Franklin Room pulls off everything you want in a restaurant: great location, friendly and responsive staff, tasty and interesting menu, and a quaint setting that made us feel welcome and comfortable.

This place is a gem. The food is consistently amazing with interesting flavors, well executed and presentation is good also! And the cocktails are spectacular. Well thought out, herbs and flavors that surprise and delight. It is our “go to” every time we are in town. Surprised it is not more busy on a Thursday, but it is a little hidden away
