Decided to do a dinner/ cocktail hour here to kick off my birthday weekend, and they did not disappoint! They offer a variety of craft cocktails, delightful desserts, and wonderful mains. They even offer valet parking so you don’t have to search the “mean streets of Montclair” on a Friday night.

Had a nice dinner there. We came around 10pm, still were seated and served well. Even had time for dessert. Food was good. Our waiter seemed a little lost, but it was late lol

Fantastic service from start to finish with just as great food. Italians might fry the calamari a little lighter and scallops were outstanding

I was unfortunately having dinner the same night as a couple by the window, that felt they needed to be the loudest and most vulgar people in the place. You literally can’t go anywhere quiet anymore. They should have stopped being served alcohol to be honest. My pasta was good, but I didn’t expect tiny tiny pieces of the rock shrimp. I expected whole shrimp which 95% of places would have done. And please, please lose the aluminum foil; It’s not clever and it looks horribly tacky… talk about never being able to clean your bowl from a pasta or seafood dish with bread, because your meal is sitting on aluminum foil….are you serious? This is not old school charm like your website advertised.

Best Espresso Martini I’ve ever had at Bar Franco. I’ve had many espresso martinis at the most exclusive dining experiences, Baccarat Hotel, Ritz Carlton Aruba, Jean George but none compare to this one! Amazing staff and ambiance also!

Wonderful atmosphere and, most importantly, great food. Salads tasted fragrant, fresh, and organic. Arugula Salad had delightful blue chesse crumbles. Calamari was crispy, very tasty with marinara sauce and lemon. Meatballs were very moist and soft, but a little bland for the taste. The topping of ricotta definitely makes up for it. Last but certainly not least, the veal chop parmigiana was 10/10. I definitely would try that dish again. Service was friendly and attentive.
