The staff here is friendly and helpful, always ready to offer a recommendationnn or answer any questions guests might have. The Sitdown Café offers a wide variety of dishes. The menu is broken up into appetizers, soups, salads, sushi, sandwiches and pizza. This kind of variety is unique, as most restaurants do not offer both sushi and pizza. Popular sushi rolls at The Sitdown Café include the Chicago Fire with tuna, salmon, white tuna, jalapeno and cilantro, as well as the drunken tiger with crab, avocado and cucumber topped with tiger shrimp and mango tobiko sauce. The pizzas are completely customizable, with guests adding ingredients as they want, like mozzarella, tomato, basil, mushrooms, feta, peppers, onion, black olives and prosciutto

The food was absolutely amazing! The part I didn't like was that Happy Hour was only strictly for the bar area only. I was also disappointed that they didn't give a complimentary treat, dessert-nothing for the birthday person. They are making too much money to be so strict and cheap. Give a complimentary dessert for people celebrating their birthday!

It was great! We had a really good time. Love everything about Franco’s except for one thing. There was a piece of metal wire in one of the entrees we ordered. But the wait staff was very kind to take away that disk and make a new one for us.
