Very nice place in the Heights. Brunch is definitely their thing. If you are in the area do not miss out on this place. Food is good, atmosphere is very nice and service is great: staff is very attentive and helpful. Freshly squeeze juices are really good!

I’ve been to Franklin for brunch and it was decent. But me and my friends went to dinner last night. We had wild mushroom risotto, shrimp pasta.

I have mixed opinion about this place. The food is good but I don’t think it is worth the price. Theres no parking around the area as well. There are restaurants in nyc that taste better with similar price range.

Everything here is outstanding. I’ve never needed a knife for any of the meats which all fall off of the bone. Risotto also plentiful and flavorful. Wonderful place for a date night(not a cheap one!) Some outdoor seating. The presentation on all of their dishes makes the mark!

A lot of potential here but fell short on some aspects. Loved the service, incredibly nice staff that were attentive and prompt.

We’ve been twice for brunch and food is great. Loved the avocado toast, and the eggs Benedict especially. French toast was quite tasty just wish there had been more berries. The ricotta pancakes are delicious but relatively small portion. The steak from the steak and eggs was the only thing not as good. It’s a pretty thin cut, so although it was tasty, it was quite dry.

The watermelon lemonade is everything .. the choclate lava cake tiny tiny but it was delish the bronzino fish was on special it was a bit dry and thin fillet not what I thought grilled bronzino is , I usually have a nice whole grilled fish for 35 in the middle eastern spot . Any how service was amazing very very nice staff , thats rare these days … ive had other plates there that wS good but this waS ehhhh and the corner its on well lets just say as a jc native of 35 yrs .. franklin and new york ave was a unsavory area , and still gives off that vibe , so outdoor dining is a nogo for me , but try the burgers and the pasta dish and steak.really good.

Customer service good. Food is pretty decent. Neighborhood is run down. The portions have shrunk. I had the Chicken & Waffles. Portion was tiny with 2 small pieces of chicken, and 4 scallions on top of one medium sized waffle. For $16 I’d expect more.
