Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Barrington

Came to Francesca’s for Last minute Thanksgiving reservations because our other plans were canceled. The location is adorable and the restaurant was festive and inviting. Server was attentive and hospitable. Drinks were amazing- limoncello martini recommended by our waiter was perfectly not too sweet. Plenty of food options, Italian Charcuterie board had me back for seconds and the spinach apple salad was sooo good as were all the other traditional Thanksgiving dishes. The dessert table had many choices- I would buy a box of the green tea amaretto cookies! Overall it was exactly what we were looking for and not one thing to complain about. Thank you for a great evening.

Being my first time ever not having a homecooked Thanksgiving dinner I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I may suggest no orange or much less orange in the cranberry sauce. And I believe as far as the sides for the turkey dinner, I would suggest gravy be on the table along with the other sides. Turkey was outstanding, gravy was outstanding the dressing, I might have seasoned more with sage and such but was certainly good. All and all a great experience. Everyone in our party enjoyed it! The only thing lacking was leftovers.

Quick seating, good food. Server was attentive although I never received the red pepper or drink refill I requested. Otherwise, quick and tasty lunch experience.

The manager went out of his way to get us gift cards and points on our account. Waiter was attentive. Room was quite cold. Food was very good.

Tortellini house special is delicious. Chicken parmesan could feed a family. Generous portions. We had leftovers of both.
