I went to Franklin Cafe a few weeks ago with some friends for dinner, and was super impressed with everything! The food is delicious, fresh, and interesting and on top of that, the drinks were great too. I got some fantastic recommendations from the bartenders, and they are machines when it comes to consistency!

great food, good service, awesome drinks! I will definitely be back.

Franklin Cafe remains on the short list of best places for cocktails and dinner in the city. The no smoking policy in Boston has made Franklin even more appealing because the air doesn't get so thick in the the dark, windowless interior. Best idea is to let go of the clock watching and head there with a plan of good conversation over drinks while waiting for a table.

Franklin Cafe is known as an incredible after hours place. It stays open until 2 am and serves incredible food. It is a cozy spot that is modern yet not uptight. Definitely a place to come with friends and hang out at the beautiful bar.

The consistent quality of this restaurant makes it a popular, but crowded choice, so arrive early or be prepared to wait. The menu is creative, fresh, and inviting. The staff are attentive, friendly and professional. It is a high quality neighborhood place, not a destination for a relaxed lingering dining experience. Crowds waiting to eat lead to not so subtle pressure to finish up and leave.

This past weekend I was visiting Boston for 3 rd time, I always hear that this restaurant is pretty good, so we decided to try, we arrived at 7:00 pm, the place was pack, the host told me 30 to 45 minutes, I have a glass of Wine, very good attention by the barttender, the restaurant is very well decorate and located, like the lights and the services of the staff is class A, they really take care of the clients. After 45 minutes I asked the Host in a very nice way, how long do I have to wait, I was told that he did have not idea, at the same time partys of 4 or 6 were sitting and my friend and I just waiting for a table, I finished my wine, he finished his drink, a gentlerman that was next to me arrived and 10 minutes later his party of 8 were seated, I ask again and the Host reply to me I do not have a cristal ball, after 1 hour and 45 minutes, we left no one try to help us, I did enjoyed my wine, but the waiting list is not fear, plus if you go with a big party you will have more possibilities to have a table otherwise good luck.
