   Brought the family on Easter for the buffet. We really were not expecting a great experience since holiday brunch’s are usually just ok. It was rainy when we pulled up and were greeted by very nice valet service. Once inside we waited for a low table. The space was busy but not too crowded. Greeted by a very nice staff. The buffet was very, very good. Italian charcuterie, salads, hot dishes, carving station, omelette station and desserts. The whole family agreed, everything was delicious. We can’t say enough about our experience and can’t wait to try the regular menu. Thank you Francesca’s for a wonderful Easter.

   Easter brunch was one of the best I’ve ever had. We have a child in a wheel chair and the seating placement for five in the corner booth by the buffet table was perfect. The ham was spectacular. The prime rib was on point. The omelet station was perfect. The entire staff was attentive and very nice. Dinning out for our family is difficult. Francesca’s made our life a little easier. Thank you for a wonderful Easter.

   REALLY, REALLY expensive for Easter brunch. Prices weren't listed on OpenTable (and didn't see any price on their website) before making the reservation. If I knew I would have selected somewhere else.

   My son won his first baseball game and we went there to celebrate. He is young and so is his brother. They wanted to sit in the bar at a hightop table. That is where we sat and we had a great time. The waiter met all of our needs and they love the food. They couldn’t finish it all, so we were able to take some good grub home.

   The food was excellent. The calamari was crisp on the outside, tender inside, not at all greasy. Some of the best I've ever had. Lemon chicken was delicious as was the tiramisu for dessert. The restaurant was busy and loud on a Friday night. It could be difficult to hear if someone is hard of hearing. Despite how busy it was the service was fast and attentive.

    Very expensive. Salad was not good, but waiter removed from bill. Entrees were great, but mine was a bit spicy. Gelato was amazing. Latte and Cappucino excellent. We’ll go again, but not frequently.
