Frannie and The Fox was one of the highlights of our stay. The pizza was absolutely delicious, and sitting out in the courtyard made the experience even better. There was something so charming about the atmosphere, hearing conversations nearby, seeing families enjoying one another, and simply taking in the energy of the space. It felt lively in a natural, inviting way, not forced, just genuinely enjoyable. The setting, the food, and the overall experience made it memorable. I would gladly return and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxed dining experience. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and it was delicious and refreshing. read more

My husband and I recently dined at Franny and the Fox, and the experience was outstanding from the moment we walked in. The ambience immediately stood out. Warm, stylish, and lively without feeling crowded. It set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Our waitress was delightful. Attentive, professional, and genuinely pleasant. She made thoughtful recommendations and checked in at the right times without hovering. The food matched the service. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we had was satisfying and well executed. If you're looking for a place in Charleston that delivers great service, great food, and a memorable atmosphere, this is it. We will definitely return. read more

Frannie & The Fox is a great spot for dinner or just grabbing a few drinks. The restaurant is pretty big with lots of seating both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor patio is really nice if the weather is good. I came here for happy hour with a couple of friends. I had the house white wine and the arancini small bite. The wine was a Chardonnay and I liked it. The arancini was pretty good but could have been a little more flavorful. The restaurant is wonderfully decorated and service was friendly and quick. read more

We popped in for a drink - shout out to being open on Christmas!! - and were pleasantly surprised by how cute the place was. It's a hotel bar, though open to the public. They had the cutest little yurts set up on the patio, and I NEED to check them out next year!! The fire was burning on the patio and it was very comfortable to sit outside. The inside is also cute, and was open air connecting to the patio. We just ordered drinks, a spaghett and a beer, during a slow period for them. Bartender was very nice and helpful, giving us a heads up of where would be reserved for dinner service, etc. Very cute spot! read more

Good night at Frankie and the Fox. Would have preferred the patio but hostess said it was all booked. Tyler was an amazing waiter-- I likely would have given less stars if he hadn't been amazing. Caesar salad was good and big. Glasses of red were below average and I do like my red wine. It's super cheap to offer a decent glass of red wine. Up your game. Food. Husband had the rigatoni and I had the pasta with mushrooms in the skillet. Good. Not great for both. We both said Indaco had better food and atmosphere. Liked it didn't love it. Don't need to return! read more

The service upon entering the building was wonderful and polite. The hostess was not friendly at all, maybe just having a bad day? The place is lovely for a bite to eat or a drink by the fire on a cool evening. The waitstaff were knowledgeable and friendly. The food was just ok. I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Just blah. The pizzas are good. Go for a drink and then find somewhere else to eat. read more

We were staying at the Emeline, so we stopped in here for brunch (I saw on here that there aren't a lot of GF alternatives for dinner). Our service was incredible, and they were able to swap out my toast with GF bread, so I still had plenty of options. We had a nice time! read more

We loved this place so much that we ate here twice during our trip to Charleston! The first night we ate here because it was a stone's throw from our planned ghost trip. We made reservations so we were immediately seated. We placed our order for meatball appetizer, caesar salad, and the white pizza (sorry, forget the name!) and added pepperoni. 5 stars across the board! However, I will say, on our next visit, I ordered the Pizzaiolo chopped salad and topped it on our pizza and THAT IS THE MOVE. The pizza is the perfect salad vessel and the only way to eat it. Service was lovely on both nights and I highly recommend for your next CHS visit! read more

Decent food and a good escape from the heat. I came for lunch and had the margherita pizza and that day's pastry basket. The pizza was a solid wood fired pizza, although it had pesto on it which wasn't mentioned and was a little strange for a margherita. The pastry basket had 4 different things, and while two of them were quite good, one was just okay and the muffin was pretty underwhelming. Overall, decent food for a quick stop, but I wouldn't necessarily seek it out read more

Loved this place and this experience because of our server Michael. He was not only so kind, attentive, and conversational, but he listened exactly to our needs as a large group of girls. Recommend this place for their food as well, super good!! Drinks were also to die for. But Michael was the best part of the whole restaurant 10/10. read more

This BLT sandwich was a wonderful choice for a quick meal before our reservation outing. They were able to get this dish ordered and presented extremely quickly to meet our needs. The BLT was a hearty sandwich and paired with the pasta side dish made for an enjoyable and flavorful lunch. read more

