    Consistency is one of their strongpoints. Consistently good food, service and atmosphere. We returned for a Saturday night dinner. Reservations are a must. They were crowded and it was loud. However- great food and great service from our server Payton.

    This was our second time at Francesca's. Even though it was very busy, service was very good; attentive and prompt. Not only our server, but all the individuals clearing plates and bringing water, etc. were great. Food was very good as well. Pasta cooked perfectly and sauces interesting and tasty.

    Fantastic start to restaurant week. To be honest not a lot of the menus, in general, were making us want to try new or fav places…then I got a push email from Eden. We did the 4 course restaurant week tasting menu and it was fantastic. If I had one nit, it was too much food!…but solved by taking leftovers home. This definitely feels and tastes like one of the best deals of this year’s restaurant week…and I’d highly recommend to give Eden a try if you haven’t been there or it’s been awhile. The 4 veggie courses were solid and flavorful. The chicken and Brussel sprouts (vegetarian) were standouts for my meat eating companion. I’m not a Brussels sprouts fan, but they were tasty as we shared first courses. Come hungry if you want to do the 4 course. Reasonable wine prices and a nice selection of cocktails round out the evening.

    This was a lovely evening enjoying not only the food and drink, but the environment and service was superlative. We were first time visitors and enjoyed the steak flight, specialty cocktails and the empanadas appetizer with chimichurri. All very well prepared, perfect temperature and service was extremely well-paced.
