At the base of the much-maligned Marine Board Building, Frank brings fabulous South American–inspired flavours to the Hobart waterfront. Everything is designed for sharing, from empanadas to small plates (crispy squid, confit lamb ribs), vegetable dishes (charred sweet potato and goat's-milk curd), and sensational steaks (big ones cost up to $89). Frank is one well-dressed hombre, with super-hip interior design.
