    I prefer the spring/summer menu over the supper club style they are doing during the winter. The steak frites was pretty dry. The butter chicken is a safe option. But I'd be happy eating any of their pizza's year round. The Salad here is sorry for the price. Service can be hit or miss. Ambiance is still nice, especially the patio on a nice day.

    While in Rockford for my daughter's second Baseball tournament, the parents decided to eat here for our night out. It is really weird because this restaurant/ bar is connected to two other restaurants. Of the three, this is supposed to be more downscale in attire, but not on prices. The restaurant itself is nice with the restaurant open to the air with a mesh ceiling to ground cover. The decor is modern and the service was friendly albeit not really up to par. For a place that should be a little upscale, they got a lot of our orders wrong or not served on time. The food itself was mixture of things, some were really good, some just meh and some terrible. This is coming from not just my opinion, but opinions of others in our group who had tasted everything. Here is some of what we had: Sweet and sour brussel sprouts: crispy brussel sprouts, honey, lime zest, Sriracha dust - this was one of the really good things. They separated so that it was like brussel sprout chips. Really tasty and my fave. Cheddar and Gouda tots: house tater tots stuffed with smoked Gouda, cheddar, chives, bacon crumble, served with jalapeno ranch dressing - kinda hyped up for the presentation and price. I mean they served 4 tots the size of 2 put together. It tasted just ok. I love tots so I wanted to taste them. Buffalo shrimp: blue cheese crumble, ranch - this was ok, kinda weird because I am used to breaded shrimp where this was just cooked shrimp smothered in sauce. BBQ sandwich - presentation...awesome, taste, just ok not really worth the price Overall, if I were to go back to Rockford, I may go back for a drink and brussel sprouts.

    I recently picked up some to-go pizzas and they were GREAT. We tried the "Fun-guy" which was perfectly savory, as was the "pesto pie" with wonderful flavors. It was recommended over the phone when I was ordering that I should try the buffalo shrimp, which were good, but absolutely 100% not worth the $14. The portion size was really small and not shareable. If you're passing through Rockford in your travels, this is a great spot to check out. Just don't expect good service. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// edit: The shrimp tried to kill me. I should have known better when the pizza was served up piping hot and the shrimp required a blast in my hotel room's microwave to bring it up to temp. I woke up at 5am with the worst food poisoning I've ever had in my entire life. I won't go into details but let's just say it was a miserable way to travel. My wife didn't have any of the shrimp and she was fine today. Anyways, try the pizza but avoid the shrimp at all cost!

    This place has relocated to the Aldeen golf course down the road from its original location. Great place, check it out!

    Went for Valentine's Day. Loved the touch of giving roses. Was disappointed by the truncated menu…read moreas the dishes I was looking forward to were not available, but I understand they were expecting to be super busy. Food was good not great. Service was the same, had to ask for napkins and a steak knife as they were not brought to us. We our server was very sweet. The bruschetta and oysters Rockefeller were the stand outs-- so good! Both our mains were a bit disappointing. The cook on my husband's steak was incorrect and it had zero char-- pretty much totally gray. My risotto was undercooked with a bit too al dente rice and watery sauce. It also was underseasoned. However the seafood was great so I ate that without hesitation. I keep saying I like but don't love Francesco's, and for dinner for $275 for two people in Rockford, I just expect better quality if we're going to be paying downtown Chicago prices. I would go back but it's not going to be a meal I seek out.

    I am new to the area, from Southern California, and have eaten here two times. Of the approximately…read more15 restaurants we have eaten at in the area, this is by far the best. When we have out-of-town guests, this is the place we will take them. It's a place I would be proud to take them. It's literally the only place I've been to that I can say that about. All the food is great: from the salmon to the chicken to the pizza to the pasta .... The service is great: helpful, nice, don't rush you out.... The facility is nice: very comfortable with gorgeous architecture and furnishings. This is at the top of our rotation....

The food was amazing these people know how to feed you. There are many packages they offer but we had a buffet with a carving station. Salad, green beans, stuffed chicken, mashed potatoes, veggie lasagna, and the most amazing beef London broil. I honestly needed a nap after eating. I should've taken some to go for later, it was that good. Highly recommend this cute venue if you're looking to have a party or wedding.

    Beautiful Venue to attend Events, but caution if you're the "Renter"…read more Numerous "add-on's" that were not discussed when signing contract. 1 week prior to Wedding, told the "Dance Floor", which was in building when signing, cost $250 to dance on! A Mat, not needed, put pressure on the Bride to just agree! The Bricks had a Monitor Woman cruising our Wedding all nite, included herself in our reception. Felt businesslike instead of OUR PARTY. Honestly, we picked up inside & outside, cigarette butts, papers, anything to prevent not getting our deposit back. It was as nice as when we arrived. The monitor helped pick up, so we did NOT Receive our $1500 deposit. Ms. Monitor made sure! Beautiful Venue, but signer beware! The $1500 was our Wedding gift to our Bride & Groom for their Honeymoon. Very very Disappointing. Nothing we could do.
