Franco's - Reserva de mesa

We had been to Franco's many times before and loved it, both under the original ownership and the new. However, it seems that it has changed hands yet again and not for the good I'm afraid. Although, judging by the November reviews maybe it is back on track again. I also note that late September/early reviews are similar to ours, which was very poor. In fact we left before the food arrived, mainly due to the extremely poor level of service we received with our drinks. We were out to celebrate my wife's birthday and to start the evening, the four of us all ordered double Gin Tonic's. However, it took 40 minutes for the drinks to arrive. And if if we thought the time taken to bring the drinks...

This is the first time we have been to this restaurant under this management. The restaurant itself looked lovely and the staff were very welcoming. We were seated and two waitresses asked what we would like to drink! A little while later our order was taken. Our starters duly arrived and they were delicious, sadly we waited a very long while for our plates to be cleared. Our mains arrived a bit later, unfortunately the wrong main had been served and we had to send it back, we sat for a while and then my husband asked for his dinner to be kept warm whilst waiting for mine. When we received the correct meals the food was delicious. We had then finished our mains and again waited a while for p...

We're visiting and found Franco's by chance and goodness are we pleased we did!! The service is spot on, traditional, honest to goodness customer service. Made us aware of their presence but were not overbearing. Friendly, chatted just enough for us to feel warm and comfortable but not so much to disturb our meal. I cannot find an appropriate adjective for the steak... I asked for a blue rib eye and was not disappointed. A perfect sear on an otherwise beautiful piece of butter soft meat. The sautéed potatoes were a seasoned offering to the gods. Excellent, cannot recommend enough. We will be traveling back the 120 miles just to eat here again.

We have been regulars at Franco's for the past 3 years, but the restaurant has undergone multiple management changes in recent months. Our experience in October, as evidenced by my previous review, was disappointing. However, we learned that the former chef had returned, so we decided to give it another try. Our meal was a hit and the service was back to its usual standard. Paul, the chef, impressed us with his fantastic seafood spaghetti dish and a trio of delectable desserts. It was a delightful evening and we plan to return again soon! Reserva una mesa ahora

On our family vacation, we celebrated our youngest daughter's 11th birthday with a special meal to mark her passing with flying colors and securing her place in the school of her choice. The food at the restaurant was fantastic and the staff was exceptional. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

I had a pleasant evening at this restaurant. I decided to come in on a whim, and despite it being a winter evening, I was greeted warmly by the staff, especially Shannon. The lamb and the chicken were both delicious. I would recommend this restaurant if you're in the area.

What can I say! Food and service was fantastic. We had a family meal for a birthday and we all enjoyed our food. Me and my husband went back the following week as we enjoyed it so much. We will definitely be returning.

Would have an extra star but our rib eye steaks were over seared, burnt. On our visit not many daily specials, only 3 starters and 2 mains.
