Great food. Actually, excellent. Awful host/hostess service. It’s a shame that a place that does such an amazing job with food can’t get customers seated in a timely fashion. The past 3 times I’ve been here I never get seated on time with reservations. On my birthday in an empty dining room the host sat there and spent his time texting. We are at the bar. Great food. Absolutely terrible host service. If you can bare the terrible first impression, sit down, eat the food it’s worth it.
Horrendous experience. We made reservations for 730pm, we show up and they tell us it will be a couple minutes…fast forward ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES later and we are just being seated. the waitress was fine, she did not seem to care about our wait experience when we mentioned it though. On top of that, no one even apologized to us, and we were there to celebrate a special occasion, so much for that. the food was also mediocre at best, not all it was hyped up to be. Sadly, i hate to sound negative, but this is the truth. I will never go back here. We heard such great things, had high expectations, and sadly we were tremendously let down. salut, francescas.
This restaurant has great ambience as it manages to be romantic, but not stuffy. Service was slow to start and we waited about 15 minutes to order, but our server was apologetic and spot on the rest of the night. The portions here are quite large so I would definitely say that we got our moneys worth. We started with the goat cheese fritter which was absolutely wonderful. As my main I got the mussels Francesca which were boasted as a signature dish and i would say they lived up to their title, it was quite good. My girlfriend got the chicken Vesuvius, her portion was huge, but flavors were just ok and didn’t really wow me. Overall a great spot to dine in Syracuse and we will be back.
Spring Break 2013. Sopped in for lunch on way to Seneca Lake wine country. We had the stuffed red cherry peppers which were delicious. The cream of mushroom soup was the best we ever had. The sale with grilled shrimp, candied walnuts was quite tasty. Topped it all of with Argentine merlot. Wonderful lunch. Will definitely return again from Indiana.
Great food, great bar, great time. So I agree with one of the reviews as far as the hostess goes. I don’t know if it was the same one but we too had reservations and waited 40 minutes for a table even though others were sat before us. I’m pretty sure she forgot us but another guy who was watching over her grabbed us the minute I asked how much longer and sat us. But the bar was great and the bartender was super nice so it wasn’t really an inconvenience. You’d just think a hostess would know what she was doing in a busy establishment.So after we were seated the rest of the night was awesome. Our waitress, Crystal, was SUPER nice and helped a couple of us out with dinner choices. She was spot on with her recommendations too. There was a good choice of specials although I was very disappointed when I saw a dry aging cooler near the bar but none of the steak choices were dry aged. I’m a sucker for good dry aged beef and order it whenever it’s available. To see a couple hundred pounds of it in a cooler like that and not able to order it was a real disappointment. I was surprised on a Saturday night it wasn’t on the specials list. At any rate, the bread was homemade and delicious. The dinner salads were fantastic. It’s nice to see fresh anchovies on a Ceaser salad. Not a lot of restaurants go the extra on those. Two of us ordered the Delmonico and it was a fantastic tasting cut and they cooked it very nicely. Two others order pasta/chicken entrees and they were enormous. You definitely get your moneys worth as far as portions are concerned. Also, all the deserts were made on there and they were great. They also have a house Sangria and contrary to another post, it was good. I make my own in the summer and this was very good. Highly recommend Francesca’s! But do come a little earlier than your reservation. You will need some time to fine a parking spot. It is in the city and it’s mostly street parking so you’ll need to walk a bit once you find a spot.
The patio was fantastic but the food was not very good. The menu had many choices but all our selections were lacking flavor. I wouldn’t order the Sangria.
Took my girlfriend here for our anniversary. Great atmosphere, food, and drinks. She asked for a Strawberry Daiquiri… wasn’t on the menu. Bartender made one anyway and it was fantastic!!! Girlfriend loved it.
