    We decided to try the "new" Francesco's for an anniversary dinner before the theater next door at Actors Playhouse. We'd dined at the "old" Francesco's many times and hoped that the new location would stand up to our high expectations. It surely did! The menu is quite diverse and interesting. However, as we are both eating lighter meals these days, we decided to forego an appetizer and order entrees only. While deciding, I ordered their Passion Sour - it was excellent. My meal, their signature Lomo Saltado with Tacu-Tacu, was excellent. The quality of the meat and the degree of cooking was superb. The tacu-tacu was equally excellent, although somewhat different than at other Peruvian restaurants. My wife order the Cerviche Criollo. The portion was generous and she thought the dish was excellent as well. We did not order dessert as we were both fully satisfied after our main dish. As recognition of our anniversary, the waitress brought us two glasses of sparkling wine to toast our special day. An appreciated extra. We highly recommend this restaurant.

    We sat at the bar and wax served iced cold Prosecco the way I like it! This was One of the best gourmet meals we’ve had. Duck, short rib, lomo salteado, & tuna were superb as was the octopus appetizer. But the extra treat was being serenaded by Joe, the Cuban Frank Sinatra. What a powerful voice! It was a true dining experience. Delightful!

    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!"
