    When I made the reservation, I noted that my wife is hearing disabled and, therefore, we would appreciate being seated at a table in a quiet part of the restaurant. As soon as we walked in and identified ourselves, the hostess -- who we later learned was the owner of the restaurant -- recalled our note and offered us the quietest table she had. When I told her that I write the same note on every reservation I make, but never before had we been offered a quiet table (suggesting to me that restaurant operators do not read the notes), she said she spends time every day reading ALL the notes they receive on reservation requests. Next time we're in Camden, Franny's is definitely, absolutely where we will be eating!!

    Altho we were just here not three weeks ago, Franny’s ever gets tiresome. And last night I had the duck confit arugula salad for the first time and it’s very good! The confit is not dry, and the pears work well in the salad. And I had her crab cakes appe for dinner because they’re that good ,too! Busy at 7 last night but the service was very good, she was attentive and helpful without being annoying. A good night.

    Absolutely phenomenal dining experience. Savored every bite and I will be back! The chef and kitchen staff obviously know their stuff! Mussels: a must have! Shrimp dumplings and cucumber salad: exceptional! Try the ice cream and definitely the gingerbread! Fantastic waitstaff. All very warm and accommodating with great personalities.

    Great overall experience. Food was delicious service was overall great. The only complaint is the waiter had a tough time understanding that we were not in a rush to order. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

    Great dining experience, as always. This is our go-to for birthdays and other special occasions, when we want to have a great meal and a cozy atmosphere. Jack and Jen never fail to meet their high standards of food, service and ambiance.

    Frannys is simply the best - and getting even better. Sublime cuisine - delicious and creative. Lovely bistro - welcoming and happy vibe. Superb service. Wonderful menu - everything would be a great choice. Their three specials sounded amazing. The duck salad was bliss. Kraken, mussels for Jen, and Portuguese seafood and linguine were perfect. You smile the next day just thinking about your delightful meal and time there! It is a treasure. Go.
