Francie Reviews from The Last Year
Came here 2/16/2024.
I thought Francie was great, well-deserving of its one star. Somethings I didn't like in the food but it's personal preference. Food: Razor clams were incredibly funky and honestly a bit repugnant. I would avoid. It left a heavy seafood funk all over your palate. Ravioli was elegant and delicious. Pappardelle was a particular standout with heavy-hitting umami that is incredibly hard to achieve in a meat sauce. Conchiglie was too salty. The duck was expensive for what it was but presentation was incredible. Service: Service was well coordinated and synchronized. Waiters were knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. Ambiance: Can't be beat. Ideal Brooklyn vibes and bustle. TLDR: Papparadelle and duck are pretty good. Try more apps and don't go family style. Portions are small.
Duck was really good.
I honestly think this is a good bang for your buck. Others idk. I ordered a salad, and it was so tiny. I finished it in two bites. Service is a bit curt and I'd say rude at times... we get it. You work at a Michelin star restaurant, but please do away with the rudeness and coldness.
Great restaurant for seafood, pasta, and duck.
Had a few well made Old Fashioned's. Oysters and prawns for appetizers, the crab pasta and one of their special pastas, and the roast duck. All were fantastic and the service was excellent. The manager even came by and threw in a mushroom pasta on the house. Great, lively ambience. Definitely recommend.
After reading all the 5 star reviews for Francie, I can't
After reading all the 5 star reviews for Francie, I can't help but feel disappointed after my own personal experience. We came on a Monday night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Ambience was okay -- cozy and dimly lit, nothing too special. I ordered the Francie Sour cocktail, which was .. almost bad. It was super watered down. When this was brought up to our server, she apologetically offered me different drink free of charge. I really did enjoy the souffle cakes with seaweed butter, meyer lemon and caviar. The texture was very soft and fluffy. The conchiglie pasta was amazing. The clams, bacon, white sesame pangrattato worked perfectly well together. The biggest disappointment of the night was their famous duck. Presentation was aesthetically pleasing enough. The chef presented the duck to us on a bed of flowers. I thought he would cut it table side, but he took it back to the kitchen to cut then brought it back out on a plate. He then proceeded to explain the dish then abruptly stopped and had the server take over. Service was a little weird, almost uncomfortable. It was like a surface level nice. For a Michelin-starred establishment, I expected more. The duck itself was a bit boring, not crispy enough. I liked the parsnip pairing. I think this dish would be great for people who don't regularly eat duck. Overall, it was just okay. Get the souffle cakes and conchiglie pasta if you go.
Five stars.
Absolute perfection Ambience: dark , sexy, wood panel with open view of kitchen at the back. Perfect for date night, celebrations, girls/ guys night. Reservations are a must. Service: impeccable from front of the house to servers. The maitre d'iva (love it) made you feel welcomed from the start. Everyone was attentive, knowledgeable and the water glasses were never empty. Food: - i loved the bomboloni- high end savory donut bombs. It is a must get - my family loved the foie gras canale -oysters were good but overshadowed by above. - entrees the duck is worth the hype. I'm not a big fan of duck, but this duck was amazing with the accompanied side dishes perfectly complemented the duck. If they bring out the duck (genius for social media posts) and then cut it for you and serve it a few minutes later. we loved it and for two people we had plenty for leftovers. - apple tatin was very good - drinks were excellent (sidecar was great). Overall, we had a lovely time and can't wait to go back
Wow - what an experience.
This is a quality experience from start to finish. It was packed on our visit and quite loud so be prepared for vibrant conversations all around. We decided to go family style and had the carpaccio, bucatini and dry aged duck. Each dish was outstanding in their own way. The carpaccio was tender, flavorful and delicate - just amazing! The bucatini was just perfect with great herb flavor and a beautiful sauce. I was skeptical about the duck but am glad we got it. The presentation shown in pictures is exactly what we experienced. It was cooked very well had amazing flavor and was rich and meaty. If you're feeling adventurous, definitely try it. For dessert we shared the apple tart that was better than expected (I prefer chocolate desserts).
