The Franklin

Ownership spent $$$$ and many months to open this next version of The Franklin and it’s much better than its predecessors. Two levels, each level has a full service bar and tables tightly spaced. First floor has the oyster bar, second floor the restrooms. No booths. Menu is interesting. Specialty is the fresh oysters, fresh and tasty. Shrimp cocktail average at best for $4 each, not firm and medium sized. Fried mushrooms? Yes. But why not calamari or clam strips instead? Cornbread $8 is worth the splurge. Dill Caesar amazing. Entrees are sparse, no fresh fish of the day and sorry, salmon doesn’t qualify. And why no seafood pasta or seafood stew? Lobster roll excellent as were the decadent scallops. Sorry again, but no restaurant will get 5 stars with 3 oz. martinis at $18. Craft cocktails are good. Wine list very expensive for a place like this, $850 for Schrader, why offer it? No decent selections under $100. Obviously ownership trying to recover costs with elevated alcohol prices. Overall, very happy with our first experience and hoping for an updated menu that is more in line with their seafood twist. And love they accept reservations.

I had the pleasure of dining in the restaurant and it was a memorable experience. The seafood was fresh, that highlighted both creativity and respect for the natural flavors. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, with right seasoning and textures that elevated the dining experience. The staff were knowledgeable on the me u and offering excellent recommendations. This is a good choice for anyone who appreciates upscale dining and fresh seafood dishes. I would gladly return and highly recommend it. PS - Make sure you book a table in advance because they get crowded and the only available table is the open bar sitting

We just went for our 3rd visit and it was amazing! It is simple food with amazing flavors. They are not throwing foam on a plate or adding a bunch of fruit to a savory dish. No gimmick here, just great food slightly deconstructed. Our favorite dishes are the Caesar Salad, Clam Chowder, Oysters, Lobster Roll... all great! Also the staff are excellent and every time we have been we have enjoyed the service, even when we were seated right after a party of 30 and waited longer than usual! Beautiful outdoor space.

When we arrived, we were seated immediately, which we appreciated. However, after being seated, it took quite a while before anyone came by to greet us or take our drink/appetizer order. Eventually, we had to ask the (very sweet) hostess to check in with our server. When the waitress finally came over, she said, "I heard you guys are ready to order," which made it unclear whether she had been assigned to our table earlier or was just now being notified. We also noticed that other staff passing by to refill water didn’t seem especially friendly and didn’t introduce themselves — including our server, whose name we never caught. While we understand it was later in the evening and perhaps the team was winding down, the overall service felt a bit impersonal. That said, the food was excellent, and despite the lackluster service, we still chose to leave a 20% tip. We hope this was just an off night, because we would consider coming back for the food.

First visit, Arthur and his fellow bartenders were amazing. Great recommendations and background on where food is sourced. Gluten free options as well. Great food and experience, we will definitely be back.

We absolutely loved our experience at The Franklin Oyster Bar & Eatery! We came for the oysters, and they did not disappoint. So fresh, perfectly shucked, and without even a hint of fishiness. The restaurant itself is stunning, set in a beautifully restored historic space with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every detail is thoughtfully done, from Benjamin Franklin-themed wallpaper in the bathroom to the check being presented inside his autobiography book. Our server was a delight, sharing oyster facts and making us feel right at home. We left full, happy, and already planning our next date night here! 🤍🦪

Franklin Oyster Bar was great! The food was fresh and flavorful. Everything was consistently good and paired well. The service was amazing. friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Can't wait to come back!

Had the best meal at The Franklin! We shared a seafood tower with friends and it was super fresh. Also loved the Caesar salad (the croutons are so unique and delicious!), scallops, and the key lime ice cream tart was my favorite! The restaurant design is so well done! You really feel like you’re on the east coast. Bonus points for the cutest themed bathroom! Really enjoyed as a date night spot and can’t wait to go back!

This is an elegant restaurant that I feel will quickly become a neighborhood gem. Right in "downtown" Franklin, it is located in a renovated historical home, and has a large outdoor patio. Because it was chilly outside, I dined in their cozy indoor dining room. My server with very friendly, helpful and informative, taking the time to assist my mom with her menu selections. The menu is mostly seafood-focused with a daily selection of oysters and seafood. They have a thoughtfully curated wine list, but also offer cocktails and mocktails. We enjoyed the oysters, octopus small plate, smashed burger, and a side of coleslaw. The preparation of the octopus was the best I have ever had... perfectly tender and with flavorful accompaniments. I would also say the same for the dill coleslaw which was vinegar-based instead of made with mayonnaise. For dessert, we enjoyed their peanut butter, chocolate cake with banana sorbet. My mom typically doesn't like dairy-free desserts, but even she loved it! I would definitely return to Franklin Oyster Bar and Eatery. I highly recommend making a reservation well in advance as they book up quickly (this was my third try). In warmer weather, the patio looks like it would also be enjoyable.

