    Love visiting a place so steeped in history. Food was good but service sub par. Our server was terrible. Upon ordering we didn’t see her again until we had to flag her down for the check. We wanted to order additional items but she was nowhere to be found and the only other server left in our area was so busy it took so long we decided against ordering.

    Another Great Experience at Frances Tavern. The Hostess greeted us warmly with a smile and was very welcoming, also acknowledging our family was celebrating a Birthday. Our Service was Wonderful, Kind and very attentive. The Food and Drinks were delicious and a culinary delight.

    La comida malísima, el precio muy caro y la camarera no puso nada de su parte por ayudarnos. Las patatas tipo macdonald. Lo de la propina un robo. Dejar 140 euros, un 20 por ciento del Ticket, es un robo. Con ese dinero cena una Dalí mía en España.
