    Mushroom Rigatoni
    Gwyneth N.

    FRANCINE @ SCOTTSDALE The calamari at this location was AMAZING, also the mushroom rigatoni was good but I recommend asking for red chili flakes. The service was good and fast--really on top of refilling the waters throughout the meal. The place was extremely aesthetic and a little more higher end, i would say this is a great place to Sunday brunch if you want something nicer.

    Francine is a great spot for a girls night! It's a bit pricey for the quality in my opinion, but a reliable place for a nice dinner. They offer great gluten free options including GF bread and pasta. The service was good until after dinner when it was hard to grab out waiter's attention. Other than that, check it out next time you're near Fashion Square.

    Oooooh la la! Tres bien! Un barman est exceptionnel! Cinq étoiles KUNI (if I still worked at Walt Disney World, I would steal him away from this place. He's just that good.) We ordered the caviar which is at a great price and remember caviar is not food, It's an experience so start with that add your dusky exceptional craft cocktail like I had a dirty martini with Chopin Of course Chopin! I was soooo busy drinking and visiting I didn't get a pic of our glorious salad.

    I came to Francine for a girls birthday dinner and it happened to be restaurant week. Unfortunately, I was disappointed that our waiter didn't offer us the restaurant week menu, I had to ask for it. The waiter did not seem very thrilled that we asked for the restaurant week menu. Don't offer restaurant week if your wait staff is not openly telling your guests about the menu. We got a weird vibe that he didn't want to offer us the restaurant week menu because our party of 10 bill would be significantly less due to restaurant week. All of us did order off of the restaurant week menu because it was such a great deal, $55 for appetizer, entree and dessert. For appetizer you could pick between hummus and pita, beef tartare bites and endive salad. For the entree, you could pick between mushroom truffle rigatoni, salmon riverea and chicken supreme. And for dessert the options were berries tiramasu and sorbet duo. I ended up getting the beef tartare bites which I shared with my friend and she got the hummus which I tried too. Both were great. For my entree, I ordered the truffle mushroom rigatoni, it was absolutely fantastic. I could have licked my bowl. I would 100% order that again. For my dessert, I ordered their berries tiramisu. I enjoyed that dessert. It was a different twist on tiramisu. My friend ordered their sorbet duo which had coconut and strawberry. We LOVED the coconut! I tried their fire and ice cocktail, if you like mezcal this is a must try. I also loved their loud and clear cocktail, it had tequila, vanilla , honey dew and chamomile clarified. So good! The food was great, I was a little disappointed by the service but I will still come back and hope to have a better experience.

    Girls' dinner at Francine in Scottsdale. We were a group of 10, and one of the girls had worked closely with the manager ahead of time to make sure there were vegan‑friendly options for us. Unfortunately, the waiter wasn't informed, so he had to check with the manager before we could place our orders, which delayed things a bit. Once the food started coming, it was really worth the wait! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Traveling always reminds me how fun it is to explore a city through great meals and good company. Here's what I had: * Endive salad * Cauliflower steak * Ratatouille * Sorbet Overall, cozy spot with great energy. Definitely would come back for another girls' night with plant based options!

    My husband and I went to Francine for our anniversary. It's a beautiful space, very light and airy, oozes south of France. Elegant ambiance. We had the the mussels to start with a side of fries, because yes we needed to dip them in that delicious sauce! I had the Chilean Seabass and my husband had the Rack of Lamb. We had the Crème Brûlée for dessert. Everything was delicious. We would love to come back and try their Salt Crusted Branzino serve whole and flambéed table side. It looks very impressive and I'm a sucker for anything served table side. They also offer a prix fix menu for $65, which for this restaurant is a great deal!

    We came here for Valentine's Day and enjoyed our experience. Our waiter, August was really helpful and checked on us consistently throughout the night. We ordered the Whipped Feta as an appetizer cause the calamari was sold out but it was great! The pita bread was delicious as well. The chicken was really good, I got it with a side of mashed potatoes and think it paired really well. The chicken is slightly sweet, I think it is glazed in honey. He ordered the steak, which was good! Nothing too special. The ambiance is cute on the inside and outside. We got a spot outside which we were happy with because it was packed on the inside. I was not blown away with any of the food but it was definitely good!

    Five stars all around. We came to Francine's to celebrate my graduation from ASU and we all had a wonderful experience. The place is huge and carefully decorated. It was perfect for our large group of 10 people. The food was excellent. Everything we had was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The service was the best part...Teresa was fabulous and made my celebration extra special. We would highly recommend Francine for special occasions or if you just want a great dining experience.

