Franklin Café

I order a French laundry every single time I come here. It's simply perfect cocktail for any occasion.

Went to the Franklin Cafe for the first time last night with a friend.  I've been to their location in Gloucester, so I was expecting an experience along the same lines.  I'm not sure if it was my mood, but it just didn't live up to my expectations based on my previous visit.  I was hoping they'd have more special martinis on their menu--yes, there's a full bar and you can just order whatever you want, but I guess I was hoping to find something new and interesting.  For food, I had the Fried Green Tomatoes with crab, which was really tasty.  All in all, I'd try this place again.

Food and drinks are awesome. Atmosphere is a little dark/dingy. 5 stars on the food, 3.5 on the ambiance.

I got an Old Cuban (drink) and the Corn Agnolotti (ravioli with lobster meat on top, shiitake mushrooms and basil). Both were delicious and worth every penny. My friend got one of the drinks with Gin and Duck and loved both.

Almost no wait on a Friday night too. +1 for South End dining.
