from prawn cocktail to barbeque chicken wings, all reasonably priced at under £5. Sharers are available (which are very filling!) for two people, this is definitely our favourite as it gives you chance to sample a bit of everything off the starter menu at under £12.
Main meals in my opinion are served in huge portions, and I could quite happily share a main meal - not so sure that my partner would agree though ...