Probably more of a 4.
5 but I rounded up. Overall had a lovely dinner experience. Service was really attentive without being pushy. Cocktails are definitely very pricey but well made-- instead of trying to hide the alcohol taste, they highlight and complement it instead. Soufflé cakes were a nice mixture of sweet and savory, caviar added a burst of umami. Duck was one of the most beautifully presented dishes I've seen and indeed very well cooked. Skin perfectly crispy and meat juicy on the inside. I will say, the way the cut the duck makes it cool really quickly but that can't be helped. Not sure if it was better than the duck I've had at other high end restaurants but I really enjoyed it all the same. The mashed parsnips side dish was delicious, was less a fan of the accompanying greens.
Clearly, one comes for the roast duck and we were not
Clearly, one comes for the roast duck and we were not disappointed. The starters include the soufflé and bomboloni which were both excellent. We next had the pastas - rigatoni with sausage was perfectly spiced and hearty, and the pappardelle simply delicious! The cocktails were mixed well. And finally the service was great we felt well taken care of. We will be returning and that's for sure!
Ahhhh Francie, still dreaming about the epic Friendsgiving
Ahhhh Francie, still dreaming about the epic Friendsgiving meal I had in late November. The presentation of the shellfish trio (oyster/clam/shrimp) was exquisite, and the clam's horseradish parsley sauce was an inventive and memorable touch. Carpaccio and souffle cakes were revelatory, both transport you to another world with that first bite! Conchigle was the sleeper, which we ordered at the suggestion of the waiter. I preferred it to the lobster ravioli. Dry Aged Duck was gorgeous, although I didn't love it as much as I thought I would, same with Roman Sourdough. But yall, don't sleep on that cheese cart! It was bananas. The perfect way to end an indulgent meal. Let your waiter be your guide - we chose four, and he chose the fifth, which blew the doors of perception open to a new level. I think we had a sorbet type thing as well at the end, but I was too stuffed to participate. Best meal of 2023. Thanks, Francie, can't wait to visit again.
Where do I begin: One of The Best Meals I had in Years,
Where do I begin: One of The Best Meals I had in Years, Thanks to Chef Cipollone - Outstanding!! From the minute we walked in , hostesses and owner at the front to welcoming us, to a great seat facing the open kitchen. We started with cocktails that were right on spot. I had a Buffalo Trace Manhattan, Wifey had her usual Tito's and Ginger Ale no fruit and got them right. Next came wine, we ordered the Ridge Estate Cabernet 2020 to go with our starters. We ordered a couple (snacks), and the kitchen sent out surprises as well....All outstanding: soufflé cakes, foie gras canele, duck mortadella. Next we had Spanish duck chorizo, Wife had salad,also superb. I remembered another dish that came which was so earthy; pumpkins with truffle, it had outstanding flavors, highly recommend. We decided to try a pasta and it delivered, the agnolotti with a cream sauce filled with a parsley and celery root filling..ummm. The kitchen was nice ended and sent out another pasta; ravioli with lobster and a lobster American sauce...hitting every note of deliciousness. With the mains about to come we order another Cabernet, Bella Union from Napa Valley 2018. Entrees exceeded expectations, I had the Halibut and Wifey had the Porchetini. What can I say but delicious, I'm sure I'm missing a course here and there, but all I can say is a huge thank you to Chef, his crew and waitstaff for an unforgettable night. I will be returning as soon as I get the chance. I totally recommend this establishment, definitely a jewel.
Good
Have been waiting to eat here for a long time, finally made it to NYC and had a delicious meal. The breads and appetizers were good, as were the pastas, even though the amatriciana was a bit heavy on the pepper heat. The Crown of Duck, couldn't wait to try, looks as good in person as the photos on the website. Yes it is good, but wasn't the best duck we had on this trip. The desserts were okay. Sticky toffee cake wasn't as good as many other places I've eaten it at for the past 15 years. The pumpkin creme brulee? Stick to traditional flavors next try. Take home lesson here? Kinda disappointed. Food: 4
