The building has a certain grandeur with "Francie" branded across the front, they were accommodating with us traveling with a kid and kindly made adjustments. We were happy to be offered the booth seat it was a great view of the dining room and the brightly lit kitchen. We started with some cocktail and I had a white wine from Aligote but it wasnt impressive for $27 a glass. The appetizer canele wiith foie gras was good, Sweet Corn Bomboloni. summer truffle, parmesan fonduta, pancetta pepato was also good but the acid in the cucumber with Smoked Eel, Buttermilk, Buckwheat was a bit too much could be toned down. The pasta with clam and bacon was delicious loved it. The somm recommended this mineral forward red which was really good and we were happy with it. The duck was most impressive I would say the main reason I dragged the whole family there!! It didnt disappoint it was served quickly despite some reviews. The jus was delicious with each slice of the duck. There was a lot of duck left and we had to take it home. Overall the service was great and we were so full we were sad to decline the dessert!! Lastly the sunset on the bridge was amazing after rain.

Often a Michelin starred restaurant experience can place the customer at arm's length. The experience here is a total opposite with a welcoming atmosphere, excellent cocktails, and an amazing menu. The signature duck crown is a flavorful aged duck breast, but there is so much more on the menu that must be tried. Agnoloti with pork, Lobster ravioli and spring lamb each offer a glimpse into a savory dish. The cocktails are crafted with great balance. The team executes flawlessly while embracing the customer with friendly banter. A must!

4.5 stars, but close to 5. Despite sitting at the bar, vibes were really good. Bartender/server was chatty, but just the right amount. Unfortunately at the bar, you can't order the duck (although you can order the duck sausage, which was *chefs kiss*). The small bites were the biggest surprise. First impressions matter a lot, and these were so good that they made the rest of the meal that much better. Souffle cakes were sooo delicious. The Bombolini was also a highlight. Although pretty solid, the pastas were not as amazing as some other places I've had. The highlight was the seasonal corn pasta. The lemon sorbet was like art -- two very different textures that mixed well in flavor.

Very good food, and attentive service, the only complaint that came up from my dining partner was that the lamb was a smaller portion but honestly it's Michelin dining, so not unexpected. I think he was only surprised because I was warned my pasta dish was a smaller portion but he was not warned his lamb was - we took the hint about my dish and had enough appetizers to be full though! My bucatini was amazing.

Four of us had dinner on a Monday night. Place was full. Started with the Granny Smith apple martini. Perfect. Then we had the sweet corn bomboloni which was a surprising burst of flavor; delicious. The Bottoni pasta was as tasty as it was visually appealing. It was also a great dish to share. Got the dry aged crown of Rohan duck and now I am ruined forever. Absolutely the best duck I ever had. I will dream about it. I will return to get it again!!! Had the French fries with it too and they were the perfect crunch. The pina colada sundae was refreshing and I may copy that idea for a future dinner party. How cute is that locker type key with a duck in order to pick up your leftovers??

I said G** D*** Wow!!! Just Wow!!! Well done for everyone involved in Francie, just absolutely perfect. Thank you for an absolutely fantastic meal. Shout out to the staff, you all were phenomenal. The restaurant is vibrant, beautiful and fresh. The cocktail / wine selection is fabulous with some really well thought out pairings. Now for the food. The DUCK, GET THE DUCK. Sweet baby jesus I'm getting the vapors just thinking about it. Now I'm not even sure the duck was the best thing, if they sold the Sweet Corn Bomboloni in the south and midwest they would be billionaires. I've never had anything like it before and it was absolutely delicious. The Roman Army Sourdough was also really good but there was one other heavy hitter the Conchiglie, so so so good. Did I mention you should get the duck? Perfectly cooked with a nice little fat layer to add tons of flavor. When i go back to NYC you better bet I'll be eating here again.

Loved the food here. Service was wonderful. Every dish was delicious. Food: Corn bombolonis - delicious Cakes with caviar and truffle butter - delicious Foie gras cannele - delicious Lobster ravioli - delicious Bucatini - delicious Pappardelle with lamb - delicious Creme brûlée - very good

Called and made a reservation for 4 people and had an awesome meal here. We ordered: + Soufflé cakes + Oysters + Conchiglie + Dry aged crown of Rohan duck + Creme brûlée + Apple tatin The apple tatin was the absolute best thing I ate, though the duck and pasta were also amazing. Creme brûlée was another standout. The duck is more of an order-once-for-the-gram dish - excellent, but definitely super pricey. Soufflé cakes were good, but I was really just here for the caviar on the side. Oysters were tasty, too. Need to return to try more pastas!
