Just piling on here. But it needs to be known. Fran is completely the wrong person to own or manage a restaurant. She is a complete lunatic. Being an intelligent woman (she is an attorney, after all) you'd be shocked. During a visit to her old Metropolitan Cafe, my wife was served a piece of fish that reeked of amonia. Yes, amonia. That's a really bad piece of fish and should not have been served. We presented this to our server. He did not have to put his nose very close to smell the same thing. He seemed fearful, however, ... read more

Not good. – Like the poster below, I registered just to write this review. My experience was that bad. Would love to rate the food...but never got any (except for cold, crusty bread that seemed to have been soaked in olive oil). Showed up at 6:45 on Saturday night with a reservation. After ordering food and getting our drinks we never saw our waiter again except for a "drive-by" ("Everything OK here?" As he ran by without waiting for an answer.) After an hour with no food and no drinks past the first round I got up and went ... read more

Never Again – I felt so strongly about this experience that I had to register and leave a review. I've been to Fran's several times but after this last experience, I plan to never go back. (And I'd also like to mention that I have hardly ever sent back food.) We ordered the high dollar special and after waiting a long time to get the food, the potatoes were cold, the meat was overcooked and tough, and the salad was wilted--it's like it had just been pulled out of a refrigerator and warmed over. Okay...this is a totally fixab... read more

Dissapointed – I had very similar service. I went this past Sunday with friends to get lunch and they were short staffed. They only had 1 menu to give our table of 5 because there was apparently a large party in the back that had the rest. We then waited 10 minutes to order drinks. The waitress brought 2 of the drinks out but did not bring the 3 waters that had been ordered until 10 minutes after that. We paid for our drinks and left to go eat somewhere else. TERRIBLE service!

Invisible Guest – I have never NOT left a tip, until tonight. Two friends and I went to Fran's after reading some reviews and we were very sorry we did. We were seated quickly and offered menus and drinks but that's about the last time we received any service. From then we became invisible. The two other tables outside were seated after us but both ordered before us. Finally, Fran, the owner came to ask how everything was. We let her know we had not seen a server or placed our order. She took our order and apparently wrote i... read more

Disappointed – I was tempted to give Fran's 2 stars because the food was sorta good... but the uncomfortable atmosphere, slack service, and undrinkable margarita weighted my opinion more toward the 1 star rating. When we got there, the front dining room was almost unbearably hot. We were not offered a reason by the hostess or our waiter but I overheard someone telling another guest that the power had been out earlier. Partially forgiveable but it seems like it would have cooled off at some point while we were there. Our wait... read more

Would love to rate the food but.... – My husband, myself, and our 2 year old daughter drove all the way from ballantyne in south charlotte on a saturday just to try Fran's for lunch. We got there at 2 and saw one couple with a child ahead of us in line. The hostess came up to us and said because of the one party ahead of us it would be 25 minutes to get a table and by then they would be closed! All I will say is she could have been nicer or even a little bit apologetic. We turned and left and as we were leaving 2 parties lef... read more
