    Food was awesome and so was the service! They had a piano player playing and the lights were dimmed. A little pricey, but well worth it. Both my husband and I really enjoyed it!

    Food was ok. Drinks were very good. Ambiance nice but tables too close together. You feel like your intruding on your neighbors conversation. Piano player very good with niice choice of music.

    For our 40th anniversary, we had an amazing dinner. The whole experience from the beginning to the end, the food, the service, the piano player, and the whole experience were perfect.

    This is the 2nd year coming for Valentine’s Day. The food was AMAZING. What went wrong is once we sat down. It took more than 10 minutes to even see a server. Then once we did order our drinks it took a long time to get them and one of our alcohol beverage was wrong. We hardly seen our server. It was more like we were bothering her and she had more important things to do. And once we told her we had the wrong drink then she asked us what do you think it is that was a very odd question. Didn’t know it was a guessing game. It was wrong. That’s what it was. Yes she did take the drink order price off our bill which was nice and we did stop a manager and told them about our service so I’m not sure if someone talk to Sami B because it seemed like someone did because then our service got much better. The night did get much better. But due to our server we are thinking about next year making valentine reservations somewhere else . What really sucked was we brought our daughter along with us because she has never has been to an elegant restaurant. So we had to explain that servers are usually more tentative and friendlier. So handsome.

    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.