Perfect spot for a date night or to go out with friends this place is moody and charming to say the least. Service was pretty good and the food came out unbelievably quick. We ordered the rigatoni, pepperoni pizza, and the beef & pork meatballs. The pizza was definitely my favorite the crust was so lovely and it made amazing leftovers for the next day The rigatoni was very flavorful and a crowd pleaser The beef and pork meatballs were seasoned very nicely and the sauce became a part of every course pizza crust was dipped in it extra bread obviously had to take part of the sauce too Overall I don't think you could order anything bad at Frannie & The Fox Only thing is that you might have trouble finding this place it's located in a hotel lobby you have to walk up some steps towards the check in of the hotel and it'll be to the right read more

Located inside Hotel Emeline, Frannie & the Fox was a perfect location for a girls dinner to celebrate during my friend's bachelorette party. We did make the reservation well in advance as this restaurant is very popular. We chose to have a coursed/set menu. The ambiance and moody vibe of the restaurant draws a fairly young crowd to the bar on the weekends, but the food and wine was excellent and we enjoyed our meal. The best bites of the night were the meatballs with ricotta topping and the fresh mozzarella plate with fresh giardinieria. Check out Frannie & the Fox the next time you're looking for a stylish, lively, and yummy night out! read more

I stayed at this hotel previously but had never eaten at the restaurant. We finally made it for brunch on our last trip to Charleston, and I'm so glad that we did. First of all, what A CUTE PLACE! I absolutely love the decor and vibes here - everything is clean and sharp, and the colors are deep and classy. Seating is available indoors or out, weather dependent. We sat on the patio and it was beautiful weather. Our server was perfect, table touches were on point, didn't write a thing down but got our orders perfectly for a four top. We had drinks and entrees and everything was excellent. My campari spritz was amazing and my dad had a really good bloody mary. The food was excellent -- the traditional breakfast plate was HUGE and perfectly cooked. I loved the sausage and potatoes and man, that sourdough bread was *chefs kiss*. The eggs benny was phenomenal - picture doesn't do it justice! My husband was raving about it all day. 5 stars - can't wait to come back! read more

I've eaten at Frannie & The Fox two times now and both were fine. Service is good and the ambiance at the restaurant is great. It was a bit chilly since the restaurant is kept open-aired and I got a couple of mosquito bites while sitting. Our server was nice and food came out at a reasonable time. We've ordered the meatballs, whipped bone marrow, charred octopus, blue crab fritters, caesar salad, taleggio pizza, and spaghettoni. - Meatballs were good, tender, but nothing too special. - We felt the octopus was charred too much and it had an unpleasant flavor. - Whipped bone marrow was actually a crowd favorite. Nice, crusty bread with a whipped savory butter and sweet/sour tomato onion jam. Delicious! - Blue crab fritters are always good - crunchy and paired with a yummy sauce. - Caesar salad was good, classic, with a hint of welcome spice. The croutons are delish! - The taleggio pizza is my friend's favorite. Crispy crust, savory cheese, and sweet and spicy honey. It hits all the right spots, but does get a little grainy when cooled. - The spaghettoni was a letdown for us. The noodles seemed to be just a bit under al dente and there was no outstanding flavor. It was a bit bland and we didn't end up finishing it. I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time if you can since the lines can get long. Food is decent and vibes are great. Not our favorite restaurant, but we'd go again. read more

Our first meal in Charleston. Our group of 4 landed, checked into our hotels and quickly looked for something within walking distance. It's located in the Emeline Hotel and is an Italian wood fire eatery. The ambiance was really nice. I would describe it as Californian chic, open concept with large windows and natural sunlight but still cozy and intimate. My recollection is a bit blurry, but the Beef & Pork Meatballs with whipped ricotta was the consensus favorite dish. The pizza was also decent, but not as Neapolitan or airy as I would like. The sourdough bruschetta was okay, but I remember the bread being a little chewy and difficult to eat. Same with the chicken cutlet. I faintly remember it being a little tough and the broccoli rabe was too bitter for my liking. Overall the ambiance and the meatballs get 4 stars. The other dishes were a little lackluster, but it could have been an off day. read more

