- JFJosephFGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 21, 2025We were greatly pleased with our first dinner evening such that we changed our plans for our second dinner evening on a two night stay in Camden. As a belated Valentine's Day celebration, I made a special request of a charming table, which was nicely adorned with an "I Love You" balloon, which we thought was a nice touch. We were then greeted by a nice young man, who as it turns out, was new to the server role...he did quite well! He felt badly about breaking a cork in our wine and the owner then approached us with another bottle. We told her we would gladly take the first bottle, but she insisted. We started with the grilled romaine, which was out of this world-by far the best I have had. Then, I had the Portuguese Seafood and Linguine, which was just the right amount of heat and the seafood was incredibly fresh, with large sweet, tender mussels, large shrimp and scallops that were perfectly tender and not overwhelming. I will say my entree was a toss up between this and their lamb special-but I will get back to that. The chef, also co-owner, made a visit to our table which was a pleasant surprise. I had to share my impressions of his creations-they are quite good. So, with this experience, my wife and I decided we were not going to go to our other planned restaurant, but rather return to Franny's since our experience was quite good. That allowed me to have their special lamb chops, which were out of this world. They were clearly New Zealand lamb and Chef's presentation and mastery were not lost on me. I had to share with him that they were by far the best lamb chops I have ever enjoyed...including my own! We had limited options since this is the off season, but that ended up being a special bonus because we cannot think of having dinner anywhere else when we return. If you like a wonderful atmosphere (also a special nod to the 70's decor and vibe), great food, great service & an overall wonderful experience, then give Franny's a try, you will not be disappointed!!More infoFrannys BistroPrice: Very Expensive• American• Camden•4.9

- AAdrianna1 review5.0Dined on Feb 15, 2025This was a fantastic, and romantic date for me and my significant other on Valentine’s Day. The menu was small but delicious. Very small place with a bar and tables. Lighting gives a romantic feel and the music isn’t your typical feel but still was enjoyable. We ordered the lasagna and the filet mignon. They were amazing and so flavorful and tasted very healthy and organic. We also got the flourless torte cake I believe it was and trust me get it! It was delicious. Overall very happy with this experienceMore infoThe Block SaloonPrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Bangor•4.6
