Restaurants near Okeeheelee Nature Center

Nelson was an amazing Waiter. He was friendly and courteous and extremely helpful in explaining the menu. We chose amazing meals and best side dishes thanks to him. When we come back we will definitely be asking for Nelson.

Our table was ready on time when we arrived, service was courteous and consistent. There were numerous options for food that looked delicious and something for everyone’s preferences. All of our dishes were delicious and satisfying.

This was our first time at Franco. We had a reservation and were seated right away. We were surprised that the restaurant was not busy on a Friday evening. Our server was Paola and she was very nice. She immediately asked if we wanted cocktails and gave us some time to decide. We ordered cocktails and then someone bright bruschetta. My husband had them and said it was tasty but might have been sitting awhile since the bread was a bit soggy. Paola went over the special before we ordered. The entrees come with roasted potatoes and peas and carrots. I ordered Pollo Marsala and asked if I could get pasta instead of potatoes and veggies. She said she’d ask if the chef would do that. My husband ordered pollo Francese with double potato’s. We didn’t have to wait long at all for our entrees to arrive. The portions were large and the food was tasty. I was surprised that there was no garlic bread or rolls. Which we enjoy with Italian food. We had to take home half our meals and were too full for dessert. I’m not sure we’ll go back.