    Francine has my favorite espresso martini and happens to be across the street so we happen to frequent here a lot. The espresso martini is made with freshly pulled espresso versus like a cold brew concentrate or what other places use. The ambiance is great. It's very white, clean, crisp, modern. I think this is a great date night spot. I've had the mushroom pasta, bucatini, most of the crudo/hamachi section, etc etc. I preferred the mushroom pasta over the bucatini, I'm not sure if it was the bone marrow but the bucatini was extremely salty in my experience. I love the filet carpaccio. We tried the French toast and mushroom pasta yesterday. The French toast almost had like a delicious custard substance in the middle. It was really good. And the mushroom pasta I'd get again as well. I thought the pasta was cooked perfectly and have a deep love for anything truffle. I've only had dessert once and it was good but a pass for me. I'd just prefer the espresso martini for dessert here. I've never actually sat in the dining room, I prefer the bar top. The service is always very good. And I guess, it's obvious I'd return here because we eat or have a drink here probably biweekly.

    beautiful restaurant interior and classic french fare with modern american twists. the ambiance was very nice and the service was attentive, despite a menu mishap that was compensated for. we had intended to order the crab salad, but was served salmon salad instead, despite the waiter not mentioning that the kitchen was out of crab. they only commented on this and apologized after we pointed it out, but at least offered to replace with another dish and a complimentary sparkling water for the inconvenience. the starting bread was a quality sourdough artisan bread, toasted well and paired with a fruity olive oil. i would have preferred the butter a bit more salted, and ideally house made, but the bread made up for it. the truffle mushroom rigatoni was a lovely dish, with a sharp acidity complementing the nuttiness of the fungus. a tad bit too oily, but ok. french dip was great as well, standout was the fries which were perfectly crispy and thin. moules frites were great - very flavorful broth and good portion. ratatouille was also pretty good, with a rich tomato paste flavor! both salads were a bit disappointing - bitter greens and plain veggie pairings with uninventive dressings. overall very reasonable french lunch location worth visiting if near the fashion square.

    Eggs Benedict
    Stephanie O.

    I have been here before for dinner and really liked it and decided to try for a brunch. Love the decor and the attention to details. Service is good and you have lots of small booths to sit at. The eggs Benedict were good. The eggs were poached well and the hollandaise sauce was on point. Would definitely recommend!

    The service was lacking considering the location; however, it was lunch time on a weekday. Regardless, the food was delicious and fresh.

    Is there a kids menu available?

    Is there a dress code?

    Resort wear . Casual but elegant

    Have you guys changed your menu to summer menu?

    Hello .. we still have a lot of spring ingredients like peas and asparagus … we are waiting for heirloom tomatoes zucchini and strawberries to switch to summer ingredients . Come to try our new branzino with zucchini .

    How well can you accomodate a guest with a severe gluten allergy? Can someone that need gluten free options dine here and have something besides salads?

    We do have several dishes that are gluten free or can be modded to gluten free, but our kitchen is not gluten free so there would be risk of cross contamination.

    Are non-service dogs allowed on the outdoor patio seating area?

    yes :) looking forward to serving you

    Does anyone know if they can accommodate gluten free with plenty of options?

    You definitely can some options that are gluten free.

We brought family from out of town and had a party of 11 (six adults and five kids). There was a long wait, which we completely understood. We spent the time at the bar where the service was excellent, and the kids browsed the nearby shops. Unfortunately, once we were seated, the experience went downhill. Our server seemed to have little sense of urgency. Everything took an unusually long time, but the biggest issue was the food, which took well over an hour despite being a very simple order of burgers, sandwiches, and other basic menu items. Throughout the wait, we watched tables seated after us receive their food and leave while we were still waiting. The most frustrating part was the lack of communication. Rather than checking in or providing an update, our server was frequently visible chatting with coworkers and rolling silverware. When our food finally arrived, it was at best room temperature, making it seem like it had been sitting for quite a while before being brought to the table. We asked to speak with a manager, who said she would look into it, but never returned to follow up. That lack of acknowledgment or accountability was even more disappointing than the delay itself. We declined the offer of dessert because we needed to get the kids home, yet instead of bringing the check promptly, our server spent additional time clearing the table before finally processing our payment. As someone who has worked as a server, I understand that delays happen and kitchens get backed up. What makes the difference is communication, ownership, and making guests feel like their time matters. None of that happened here. It's unfortunate because we've had good experiences in the past, but this visit left us embarrassed that we chose this restaurant to host visiting family.

The rice wasn't bursting with flavor but it paired nicely. The fries were extremely delicious! Haven't had great fries like that in a while. The chopped salad is different, I think I would've enjoyed it more if there was feta cheese in it. Or an option to add. The hummus is good and the pita bread is soft and taste fresh They were too kind to sing to me for my birthday and gave me a baklava slice! The soda machine could have a bit more carbonation, who doesn't love a good zap lol And step away back because the soda machine kind of spits out the soda and it got on my white shirt Plenty of parking, easy to find.

Many stations were missing, there was no music, section was very slim and additional fees kept getting added to our bill. It was a friend's birthday and we had a large party. Cala did not get back to us about reservations for WEEKS we finally got in contact with someone and they added a 6% service charge, 20% gratuity, 3% admin fee and a $25 cake cutting fee (mind you they offered to cut the cake + we brought our own plates). We DID NOT ASK. They kept providing misleading information as their website states they have the brunch on the weekend but the admin stated they didn't. We asked to schedule on Sunday but they somehow scheduled us on Saturday. Overall it was a terrible experience and they supposedly could not make any accommodations on the additional charges. I'm tired of places in Old Town charging additional fees just because it's Old Town. There is nothing special here. An AYCE brunch is nice especially in Scottsdale but when their selections are different and a smaller selection each time I go it's not something that is favorable + ideal for a foodie who expects top tier service and food with it being $55+ a person. I would skip this entire experience as it's not worth the price tag and hassle.
