    This was a second visit for my wife and I, first for our daughter. We had a fantastic meal. The food is all excellent and the service outstanding. My only complaint is that there are too many terrific options on the menu, making it very hard to choose!

    We’ve eaten here once before and it was fantastic. Last night, not so much. Our server seemed a little off (but very nice) and my wife’s lamb chops and my ribs were tough. We look forward to eating at Frannies in the future and hope it will be better next time.

    As always food was consistently very good. Even on a busy night chef is always helpful in accommodating a food allergy for a member of our party. Host & waitstaff are friendly and knowledgeable about the food & wine offerings.

    As always, the service was wonderful and the food - from salads to halibut to dessert - was perfect. In seven years, we’ve never had an off night at Franny’s.

    From being greeted by Garret to Mary, our server, the welcome and interest in our visit were complete and friendly. The service was spot-on and the food was flavorful, balanced and beautifully presented. In summary, wonderful! We were thankful to have had reservations.

    Very fine restaurant, with a great bar! Try their cocktail The Hemingway. And make your reservations well in advance, we were there on a Wed and Camden was literally full! My wife had the special halibut and I left my absolute favorite scallops in grits with bacon for the special swordfish last night and it was very good. This is just a great place to wine and dine with a great kitchen and comfy chairs!

    What a fabulous experience! We love to sit at the bar and our time at Franny’s did not disappoint. Our bar tender, Marri was a delight! She tended to us like we were family. Dinner was scrumptious! We started with a glass of rose and the Widow Jane old-fashion, followed by the spring rolls. One of us had the scallops & mussels; the other chose the halibut. Melt in our mouths deliciousness! Ended by sharing the ice cream and left feeling completely content with our Franny’s Bistro experience. If you haven’t been…you really should go. Reservations are a must!
