Restaurants near Kelley Park

On this busy Valentine night, it was our tenth wedding anniversary, and our server Courtney was wonderful! We ordered some of our favs: the hubs loves the lobster bisque and the surf and turf. I had the special: brown butter scallops on top of jasmine rice with spinach in a wonderful buttery balsamic reduction. NOTE: the portion size of the scallops was VERY generous and well priced (by comparison, I once ordered scallops at another local winery type restaurant, and it was served - I kid you not - three scallops in a row on a long plate with NO SIDES for nearly the same price as CH). The sauce esp was sumptuous and the scallops were cooked to perfection. I had the recommended wine with the scallops as well: the Artists SAG awards White Blend. I had to have the chocolate cremeaux dessert: a chocolate mousse with a toffee cream on top, and whipped cream with toasted coconut, almond, chocolate crunch on top of that. DIVINE! I also ordered a glass of sparkling almond wine which was our wedding drink. Simply delicious! Courtney celebrated our wedding anniversary with us (we were married at a different CH ten years ago) and was knowledgeable, caring, and non-intrusive. Loved this dinner! Will be back of course!

There was initially a bit of crisis upon arrival because I was informed that the igloos on the 12 floor rooftop for Valentine's night were overbooked and I was "the last one who had booked" (3 wks ago! maybe a call by now?), so that they were shifting us to an inside private room instead. This was very disappointing as the igloo experience was key to eating there for a Valentine's date. Luckily, just as I was about to tell the other three of us the disappointing news, a few of the parties there were already sat in the igloos decided it was too chilly out there and came in, freeing up an igloo so that our reservation could be fulfilled. Aside from that our server was a saint, having to run in and out of the building in the literal blizzard, was still very attentive to come out and check on us and we tipped her accordingly. The fancy apps we split: poutine, brussel sprouts, nachos, flatbread, etc. were all very tasty and we had a great time in our "snow globe". We are eager to go back and eat on the roof in the summer to enjoy the contrasting feel!

Once, again, a wonderful meal at Francescos. The bartenders were great and the wait staff was terrific. Our dinners were excellent and the portions were huge. Will continue to recommend Francescos to everyone.

It was great! Food was delicious! Waitress was awesome!

The food was delicious!! The service was good but he was very busy because it was Valentine’s Day. We did not receive our $25 off on our receipt and due to time constraints…we just figured we will use it next time. We were there almost two hours…it took a long time to get our orders, our food, my gf bread, water and water refills but the food was delicious (as always).
