This is one of our tried and true favorites. The service is friendly and helpful. Grace, who is often our waitress is truly fantastic! The food is creative but not overdone. We love the cod, the catfish picata, arugula salad, the shrimp tacos and the key lime tart and warm chocolate cake with ice cream are a delicious way to end a great meal. The drinks are well made too. The room is cozy and often hopping but quiets down before 9:00.

My husband and I used to go to the Franklin for a late night dinner after we left work (before kids). We went tonight and I am happy to report, we had the sole and short rib and it was delicious. The bartender paid just enough attention to us to feel like we were on a date but not alone. The place was CLEAN and the staff was HAPPY. The food is always amazing. Good ole faithful for us.

We had dinner here last night and the whole experience was wonderful! The staff were so incredibly nice and friendly. The food was delicious. I had the burger and my boyfriend had the tuna. Both were perfect and the wine selection was excellent. I also want to point out how clean the bathroom was which says a lot about how the place is run. This is a women-run business and it shows. Would definitely recommend.

So technically I have ordered some House made Pasta which technically was cost me $25 and was not worth even $10 tbh, It doesn’t even contain any sauce just straight water not properly cooked, no salt no seasoning just boiled vegetables.

The food is sub par. The salmon was dried out. The hanger steak tough and tasteless. Green beans overcooked. French fries soggy. Never again and expensive