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful truly it feels like dining inside a historic home full of character and charm, almost like being in the South. The food is incredible, with everything made from scratch, even the crackers and desserts. Our waiter, Samuel, was fantastic super friendly and attentive. The lobster roll was outstanding, and the desserts were just as amazing!

DELICIOUS, But UPSTAIRS IS A DOWNER We had a fun night and the food was good. * The lobster roll was perfectly cooked and easily the best in the area. * The dill caesar salad with polenta croutons was fresh and flavorful. * The burger, salmon, and chicken entrees were also hits with our group. Our servers were friendly but slow and disorganized; Hopefully, this improves with time. Unfortunately, we were seated upstairs, which was cramped and extremely loud (frat party decibel level!), making conversation nearly impossible. Next time, we'll be sure to sit in the main dining room or the patio. JAY, PLEASE SOUNDPROOF.

From start to finish, everything about our meal was fantastic. The atmosphere was warm and inviting--perfect for a relaxed evening out. We shared a variety of dishes including the burger, fries, Caesar salad, mushroom pasta, cornbread, lobster roll, and oysters--and every single item was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ingredients tasted high quality, and the flavors were well balanced across the board. The lobster roll was buttery was my favorite! I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying even more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Came here to celebrate a belated birthday dinner and my friend and I loved it! The area around it is super cute as you're driving in, as well as the building exterior. We had a wonderful server guiding us through the menu, and decided to start with à la carte oysters and mocktails that we both loved: we also split the dill Caesar salad and ended up ordering the cheese burger to split after the girl at the table next to us raved about it. We split a chocolatey dessert that was the perfect way to end the night!

Such an intimate venue with a great brunch menu and exceptional service. I can't wait to come back and experience their dinner menu as well. I met a friend here for a girl brunch and the experience did not disappoint. Staff were extremely friendly, had great suggestions about menu options and the cocktails were delicious. We both had two cocktails, oysters, two small apps and an entree. I want to go back to try their brunch burger (that is my go-to anytime I visit a restaurant so I tried to step outside of my normal order) but had the delicious shrimp and middlins - they were lighter, flavorful and I had leftovers to take home. Lovely experience from start to finish, I know they're a popular dinner spot so book ahead of time!

We loved this place so much e went back the very next week! I know Thai sounds crazy but we are vegetarian and their options were phenomenal -- our favorite were the fried green tomatoes!!! I highly recommend this place and the servers were really kind and super accountable.

Oof. Think this place is experiencing some growing pains. The good: Some of the food was very good. The salmon was excellent -- thick fillet, perfectly cooked medium, and flavorful. The seafood tower was also very good -- nice variety of oysters, solid shrimp, a little bit of lobster and a crudo. Pricey though at 65 for not much food. The bad: Some of the food just wasn't any good. The crab Louie was terrible. Almost no crab, lettuce tasted cheap, doused (I mean doused) in dressing. Also pricey for the portion, which was super small. The ugly: First, did I mention the prices? Way too high for the portions they serve. Second, while our waitress was awesome (shout out Hannah), the coordination and overall service was atrocious. We didn't get two dishes -- cornbread** and another appetizer -- despite asking quite a few times for them. When they finally did bring them out -- well after we had finished dinner -- we had already spoken to someone to get them cancelled. (To their credit, they didn't charge us.) Took like five asks to get a refill of a Diet Coke (did charge us for that, ha.) **they kindly gave us some cornbread to take home, and it was quite good. If they lower their prices (or enlarge their portion sizes commensurately) and get their act together on the service front, think this place has a good amount of potential. Not there yet though...

Loved our experience at The Franklin!! Such a great addition to the area and nothing disappointed! Highly recommend the crudo and oysters (of course) and the prosciutto plate and salad were the perfect addition.

