Acclaimed restaurateur, Laurent Halasz, behind FIG & OLIVE, brings his most personal project to date to Scottsdale at the Luxury wing of Fashion Square: FRANCINE
Halasz, who was raised in the South of France amidst the bounty of simple and soulful cuisine draws inspiration from his birthplace. FRANCINE is a spirited and loving homage to days spent in the sun and amongst gatherings around beautiful meals hosted by his mother Francine Halasz. Everything on my mother’s table was fresh, seasonal, and full of flavor, and that is exactly what FRANCINE will offer our guests.

    Sophisticated group of women out. Decor very elegant. Thursday not crowded 630 reservation so noise level down but outdoor seating very attractive option with cooler evening weather. Menu one page but appreciated seasonal drinks with great thought depth, excellent tasty choices. Highlights are: salmon tartare with true layered flavors, octopus with a plump and tender tentacle, escargot with nice Parmesan crisp would want a bit more butter and some garlic onions, goat cheese salad was a gorgeously fresh spread!. The main meals we split were lamb with a potato layered square, sea bass in a citrus broth, and the exquisite fruit of the sea pasta which we could not stop eating and I crave today. The fruit of sea pasta was this incredible balance and the cream sauce so perfectly highlighter the mineral of the squid ink and the seafood in the sauce. Tremendous. I just ate and now I’m hungry again for just that dish. We had a perfect time and the service was wonderful. Do try the cocktails for the fall! Bourbon Spice was a favorite!

    my experience was good the service was fantastic food was good my only complaint is my Chilean sea bass came with nothing else only two tomatoes for that kinda price at least they should service with another side and the calamari and the carpaccio had no flavor the sauces that come with that didn't have any good flavor either so we didn't like the calamari dish but overall everything was good the rest of the other dishes like the lamb and duck were delicious

    Service and food were mediocre / run of the mill at best. For $250+ for two people, our expectations would be higher. Probably not a repeater for us.

    My wife and I came here for our anniversary and decided to take our daughters as well. My girls asked me if it was a fancy restaurant and my response was yes it was so they got all dressed up. As soon as we parked it was a journey finding any parking. As soon as we walked from our parking spot to the restaurant a few people from the Lifetime gym walked out dressed in sports bra and sports shorts. Right away my daughters mentioned I thought it was fancy daddy and I’m saying it is but right next door is a gym which in a way gave a bad taste in our mouth. Next was the service which the restaurant was pretty slow being a Wednesday and we expected way better attention to detail but it seemed there was only one main waiter and rest were for refilling waters. Service for this type of restaurant was less than mediocre but maybe just understaffed. The food was probably the hardest part to swallow since portions were super small and not at all appealing. My daughter ordered the oysters as her main course and the size was already mentioned by waiters that they were pretty small and we were surprised how small they actually were. My wife ordered the Sea bass and wow it was such a small piece of fish and in a soup presentation. I ordered the chicken milanesa or something like that and what I got was a flattened chicken breast cut in half with a tomato sauce and topped off with a fennel or some green salad on top. Overall the menu needs to meet the expectations of the restaurant and the price they are charging. I know prices have been inflated on everything but the menu options were very lackluster and we were still super hungry afterwards and ended up going to get pizza at Grimaldi’s. Upscale restaurants are getting super lazy with food overall expectations and why should we as consumers have to pay for that? I’m all about portion control but my family shouldn’t have to leave hungry even after ordering 2 appetizers for the tables and even 2 sides of fries to fill us up.

    Way too noisy, we had to yell to one another to converse and almost walked out but we had already ordered and tolerated the blare the rest of the evening. Very un-French. The food was overall good, however, I chose the rack of lamb medium and it was served raw. I returned it to have it cooked more and when I got it back cooked medium it was tasteless. The service was good. I will not be going back.

    Food was really fabulous, just what I wanted, excellent. There was a real problem with service, not enough servers for the room and it took quite a long time to get attention and my belief is that good service is given by a trained staff who notices everything, one should not have to ask all the time nor remind. Very loud environment.

    Francine always has wonderful service and amazing food quality. The value is a struggle because everything has gone up so much. Example their sparkling choices either taste average at best or are $25 a glass and above; and the entrees are $$$$ That said the quality is superior to the competition. I miss the days I’d lunch there weekly.

    Disappointing Chicken Salad Experience I recently dined at this beautiful restaurant and decided to try their chicken salad. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. Firstly, I was disappointed by the lack of chicken and cheese in the salad. It was difficult to find substantial pieces of chicken or even noticeable amounts of cheese. Instead, the plate was filled with an overwhelming amount of leaves piled on top of the chicken. I found this to be unappetizing and not what I expected from a restaurant of this caliber. Despite the shortcomings of the dish, I refrained from complaining right away due to the circumstances. I had invited a friend who was recently dealing with the loss of a loved one, and I didn't want to make a scene or add any further discomfort to their day. While I understand that mistakes can happen and not every dish will meet expectations, I do believe that this restaurant should aim to provide consistent quality and attention to detail, especially when it comes to simple dishes like a chicken salad. Overall, my experience with the chicken salad at this restaurant was underwhelming. I hope that they take this feedback constructively and strive to improve in the future.

    FrancineResponded on August 25, 2023

    Thank you. Our goal is to provide our guests with a consistent, delicious and hospitable experience. I am sorry that you were underwhelmed by our Roast Chicken salad. Every salad at Francine is composed with fresh local lettuces and various accompaniment. This green salad includes roast chicken and gorgonzola unlike a heartier American chicken salad. In the future we would welcome hearing of any issues while you are still dining with us in order to better serve you. We hope you will return soon.

    The brunch was eh. I had heard great things about Francine’s but probably wouldn’t go back. The cappuccino & goat cheese app were great. The omelette was good, but the side of bacon tasted like Costco microwave bacon. Price was average, but the service from the main waiter was bad. It was a Sat. and there was barely anyone there. Definitely not what I had anticipated the service to be at such a beautiful French restaurant.

    Food, drinks, and ambience was amazing. Service was terrible, took 10 minutes to get greeted by our server. We didn’t see him again until the drinks arrived 20 minutes later. Food was another 45 minute wait with empty drinks since we never got the opportunity to order more has he never came back.

    We love Francine. This feedback is only meant to strengthen an already beautiful experience. First, our server was fantastic. What we loved the most was that he paced the meal perfectly for us. We were looking for a long leisurely meal so the evening flowed beautifully. I do think it is worth asking the table whether they are looking for a moderate or slow paced meal mainly because if we weren’t looking to really settle in to the evening, the service would have felt slow. There were a few items that were forgotten but the server comped the dessert for the wait. Food - food was incredible - we had apps, crudo, pastas, mains, sides and desserts. The branzino left much to be desired. It was a lovely cut and quality but there wasn’t much flavor and it felt super boring in comparison to the rest of the meal. The honey (olive oil cake) presentation was too fussy. It’s not necessary. That’s all! I hope this is helpful!
