    The food was lovely. Very cute ambiance. The service, aside from the friendly host, was very lackluster.

    Food was outstanding. Escargot are a favorite and Frenchie’s version did not disappoint. Followed up with a fresh tomato and burrata drizzled in a decadent balsamic perfectly paired with a red blend from Burgundy.

    Great service! Good wine pours too. The pizza’s came out ten minutes before the pasta dishes and everything was tepid in temperature, not hot at all. However, the flavors were quite delicious. A bit loud, but that’s to be expected in the environment for which it is, -it adds to the positive energy. We would go back again with specific requests to ensure timely and hot food.

    Lively spot in Southie, with multiple sports screens, good beer, and yummy bites for brunch or lunch (maybe dinner too but we were there at noontime). My southern egg and maple sausage sandwich was a vast improvement over fast-food versions. My husband loved the short rib eggs Benedict. Both dishes were reasonably sized portions. We visited on a Saturday when it was busy and were glad we made a reservation!
