I'm kind of torn here. Food, service, and atmosphere was out of this world. However, portion sizes relative to price were about 20-25% out of whack and I'm comparing that against other high-end restaurants. When I consider being out of season and the total amount with tip, it would be kinda hard for me to justify going back relative to driving elsewhere. I really want to give a 3.5, but half stars aren't permitted. This is a bummer, because the food was really awesome, Camden has a lot of so-so places, and this is the best we've had in town. But I'd probably drive to Belfast or Rockland next time. Vegetarian options: Had a roasted veggie with grits option and vegetarian pasta. They also have nice salads. You'll likely find something that pleases you. Both seem nicely considered and not just "phoned in."
Excellent food, service snd vibe.....highly recommend.
Franny's is fabulous!! I highly recommend it. Great atmosphere and truly super food.
Easily one of the tastiest meals I ate in downtown Camden. Had the Arctic char and gingerbread cake w/ ginger ice cream for dessert. The owner is also very approachable. If you are in Camden, do yourself a favor and eat at Franny's Bistro for dinner!
Such a lively and hopping place on a summer Friday night, get a reservation! The location is cute and cozy and the staff was friendly and helpful and the food was also delicious. We were there near the end of the night and the chef came around to greet people and make sure everyone enjoyed their time.
We had a lovely dinner at Franny's last night! We both ordered the steak frites. Our server was wonderful, very attentive! I would defintely recommend Franny's Bistro to anyone looking for a delicious meal amongst a friendly atmosphere! 10/10!
We had a reservation. We walked in the front door to a woman at the bar yelling at the people that arrived before us to wait outside. They also had reservations. The woman who seated us was lovely. Our server was a nice young man, but he disappeared on us. We dined on the bread service 4.5/5, shrimp dumplings 4/5, halibut 4/5, and Shrimp Linguine 4/5. Good beer, wine, and spirits choices.
Absolutely outstanding food, service and locale! The owners were onsite, working and chatting with patrons. Make reservations in advance, and eat outside, if possible! Scallop/corn grits main was to die for, highly recommend if available on menu.
Ok I make a reservation here every single week I visit Camden Maine! Jen is the wonderful owner who always makes me feel so welcome. The rib and slaw dish is so unique—the flavors and the tenderness of the ribs melt in your mouth. The scallops and Portuguese seafood stew are so yummy. You will need a reservation. You will want to make many like me!
