    It has always been a great dining experience for me to go to Franchesco's because they are consistent in what they provide time after time. I think they are the best fine dining restaurant in Rockford..

    I made reservations for 2 in the main dining room for our anniversary. We arrived 10min before our reservations to check in. The hostess told us it would be a 20-30 minute wait PAST our reservation time and that the dining room was too full to accommodate our reservation. I specifically made reservations to avoid this problem and was very disappointed that we were going to be pushed into Benny’s for our special occasion. I enjoy Benny’s, but not for a nice anniversary date night.

    30 min wait on a reservation for over priced mediocre food. Don't get a steak.

    We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation. They seated us immediately. Perhaps because we were early our server didn’t stop to take our drink orders until I flagged down another server 20 minutes later. Once the orders were placed everything went very well other than my ribeye was medium rare at one end and fully rare at the other. It was supposed to be medium well. I ate it anyway because the flavor was excellent and it was hot. The manager comped our dessert. It is a very nice place. The food was delicious. I think they had an off night.
