I just wanted to give a great big welcome to Franklin and Bravo to Perenn! We got up and went early on Saturday for the grand opening, expecting a large line, knowing this city shows up in force for those who can display a mastery of their craft. Let me just say that you could tell the owners were overwhelmed with joy at the turnout and were a great face of the business.
On to the actual food... we went with the seated service on Saturday and were not disappointed in the least. The servers were all friendly, they had great smiles even though you knew there was the added stress of first impressions. The atmosphere was buzzing and all around us people were craning their necks as dish after dish came out of the kitchen. The Turkish eggs... there's no words. This is absolutely the best breakfast dish I might have ever eaten. You could tell there was a full understanding of balanced flavors that play well together. The standard breakfast was good, the potato being the star of that dish. So good with the crisp exterior contrasting the rich smooth interior, a true labor of love. The pancakes were another home run, a great "dessert" piece to the savory breakfast. They were fluffy, slightly crisp edges for texture and just out of this world.
So not to be accused of hype.. this place is so good we found ourselves back the next day after church. This time we stayed on the bakery side and were able to get the Lox toast, the ricotta toast and multiple pastries. I'm not embarrassed to say that over the 2 days we've enjoyed 8 pastries! I can't fathom how anyone could be disappointed with this new Franklin staple. The passion and love clearly show up through the food, decor and service. Bravo, we will definitely be back (many times over)
