Good food and friendly service. But server outside had to wipe down tables take orders and check in on us. Maybe more servers to take orders when people sit down? Especially at brunch when waiting on coffee tea etc

The food at Frenchette was excellent but our reservation was at 6:15 pm, and by that time they were out of all of the desserts except for one, as well as the pizza we originally wanted. Expect choices to be limited if you go in the evenings.

They could not seat us until 1.15pm for our 1pm reservation and then when we tried to order a bacon egg and cheese they had “just run out”. Running out of an item on a Sunday at mid day was disappointing.