This is really closer to 4.5 stars. I would definitely return. We loved the previous restaurant and absolutely love the patio. The lobster roll was good but it's tough to spilt. The fried green tomatoes were an interesting take but just tasted like fried something. The biscuits were a miss. Tiny and not the right consistency. But the pimento spread was amazing. Entrees were good but the pasta was undercooked. All the desserts were absolutely fantastic. If this review is critical it's because the prices are really high. If it was 20% cheaper this would be a solid 5 star. We'll definitely go back but probably more for drinks and apps/dessert

My husband and I dined at The Franklin on a Wednesday evening. Reservations are a must. We started with a dozen east coast oysters. Lovely presentation with mignonette, cocktail and Tabasco sauces plus extra horseradish- nice touch. Next- amberjack crudo. Served with scallions and avocado. Just enough but did not mask the taste of the fish. Next, hot honey octopus (forgot a pic). Served warm with a cool avocado mousse. Lastly we shared the scallops entree. Served with a corn puree and greens. Four large scallops. All dishes are shareable and what I liked most is they were small enough for two people to share a number of dishes. We probably could have ordered one more small plate, however I was perfectly satisfied. Our server was friendly, attentive but not hovering. The restaurant was bustling. They fit a lot of people in a small space. It gets loud, crowded and the bar area was packed you could barely get by. The weather was overcast, however on a nice day the patio is super cute and I'd like to sit outside. They also have The Pavilion that looked like it could be used for events like a shower. Nice drink menu with fancy cocktails, an extensive wine list and a few craft beers. Definitely check out The Franklin!

We went for brunch and this place has excellent brunch and a great cozy vibe! The waiter had amazing customer service and great recommendations! I can't recommend this place enough!

Loved the house crackers, the seafood tower was fresh. Highly suggest the crudo!!! The dill salad was delicious probably the best salad I've had, the crotons were a delightful surprise. The mushroom ravioli was also great. I do feel the octopus fell short, and the scallops were just ok for me.

Over all a very nice experience, truly a lovely renovation. We were excited to try many dishes, so my husband and I decided to order and share from the small plates section of the menu. We started with fresh oysters and a Caesar salad. Both were exceptional and will bring us back. Next course was one of our usual favorites, mussels with sausage and bread. It was tasty, but seriously the smallest portion of mussels we have ever received... and we've ordered them a lot. The small 1/2 slice of toast that came with it was a flipping joke especially with the already slim portion. Nothing to enjoy the broth with! Also, my personal opinion: when serving a rich dish, the toast doesn't need to be buttered. We rounded out dinner sharing a lobster roll and bowl of clam chowder. The exceptional, but very small lobster roll made every bite quite dear. It was truly perfectly seasoned and incredibly delicious. After 25 years of going to cape cod annually, this Michigander has had her share of clam chowders. Their presentation was gorgeous, had fab textures, fresh colors that all made for a truly beautiful bowl. I will say the chowder was delicious, but although there were plenty of clams present, it was potato forward. Maybe a wise choice for midwestern tastes (?) Overall we enjoyed ourselves and will return, especially to sit at that cozy bar when the snow flies.

A pleasant atmosphere, and a nice patio for drinks or outside dining. We waited a bit too long for our server, but she was attentive from then on. Food quality is good, but small portions & quite expensive and everything is à la carte. The biggest downer was the tiniest lobster roll I've ever seen. I don't know why they ask when I made the reservation, if you're celebrating anything (wife's birthday) because they do absolutely NOTHING. Ohh sorry, after I ordered a $16 slice of cake they did serve it with a small candle It's too bad since I can walk to the restaurant. *4 friends went tonight 7/12, they ordered the Seafood Tower expensive but fresh & tasty. They celebrated a birthday and also received NOTHING ‍

We lovedddd our dining experience at the Franklin! The fresh raw bar & oysters were some of the best I've had. The caesar salad and the warm, soft croutons deserve its own shoutout. The stuffed elephant ear was delicious, and the seared octopus was full of flavor. Ended with a smooth espresso martini! The whole place has a great vibe and beautiful design, they truly thought through the smallest of details. The bathrooms were all so cute and so different. Staff is very friendly and inviting. Can't wait to go back! Definitely our new date night spot

Where do I start? We were there for a birthday, clearly stated in our reservation, and they didn't lift a finger to do a damn thing special or accommodating. Then, on top of that, our main dishes took nearly a full hour to arrive from the time we sat down (probably 50 or so minutes after we ordered). The food that did arrive was tasty but also either lukewarm or cold like it had been sitting out for a long time. The waiter was continuously apologetic for the delay but also very, very distracted with other tables, offering he had made his general manager aware of the issues, and then nothing. Crickets. The meal concluded with a full price bill and the waiter hoping we would come back while they "iron out the issues with their system." Whatever the hell that means. To me, the dinner boiled down to, "look we know we effed up, but hey, we still have our training wheels on so give us a break, here's the bill and goodnight." There's screwing up and owning it to communicate a repeat trip might be worth it, and then there's the experience we had... The Franklin needs to do better.

