Overall, they are too expensive for marginal food. The place was busy and the service was very good, but it is not worth a return visit. We ordered the cheese plate and received three small pieces of cheese with a few grapes and nuts around the meager presentation. My rib eye steak was old, borderline rancid and overcooked for medium rare, but the French fries were outstanding. Two dining companions had the rainbow trout, which they said was not fresh and they would not recommend. The seafood stew was good, as was the sorbet. The opera cake was tough and chewy, while the crème brulée was good.

Great food, but slow service. My girlfriend and I went out for a weekend dinner here and took advantage of a Groupon deal. We had ordered their ribeye and mussels – the ribeye came out a perfect medium rare with a great sear and the mussels in a wonderful and flavorful sauce. We were going to order dessert, but we were too stuffed! The waiter was also very helpful with explaining the menu, but I wish he had shortened the intervals of checking in on us, so we didn’t have to wait so long to order and to clear the check.

Franco is my favorite restaurant in St. Louis in the same way that Yadier Molina is my favorite cardinal. They’re absolutely fantastic at what they do best, and they’re consistently solid at most everything else. They’re so good, in fact, that any flaw you might want to point out ends up being just as endearing as Molina’s (lack of) speed.

If you love real French food, the salty, fatty, rich food of the terroir, this is the best place in St Louis, one of the best in America. They really have the spirit of the cuisine down, miles away from anything stuffy or pretentious.

We had dinner at Franco for the first time and loved it. We will certainly be back. The Loup de mer was perfection. Everyone at our table was very impressed with the quality of the food.

One of the very few French places in town (surprisingly), it would still be at the top of the heap even if there were numerous competitors.
