    We ate in the bar area and really enjoy the bar, as it seems quieter and somewhat intimate. Our server, Alyssa, was superb! Very attentive and efficient.

    Overall enjoyable experience. Food was delicious! Portions were HUGE! They had a limited Valentine’s Day menu so couldn’t order what I typically get. But very good none-the-less. Service was excellent (Gladys)! Only minor complaint was we were seated at a corner table next to the doors to the kitchen and they were constantly flapping as busy wait staff were going in and out. I almost got hit by one as we were being seated.

    Once, again, a wonderful meal at Francescos. The bartenders were great and the wait staff was terrific. Our dinners were excellent and the portions were huge. Will continue to recommend Francescos to everyone.

    We have consistently enjoyed our experiences at this establishment. The quality of the food is exceptional, and the service consistently exceeds our expectations. Our preference is to sit at the bar, where Ralph has always provided outstanding care during our visits. On our most recent outing, Danielle attended to us, and she displayed remarkable professionalism and attentiveness. Additionally, the hostesses are commendable, always making an effort to accommodate our seating preferences at the bar. Overall, this restaurant stands out for both its culinary excellence and exemplary service.