Prices are high and portions are small. The martini glasses are mini size, but the prices are high $18-$20. Lobster roll is good, but it is 2 bites and mostly bread.

Was very excited for The Franklin to open up and it did not disappoint! So nice to have a new restaurant in this area. Our server was super friendly and helpful with the menu. It is really pretty inside and feels like you're in Charleston or somewhere out east. Great date night spot! My husband and I shared some oysters, a caesar salad, the sea scallops and the cucumbers. Everything was fresh and delicious! Cocktails were great too. I really liked the tequila drink called the Pearl and they made a great espresso martini. Also, don't skip dessert! I didn't get a photo but the key lime pie was amazing!

Terrible food , tiny drinks and prices that are not worth eating there ever ‼ Service was ok Ambience very nice Been twice , never going back Bring back the old Franklin Grill

First visit here last night where I met a friend at 10:00. I had a res though didn't think I needed one that late. Most places have emptied out by then. Upon arriving I was surprised how busy it was inside and even busier in the beautiful outside area. I really like the interior but recommend eating outdoors if weather is good. We were just there for a light bite. I ordered a lobster roll and fries. The lobster roll is on the small plates menu and, as others have mentioned, it is a small roll for sure but for $26 that's not surprising since they are usually $35+ at upscale restaurants. It was a very good roll as were the fries. My friend had oysters he enjoyed and also some shrimp. The shrimp didn't look particularly large for the price. All in all I enjoyed the food and the ambience and service was spot on so I do recommend the restaurant....just recognize portions are not huge and prices reflect the prime location.

Waited 18 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. Front desk hostess was unapologetic and completely blah about the situation. She claimed the delay was because they couldn't figure out how to process a gift card, but it was clearly a case of not having attentive staff. While waiting for our entree, a server tripped and bumped into another waitstaff person, who then knocked water on me. Tables are packed together. Sturgeon appetizers was bland and nothing exceptional. Entrees of scallops and salmon were very good, as was the lobster mac & cheese. Bill came to $224. Not worth it. I give this place one year. Obviously not astute business people at the helm. Not worth the price.

What a great place. We sat outside in arguably the nicest outside venue. A courtyard, with fireplace, couches for sitting and having a drink and nice dinner tables and chairs. The service was great. They had a large staff out there attending to customers needs. The food was great. The menu was not large but everything we had was excellent. I would rather have a small menu with excellent food, then a large menu with so so food. Had oysters that were really fresh and tasty. Then a really excellent Ceasar with polenta instead of croutons, the polenta was great. Then, mussels with great tasting sausage, excellent. Then the best, the scallops. I'm not a fan of scallops, now I am. They were terrific. Dessert was a real treat. Lemon meringue tart. Also, chocolate bourbon pecan ice cream. All in all the food was terrific.

Our server was incredibly personable and attentive. Of course, we arrived at opening time, and almost nobody else was in the place. Still, she both made food/drink recommendations, and shared information about her personal life. The oysters were good. The menu is small but has enough for almost any taste. We had the mushroom ragu pasta and scallops. Both were tasty. The space has been updated in a fun way that still keeps the traditional feel of an 1800s house.

Had a great first experience, our brunch was very good, great environment. Our waiter Alex was top notch!

Franklin Oyster Bar was great! The food was fresh and flavorful. Everything was consistently good and paired well. The service was amazing. friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Can't wait to come back!

What a tasty adventure, our first culinary cornucopia in Detroit. We were luckily guided to a delightful brunch at the Franklin Oyster Bar & Eatery where we were graciously greeted by Taylor and Abby and gratefully seated at Justin's table. He was knowledgeable and affably guided us through our sumptuous courses. Sam, the bartender, crafted luscious libation and playfully paired repartee. His bar craft regaled us with passion and expertise. Accenting our luxurious experience, we were privileged to meet Exec. Chef Nick and Chef John who we appreciated for cooking such care into their artistry. Chef Carly curated the perfect culmination to this gorgeous gastronomy with the famous cinnamon roll, which Chase delivered with the happiest countenance. Thank you Berto for your talented team and epicurean 'delectables' - a memorable beginning to our holiday with family.

