Favorite spot in Secaucus! There are always great weekly specials and where can you find a restaurant that has happy hour every day. The French onion soup on special was just what I needed on the chilly day! I would always recommend The Franklin. Highly recommend their bunch as well.

I found this great little neighborhood restaurant for lunch on Tuesday and liked it so much I went back for brunch on Wednesday! Wonderful service from Kelly at the bar. Great burger and fries and wonderful eggs Benedict the next day. You really should check it out.

As a local, I’ve been coming to this restaurant since it opened and have recommended it to countless friends and family. It used to be one of my favorite spots. I’ve been here dozens of times, celebrated special occasions, and even encouraged my sister to host her daughter’s graduation dinner here earlier this year.
When they first opened, bread was brought to the table automatically. That later changed to bread only being served if you asked for it, which was fine. But during our most recent visit, a large group dinner with a bill over $900, we were surprised to see a $3 charge for each bread basket. It’s not about the $3. It’s about the principle. It felt petty, especially considering the size of our bill and the fact that bread was never charged in the past.
What made things worse was when I asked our server how a certain drink tasted. She brought me a small sample in a shot glass, which I thought was just a courtesy, and I later saw I was charged $5 for it with no warning. Again, it’s not the money, it’s the lack of transparency that was disappointing.
I suspect there has been a change in management. The food quality has slipped too. What once felt like a neighborhood gem now feels like a place cutting corners and chasing profits instead of taking care of its customers.
You didn’t just lose one customer over a $3 bread basket. You lost several. I won’t be recommending this place anymore. They did refund the $5 for the drink sample but told me the bread has always been charged. That’s just not true. But go ahead and keep the $6 for the bread. I’ll keep the thousands I would have continued spending here. Really unfortunate to see how far this place has fallen.

I have ordered several of their dishes and drinks, and they were all very good.
My favorites were the blackened shrimp with broccoli rabe, cacio e pepe arancini, and beef Bolognese with gnocchi.
