We had a very nice experience at Francesca’s. The pasta dish was amazing, and the cod was tasty, however the pork chop fell a bit short. We appreciated being seated at a quieter table (which we requested when we booked) and not being rushed and this our servers adjusted to our tempo. Great place to enjoy a nice, relaxing meal.

Took my mom for her birthday dinner and everything was amazing! Our favorite was the calamari and she loved their selection of red wine. Our server was super informative about the menu and guided us with delicious recommendations! Also the busser was so polite and quick with refills! Would definitely go again for another occasion!

Service was slow and somewhat confused. The salmon was disappointing, bland and served with out of season vegetables. It’s been delicious in the past. Portions were ridiculously large.

Always 5 star! I expect nothing less from Francesca's because it's a wonderful experience every time! On NYE, I brought a friend who is new to Francesca's and she was wowed. One thing that really stood out this time - the playlist! The NYE vibes were spectacular!

This was our first time dining here, and unfortunately, it will also be our last. The service was underwhelming—our waiter didn’t provide any recommendations or ask if it was our first visit, and our drinks sat empty until he finally came back to check on us. This was especially disappointing since the restaurant wasn’t even busy when we arrived on a Saturday evening. The Francesca salad was a letdown—wilted greens overloaded with blue cheese. My husband’s steak, which was a special, was excessively fatty and not worth the price. While the calamari and desserts were decent, the overall experience was lacking. To top it off, we weren’t even offered cheese for our pasta dish when it was served. For the price, we expected much better and could have had a more satisfying meal elsewhere. The overall experience was disappointing.
