   We weren’t seated until 30 min after our reservation with barely an apology and no offer of a complimentary appetizer or anything. They were out of bread. They were out of the wine and chicken one of our friends wanted to order. As we were being seated I asked if we could sit at one of the vacant tables nearby that might’ve been a little more protected from the noise because my husband is hard of hearing (which I also asked for in our reservation)l notes), the hostess said the tables were being saved for a party of 12. That turned out to be a lie. 3 separate parties of 4 were seated at those tables.

   Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the poor experience you had during your visit. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait 30 minutes past your reservation time, especially with the additional issues regarding unavailable items and the seating arrangements. That’s certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we regret that we fell short in accommodating your needs. We will be addressing the concerns you’ve raised with our team to ensure better communication and more attention to our guests' specific requests in the future.We truly value your feedback, as it helps us identify areas for improvement.

   Food was really great, as usual. However, we had a 7 pm reservation on a Saturday night, but were not seated until 7:30. Seems there must be a system problem--like they are over-booking.

   We really enjoyed the restaurant week offerings. The beet appetizer and apple crisp like dessert in particular were outstanding. The service was also great. The only piece of constructive feedback is the size of your two top tables. They are tiny and don't work well for much more than a drinks and small plates.

   The portions were small and very expensive. It was over priced.

   Mia Francesca has a limited menu, which is one of its drawbacks, in my opinion. I'd like to see soup on the menu, for example, and a greater variety of dessert options. The quality of the food is good, and the kitchen uses fresh ideas to make the meal interesting. We visited for Restaurant Month and took advantage of the Prix Fixe menu. It had several delicious options of which our party took full advantage. The service has always been attentive and pleasant at Mia Francesca. However, if you're looking for a quiet dining room, you may decide to go elsewhere. Also, covered parking is limited, though there is a free valet service. Overall, a good value for a fine meal!
