    I made a reservation here based on the reviews I read and Francesca’s did not disappoint. Our server Steve was amazing! There was a minor issue with the dish I ordered and the GM Donny was quick to resolve it and I enjoyed my meal immensely, as did my boyfriend. Overall, great experience, great food, great cocktails, great service and I will definitely be coming back!
