    This is my fourth time dining at Francesco’s. Unfortunately, it was subpar on Saturday night. Our server’s energy was frozen out. She did apologize and stated that she was given too many tables at the same time. She neglected to put in our order of a second round of drinks. She was very delayed to offer dessert and our bill. This clearly affected our dining experience. As for the food, the wonton appetizer was just okay. The New York strip was cooked medium rare when medium was requested and my wife had to begin eating without me. Her calamari risotto was good but salty and in the end my NY strip was poor quality and littered with fat. I don’t know if I will be returning soon. I get a feeling that Francesco’s lacks consistency which happens a lot with Miami dining.

    We had a terrific experience despite our very early reservation to allow us to go to an event afterwards. Because our reservation was for 5:15 it was very quiet and we chose to eat outside so we don't really know what the prime time vibe would be. But the food was outstanding and the service was too. Guadalupe was our server and she made the experience extra fun. We're looking forward to returning and spending some time strolling and shopping along the "Miracle Mile!"

    The waiter, Alejandro was very attentive. He gave us enough space to talk but was very knowledgeable about the menu and dishes. We questioned his recommendations until the food arrived and realized he suggested perfectly and kept us from ordering something that wouldn’t have been as good. The grilled octopus was nice and tender and the traditional Peruvian Ceviche was different but is my new favorite. As fans of Peruvian food, the pisco sour was spot on. Definitely a great date night dining experience.
