The Franklin

American restaurant · Bywater

"For a low-key neighborhood restaurant, the Franklin is also quite sexy — nice and dark except for the glowing bar and candlelit tables, with cool, sultry art, and antique furniture and finishes. Top-notch old-school martinis add to the vibe, to be enjoyed with shareable plates of mussels, shrimp risotto, and arancini." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono
