    Entering the warm, cozy and inviting atmosphere of Franny’s on a cold and drizzly evening was just what we needed. The owner is very much present and came to our table a couple of times to see how we were doing. Our waitress was friendly and very helpful on describing the dishes. It was hard to make a decision about dinner because there were two or three options about which I couldn’t decide. I even considered a couple of appetizers for dinner. Finally, I chose swordfish and my friend the chicken dish. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I am looking forward to going back and trying another entrée while enjoying the ambience of this wonderful gem.

    We visited Franny's (after not being able to get a reservation several months back when we were in Camden) and our reservations were excepted. We were shown to our table quicky and every part of the experience was wonderful. The restaurant is eclectic and special, the hostess, wait staff and bartender will all exceptional. We will definitely go back. Definitely make reservations, as they seem to fill fast and it looked like walk-ins were not able to get a table. Great food, great drinks, great night.

    Fabulous food. We ate out on the tent which we were very skeptical about as it was a chilly evening. It actually was quite comfortable without our coats on and had a very nice vibe to it. This was our second time dining at Franny’s and we will return any time we are in Camden. Reservations are a must!!

    The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. We started with the shrimp dumplings and ordered the Portuguese seafood and linguini and the lamb dish, that was one of the specials, for dinner. Definitely worth every penny!

    As a local, we tend to wait until the summer season transitions, yet Franny’s reputation is so strong they were full on a Thursday evening. Our server, Sunny, did a wonderful job guiding us through our questions on the menu to ensure dinner was exactly how we wanted it. Fantastic customer service to accompany a great meal!
