We walked in at 5 pm without a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant was very busy by the time we left around 6:30. Food tasted great. Not as large a variety on the menu as I would have liked. The portions were large and we were able to share a salad, which was still filling. Staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxing. Wine was reasonably priced.

It was our first time visiting! We celebrated our anniversary. The food was. Well prepared and tasted great. I booked our reservation online and in the area that asked if there was any special occasion I listed celebrating our anniversary. I’m not sure why they ask since no acknowledgment by the staff. Most places at least acknowledge and sometimes a drink on the house or dessert. But overall we would return because most important was the quality of food which we loved…

Food was solid. Chris who took care of us for the evening was nothing short of fantastic. In fact Chris and the food runners were very impressive. Their effort and attention made the evening for my wife and mother who both own restaurants. Impressive stuff. Just to reiterate the food was solid but still slightly boring some how. No complaints though. Will return again.

Always have an incredible experience at Francesca’s! My family and I dine in 2-3 times a month and always leave with a smile. Whether we make a reservation or walk in, the staff always gets us seated and dining in no time. The food and service is always phenomenal and the General Manager Scott always stops by to make sure our food and experience have all been top notch. Great atmosphere and great food. Thank you to the team!

First time here and I will come back on each trip. Eric was an amazing server, portions were just right, highly recommend the crumble sausage on whatever dish you order. I would also encourage the Tiramisu, it was extremely light and fluffy with excellent flavor.

Bar is small but gorgeous, staff are very welcoming and attentive. The complimentary bread and cheese they serve were delicious! To start, I tried the roasted potatoes. Although expensive – $8.95 for only 4 pieces of potato covered in a delicious sauce, it’s a dish I would undoubtedly come back for. The calamari fritti was decent and average, nothing spectacular but reasonably priced. Atmosphere is nice.

The GM Scott made our experience magical! My brother and I travel 30 minutes each way regularly for this fine establishment. The food, staff, and atmosphere is a 10/10. Highly recommend!!

Upon getting to the restaurant we were greeted immediately, the manager himself walked about presenting himself to the customers and was most polite, friendly, and helpful. The food was delectable and scrumptious. I would not hesitate on the chance to go back!