Have been wanting to try Franklin Oyster Bar since it opened a month or so ago, and grabbed the first opportunity when it came up. All in all, a very positive experience, with a few caveats. First, the good. The dining area is a charming space, with (it seems) additional seating upstairs. There is also a covered outdoor area next door to the main restaurant, suitable for special events. This was not in use the evening we were there. Our server was a very capable gentleman, who gave us top-notch attention. Most important: the food. We shared a lobster roll, one of several small plates on offer. For our entrees, I got the linguine with clams. It consisted mostly of medium- wide noodles, a good quantity of clams in their shells, served in jus. It might have been improved by serving some French bread to soak up the liquid, but the flavor was quite nice. We mentioned this to the general manager, who was working the floor - he said he would bring this to the chef's attention: very good. The co-diner departed from the seafood theme and ordered chicken with pepper and a vegetable mixture. He found the dish to be well-prepared and flavorful. We ended our meal with French press coffee, which was very nice. Now, the caveats. First of all, if you want to try the establishment (which this Yelper encourages), be sure to book well in advance. We secured a table about a week ahead of time, but had to take an early dinner time. Parking was more than adequate, so no worries there. We did find the ambient noise of the other diners to be a bit excessive, particularly for older diners like us. If the place could install some noise dampening ceiling tiles, this might help. In sum, a fine addition to the suburban dining scene.

We had reservations at 8:15, which is on the late side, especially as I was with my 88 year old mom. We got there a little early and they seated us. We picked out what we wanted and ordered. They brought us our wine. Then in a bit they brought us our oysters. The oysters got cleared away and we waited for the rest of our food. At 8:59 the waitress comes and tells me that they ran out of my dish. At that point I just ordered what I thought might be fastest. What a disappointment that they can't mange their orders and kitchen better. We won't be returning.

Unfortunately, this restaurant is not readily accessible for wheelchair users. The threshold at the front door is very high. I was unable to navigate my husband's wheelchair by myself. Two female employees at the door (hostesses I presume) stood by and watched as we struggled mightily to get in. A woman across the street saw us struggling and ran over and helped us get in. I've honestly never seen employees of a restaurant not help a disabled person get into the restaurant. This was extremely disappointing and honestly just about ruined the meal. A very unpleasant first experience for that reason.

I've dined here twice and plan to many more times! Every menu item I have tried so far has been a 10/10. The atmosphere and vibe is immaculate; the interior decor is gorgeous but I am left in awe when it comes to the outdoor patio. It's cozy yet open, simply and elegantly styled. The service is excellent. The staff is so personable and caring and you can tell that they all genuinely love what they do. So excited to have found a great new spot to enjoy this summer/fall!

Great Food! Steaks were outstanding, scallops were amazing, everything was outstanding. Didn't expect the level of cuisine, seafood, desert, wine etc. We sat at the Bar and were well cared for by the bartenders. They could not have been nicer, and he recommended a great bottle of Pinot Noir. Deserts were beautifully presented and did not disappoint. The new decor is much different as it should be for a much more upscale FG. I liked the vibe Al here and will definitely make this a regular stop. Several people at the bar ordered the burger and all said it was very good

Went here the other night, wasn't that impressed. The bartender with tattoos was amazing though, the drinks were on point.

I am sad to say that I was highly disappointed with the service at this restaurant/bar. I heard the chef saying inappropriate/rude things to his staff. Seeing as this is a fine dinning establishment it was incredibly inappropriate and left a sour taste in my mouth. I can say the only reason I would go back is the bartender I didn't catch his name but he was incredibly kind and had tattoos.

Did a carry out from here. We were very disappointed. We cannot believe how much we paid for what we got. We ordered the burger, which was fine but not special, and the salmon. I've never had a portion size of salmon ordered from an upscale restaurant like this one. We weighed it on our scale and it was less than four ounces. I can't even say how it tasted because it was so small. We also got the kabocha squash that was listed under "mains." How anyone could order this as a meal and have that be enough is beyond me. I spent less last night elsewhere and got way more to eat. My recommendation is to dine elsewhere too.

The food is really outstanding! Every plate we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I really suggest the lobster roll and the country ham. Hands down, some of the most delicious food I've eaten lately! Excellent service and a robust wine selection. Everything was fresh. The elephant ear dessert didn't disappoint. I will keep coming back for the food, service and comfortable atmosphere. Can't think of a better place to spend an evening. Must try!

