Frankie, a beloved restaurant and natural wine bar in Jersey City, brings a refreshing and unique concept to the area, inspired by the coastal vibes of Sydney, Australia, where art deco meets vintage coastal aesthetics. This blend of styles creates an inviting and laid-back atmosphere that feels both familiar and stylishly eclectic, emphasizing warm, sunny energy, perfect for a relaxed dining experience.

The core of Frankie’s design concept is the marriage of Art Deco elegance and vintage coastal charm. Art Deco, with its geometric forms, symmetrical lines, and luxurious materials, provides a sense of sophistication and structure to the space. Playful pastel colors balance this classic style. These soft, sun-kissed hues—muted pinks, pale blues, and seafoam greens—add a sense of whimsy and lightness to the space. A vintage coastal theme's casual and breezy elements introduce softer textures, organic shapes, and a more laid-back vibe reminiscent of beachside cafes and bistros.
