    We loved our waiter, Francisco! Great meal. The chef, Jack Neal, prepares the best steak dish and pairs it perfectly with the grilled Caesar.

    Our dinner at Franny’s was outstanding as always. The food and drinks were delicious, the service attentive and the atmosphere cozy. It’s my favorite neighborhood restaurant. Great playlist sets a nice vibe too.

    When I made the reservation, I noted that my wife is hearing disabled and, therefore, we would appreciate being seated at a table in a quiet part of the restaurant. As soon as we walked in and identified ourselves, the hostess -- who we later learned was the owner of the restaurant -- recalled our note and offered us the quietest table she had. When I told her that I write the same note on every reservation I make, but never before had we been offered a quiet table (suggesting to me that restaurant operators do not read the notes), she said she spends time every day reading ALL the notes they receive on reservation requests. Next time we're in Camden, Franny's is definitely, absolutely where we will be eating!!

    Altho we were just here not three weeks ago, Franny’s ever gets tiresome. And last night I had the duck confit arugula salad for the first time and it’s very good! The confit is not dry, and the pears work well in the salad. And I had her crab cakes appe for dinner because they’re that good ,too! Busy at 7 last night but the service was very good, she was attentive and helpful without being annoying. A good night.

    Franny's Bistro is our favorite restaurant in the Midcoast region. The food is always superb, and the staff are friendly and professional.