A friend and I had dinner here last night and while the food was delicious and the design and ambiance of the place were beautiful there were some unsettling details we noticed. I got the dill caesar salad to start and it was fantastic, the croutons were the best part, and she started with the crudo which we both loved. For the main course I ordered the clams linguini and she got the lobster roll. While everything was tasting great I asked for some bread to soak up the broth at the bottom of my linguini dish and it took almost 15 minutes to come out. However the bartender did run back there multiple times to check on it for us to no avail. By the time the bread came out not only did I no longer want it but it was brought out by a chef with a big beard and a nasty scowl. I did not appreciate the way he talked to his staff and our bartender, very arrogant and condescending. It made us really uncomfortable and almost ruined our whole experience seeing the way these people were being treated when they were simply trying to give the best service possible and get us that toast. I don't think I will be back after witnessing that when my friend and I were just trying to have a nice night out. On a lighter note, our bartender was knowledgeable, personable, and experienced. He truly saved the night! Our drinks were perfect so shout out to him! I cant remember his name but he had tattoos down his arms. Get rid of that nasty chef and this place will be untouchable!

Food is amazing - been a couple of times for dinner and brunch and was definitely not disappointed! Get the burger! Our service both times was great and the ambiance is beautiful - feels like a piece of the East Coast nestled in Franklin. Go for delicious food and a warm atmosphere.

What an amazing experience! The Franklin is officially our new favorite spot. The team here clearly knows how to create an experience worth returning for. The cocktails were excellent, a fun twist on the classics, and the food was absolutely delicious. It was tough to choose from such an enticing menu, so we ordered more than we should have and had zero regrets. We couldn't pass on dessert, and wow, I'm so glad we didn't. Every bite was incredible! It's clear that Gerti and Nick pour a lot of heart, intention, and hard work into making The Franklin a truly top-tier, hospitable experience, and they absolutely delivered. We WILL be back!!

I came to The Franklin with a friend for dinner. We were seated upstairs which was fine, but the table and chairs seemed like were in a southern backyard, but not in a great neighborhood. I ordered the fried green tomatoes and scallops. My friend ordered crab louie salad and the lobster roll. neither of us were impressed by the food. My scallops arrived at the table tepid, but I didn't want to wait any long then we already had, so I just ate them. For the prices, I was expecting more. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Perfection! Cocktails, food, service and ambience were all amazing! Make reservations but you could get lucky and get a couple seats at the bar that hosts 10.

Food tasted good, but there wasn't enough. Martini is mini-sized, but priced high. My water glass was empty for last half of the dinner, on a very hot day. We had to ask for salt, pepper, and parmesan, which was slow in coming. We sat upstairs... sit downstairs if you can! Menu could be bigger. I didn't see any entre's I wanted, so ordered a 'small plate', which was delicious, but extremely small. Parter got linguini with clams, and it was incredibly small, and it wasn't linguini, it was fetticcinie! Upstairs was loud. We were disappointed, we live in Franklin and wanted a great place to walk to. This isn't it.

We have been here two times. Food and drinks are outstanding. Only complaint is the second floor gets noisy when full. We also sat in their patio which was wonderful. Staff was very good both times

Had dinner tonight ! Soooo delicious ! We sat on the patio and it was amazing ! The food the ambiance . My friend and I felt like we had escaped Michigan and gone away for the weekend .

Overall, this was pretty meh. I had the scallops, and the portion could not have been smaller, especially for the price. My wife had the mussels. Three of them came to the table unopened, which means they were dead when they cooked them. They never should have left the kitchen being unopened. To the restaurant's credit, they removed them from the bill. Our server went missing for long stretches and was not the most attentive. Our guests had burgers and said they were good. In total, the meal and experience were fairly disappointing.

Our Waitress was amazing. We ate outside on the side patio and was the perfect night. The grilled octopus was Awsome. The lobster roll melted in your mouth. And the burger.. man, so good. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing...what an incredible place. Gerti and Berto have a great staff. Alex took amazing care of us. The Lobster Roll, the osters...I could go on and on. My hat to the chefs, they rock!

Small portions, overpriced, no sides come with entree. No hot vegetables available even to even to order a la carte. No soups. They List the price of each vodka for example but it cost more to have it in any kind of mixed drink. I left hungry and dissatisfied. Not even bread to soak up the sauce for the linguine with clams. Not even rice with the four medium sized scallops you get for $43. I Won't Go Back.

This place is absolutely gorgeous! Franklin needed this, and it did not disappoint. Ambiance gorgeous, staff wonderful, and food was outstanding!!!! The seafood platter unbelievable! All the food we had was out of this world. Thank you for opening this little gem. Looking forward to Polly's opening next door.!!
