The cocktails, thoughtful and spirited, offer another layer of enjoyment, from local flavors to classic twists, complementing the ease and intimacy of the meal.

Franny’s is not about rushing through dinner. Instead, it invites you to slow down, enjoy a well-balanced meal, appreciate the camaraderie around your table, and perhaps linger a little longer over a perfectly torched crème brûlée or a final sip of wine. It’s a place that feels lived-in but polished, familiar yet discoverable—one of those rare restaurants where everyone seems to know your name by the second visit, and that genuine connection carries through every interaction.
