Excellent experience! My husband and I dined at Francine for lunch. Good wine list and authentic French menu. Hubby started with oysters and then moved on to steak tartare. I enjoyed the chicken salad and sourdough toast. Will definitely return

The restaurant was much less noisy sitting in a booth on the kitchen side of the restaurant but there were very few patrons seated there so it was not as inviting as the other side with more diners.

Good enough for dating dinner. Awesome service and enjoyable drinks. S/O to Jake, his services and friendly attitude are the most unforgettable part. Octopus is normal, try others if you are in a dilemma. Lobster pasta is awesome.

Great food, great decor and lighting. Absolutely terrible service. We had a reservation for 8pm, the hostesses at the door were rude and advised they were 10mins behind time. But then it got to 9pm and we still were not seated . When I approached the hostesses they were rude again and said we had no reservation. After showing them the confirmation and that they’d already spoken to us, we finally got a seat. Three things on the menu were sold out by this time too

I wish I didn’t have to post poor on all the stars in order to write a review. We had a 7:30 reservation, we finally gave up and left at 8:45 after not eating anything, or frankly even having the opportunity to place an order. To say the front of house and service in general was poor is a huge understatement, and before anyone thinks that maybe they were just really busy - they weren’t. Plenty of empty tables, probably about half full. Too bad, by all accounts the food is good, but if it takes an hour to get seated when you have a reservation, and then menu explained only to have the waiter disappear and finally just give up and leave, it really doesn’t matter if the food is spectacular.