The ambiance and staff was very pleasant. You could view the courtyard of the hotel from the inside of the restaurant. You could even ask to be seated outside in the courtyard which has a beautiful brick fireplace. The food on the other hand was very lack luster. I was disappointed that the salad was just lettuce, thankfully I added chicken. But unfortunately it wasn't worth the price! Corey got the chicken cutlet sandwich but couldn't understand the purpose of a cold fired chicken sandwich. It was good and the broccoli rabe was a really nice touch to the sandwich. However he really wanted to try the meatballs but we were told they were unavailable. That didn't seem to be the case since people who came in after us was ordering and receiving the meatballs. They have an extreme limited gluten free menu. So if you are gluten free don't waste your time or money. Like I said earlier, the food was okay but definitely not worth the price of the overall meal! read more

Frannie and the Fox was a great find! The atmosphere is lively and modern--definitely a spot where you can enjoy a chill brunch or catch up with friends. Shoutout to Rebecca, who was fantastic! I asked for a London Fog (not something they usually do), and she was totally willing to give it a try. She nailed it--it was cozy, perfectly balanced, and honestly made my morning! We ordered the egg sandwich and the granola parfait. Both were delicious, and I really appreciated that the portions were just right--not too heavy, but still super satisfying. The tater tots were the unexpected star of the meal--crispy, golden, and so good we probably could've eaten another round. Great experience overall. Would definitely come back. read more

Maybe you really do get what you pay for. $30 for a s/m bowl of pasta, but Wow! It was SO good. The Rigatoni with Lamb was herby, full of flavor and filling. The Ricotta pasta was sweet and but with basil, which was unique, but the Rigatoni absolutely stole the show. I also tried a mocktail. It was good, but not amazing. The atmosphere is so pretty outside with a huge fireplace, string lights and lanterns flickering. Our waiter was super kind, fun and friendly, but we did have to wait for long periods of time in between seeing him. read more

We went for lunch and didn't have a reservation but they were able to accommodate us. It is inside the Wmmeline hotel and has a really nice patio. I had a spritz and my husband got a beer.

10/10 across the board for Frannie and The Fox!!! This beautiful, dim-lit, charleston restaurant is located inside the Emaline hotel. We last minute decided to do a nicer dinner- and i would choose Frannies 100 times again!! It was busy but we only waited about 20-30 minutes, and enjoyed a drink in the lobby while we waited n Our meals were delicious and tender and so so fabulous, that I cant wait for the day I get to go back!! My sister enjoyed the agnolotti and I got the lamb ragu. The ragu was braised perfectectly and a really good portion too, topped with fresh parm. We got 2 martinis each with our meals and all in we spent are 150$. Pricy but didn't feel any type of way paying for this as it was SOOO worth it!! Bonus: Go walk to Carmela's after dinner for a cannoli cake- and get a full evening of italian delight read more

We went here for my husbands birthday dinner and I'm so glad we did! The food was 10/10 - we would recommend the pepperoni pizza and crab fritters.

Hands down best meal we've had so far while visiting Charleston. First, it's beautiful inside the restaurant and out in the courtyard. Our waiter was incredibly helpful, was very kind and patient with my 6 year old, and gave us great service. The food was, again, amazing! I could have ordered everything on the menu, but we settled on the marinated olives, blue crab fritters, meatballs with ricotta, margherita pizza and taleggio pizza -- all wonderful. Everything is made from scratch or imported from Italy and you can taste the love and care put into their food. I sincerely cannot wait to come back! read more

We loved the vibe and beautiful setting. Enjoyed a Caesar salad and pepperoni pizza - both delicious! Will definitely visit again!

I've heard great things about Frannie & The Fox and they were all spot on. We started with dirty martinis and Thinking about Verjus. All very good. We decided to share some plates and went with Beef and Pork Meatballs (which were outrageous!), Roasted Zucchini, Heirloom tomatoe salad (also crazy good), and a Margherita pizza. Everything was delicious. Beautiful restaurant and great atmosphere. One of the great places to visit in Charleston. read more

Cutlet sandwich was soggy and gross. Front desk was extremely rude for no reason. There is 0% chance this place isn't paying for reviews.

Had a reservation for dinner last night and the food and service was incredible. Shannon was a gem, her timing between stops was perfect and her excitement about my fiance and I both trying the special for the evening was incredibly reassuring. Everything was wonderful. My only knock was that our table was in an awkward spot next to the service station so the staff was stacking and removing glasses next to my head throughout the meal. However, I would absolutely go back regardless of this to try any number of dishes on the menu. read more
