Food was outstanding. Escargot are a favorite and Frenchie’s version did not disappoint. Followed up with a fresh tomato and burrata drizzled in a decadent balsamic perfectly paired with a red blend from Burgundy.

Great service! Good wine pours too. The pizza’s came out ten minutes before the pasta dishes and everything was tepid in temperature, not hot at all. However, the flavors were quite delicious. A bit loud, but that’s to be expected in the environment for which it is, -it adds to the positive energy. We would go back again with specific requests to ensure timely and hot food.
