    Franny's has become our "go to" place for celebrations. We've now been three times, for our first time using a petsitter, and then for our anniversary and a birthday. Each time, the food and service have been consistently superb. We love the lamb chops, the swordfish, the salads, mussels, focaccia and desserts. Oh--and the crabcakes! And cocktails! Whatever we've ordered, it's all been fabulous.

    Top shelf in every way. Attentive service from Cat, delicious meals, cozy ambiance on a very chilly Wednesday evening. Scallops and mussels over cheesy grits were heavenly. Highly recommend.

    The staff and owners are delightful and very responsive. The menu is appropriately somewhat limited, but what is offered is excellent. We had three different mains, all excellent - one of the best swordfish dishes I've ever had. Make sure you have a reservation as the place is small in the winter, but warm, friendly and charming. Great place

    Everything wonderful as usual. Bravo to Jack and Jennifer for their fabulous place. Franny’s has the best ambiance of any restaurant in the Midcoast and offers the tastiest, most artistically presented food.
