A former resident of Franklin, MA, I am no stranger to 3 and it remains one of my favorite restaurants. The outside pavilion is so wonderful and makes one feel like they are on vacation. Love it and have not seen any outdoor seating in a restaurant that even comes close to rivaling it. We had a wonderful time and were very well taken care of by our server Julianna. This is the absolute BEST place to go to for outdoor dining. LOVE IT!!!

The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the ambiance and the quick service. We look forward to going back again. Two of us ordered short ribs and it was outstanding! My salmon was cooked to perfection and the scallops were incredible.
