Shimmering lemonade, yup! Cannoli breakfast tacos, check! Delicious daily special, sign me up!…read moreMeeting a friend for brunch and this spot immediately caught my eye. Not sure what brought us to Franklin Square, but I'm glad we came here. The place is adorbs. The menu is fire. I need to try every thing ok it. This time I got the fig and prosciutto toast with a side of corned beef hash. The toast was fire amazing. I kinda thought the orange marmalade was a bit over powering but that's my flavor preference. It was a hard decision to pick what to east. So many damn good dishes. Staff was super sweet and quick although we didn't feel rushed. Putting this on my list of go tos for sure!

I have been anticipating a visit to Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery, I am happy to say that the…read moreopportunity to stop in for breakfast did present itself on October 9th. breakfast. Here is what I found. Visiting this Brunchery is convenient due to the municipal park and lock across the street just in case you don't find parking directly in front of the restaurant. Visiting Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery at 11 AM was a perfect time because it was not crowded and I found its festive decor very inviting and warm. Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery is spacious and offers group setting as well as a romantic setting, including a casual dining experience. I found the service at Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery to be subpar and there are too many waiters/ waitresses walking as well as bus persons and runners, to be ignored. I understand that this is supposed to be a high-volume brunch spot, but Franklin & Phoebe was not crowded. More on this later. I ordered the -Wild Wild West omelette- it consisted of marinated steak, red onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and pepper jack cheese. This was a delicious meal. The steak was well done as requested and cooked just right, very tender, not hard to chew. The eggs were delicious as well and cooked well. $24- 5/5 The home fries were pretty good, I don't know if peppers and onions were supposed to accompany the home fries, regardless they were pretty tasty after adding ketchup. 5/5 The Vanilla Chai Latte was really good and the presentation was dynamite. I think I paid for the fancy presentation. $6-5/5 The waitress came over thrice in the beginning- 1. Drink order, 2. To take our order. We were still exploring the menu so 3. She came once more. After that, she was Casper the Friendly Ghost. Sure, she had other guests but for the entire meal, she was absent from my table. I can't say that she disappeared because I saw her writing checks. And another guest waited a long time as well. I had intentions to purchase another Vanilla Chai Latte, but it took too long for my waitress to return. What was sarcastically funny, when she finally returned to my table, she had the audacity to ask if I wanted something. I am thinking to myself -order something else and sit for another 30 minutes. Nah, I'm good! My point of view- I came to eat and leave instead; I ate and stayed- longer than I had intended. I surpassed the giving mode and was now in the bare minimum mode, in other words, the 25% greatly decreased. Improvement suggestion- an attentive and alert wait staff is most appreciative, so mentioning that to the wait staff is highly recommended. Inspire more, Yelp more!

We started with the calamari, which was delicious, and even the bread they brought out was so fresh and warm. For dinner, I got the spicy rigatoni and added shrimp, and it was absolutely amazing. My date got the short rib pappardelle and loved his as well. We finished with the cheesecake, and this is where I have to give a huge shoutout to our waitress, Amanda. She was incredible from start to finish -- attentive, sweet, charismatic, funny, and just genuinely made the whole experience that much better. When we ordered dessert, she told us she was going to find us an awesome, big piece of cheesecake and asked which drizzle we wanted -- raspberry, chocolate, or caramel. Naturally, I said, "Give me all the drizzle," and she immediately said, "You got it." When she came back, she told us she didn't think she was able to find us a big enough piece, so she was taking the dessert off the bill. Meanwhile, we were looking at the cheesecake thinking the portions were completely fine! It was such a sweet and unnecessary gesture, and the cheesecake itself was delicious. The Harrison already has great food and such a nice vibe, but Amanda really made the experience memorable. She's the main reason I wanted to go out of my way to leave a review. I'll definitely be back!

I had the tea experience with Black Velvet and it was just what I needed. I'll admit that the licorice and peppermint were very faint, but it was still a tasty tea and sharing a large pot with my partner, we finished the whole thing. My MIL loved her ginger peach tea, and my friends each enjoyed theirs, one getting his go-to peppermint and the other trying the red raspberry and remarking in how pleased she was with her choice. Lesson learned- if you come here and DON'T get tea (with the adorable teapot, teacup and saucer, all charmingly mismatched) you're doing it wrong. Because I'm weird, I just ordered the Irish soda bread with a dish of whipped cream as a "light" breakfast, and I appreciated that the server humored me to the fullest. My partner had a blueberry muffin that he was super pleased with, probably his favorite that he's found in the area so far. My MIL unabashedly devoured her chicken salad sandwich and the potato salad it came with - usually she's picky so that's quite the endorsement. The avocado toast and burger that my friends ordered all looked fantastic too. Great service, delicious food and tea, and very good prices- next visit will be for the live music!

Wanted some breakfast and hot java on a cold morning like today. Opened up the YELP app, typed breakfast and clicked search. Decided on this place and again, this community has picked a winner! Friendly waitress, who said yes...when I asked if the coffee was good? Being a certified coffee snob, I gave her the side eye and told her how I take it. Minutes later she appeared with a piping hot take out cup. My nose and taste buds were very happy as I savored every sip! I ordered a simple comfort food breakfast. Eggs over easy, grits and whole wheat toast. I had a side order of lettuce and tomatoes because, well I love lettuce and tomato! My food was fresh and hot! I enjoyed my meal while listening to lite songs from the radio. Hearing the staff greet regulars and new comers like me, with a smile made me feel all fuzzy inside. I plan to return to try the pancakes, waffles and other breakfast dishes. All in all, this is a great neighborhood spot!

There was no information on the website regarding making reservations so we decided to meet there in the morning. I arrived there first at 10:30am. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a wonderful host who unfortunately told me they might not be able to accommodate me. The place was decorated so wonderfully for Halloween. I was preparing to find another spot via Yelp, but then she came over to tell me she was able to accommodate us. However, we would only be able to spend 90 minutes at a table. I was disappointed only because I was catching up with a good friend. Once my friend got there we ordered from the menu and unfortunately a lot of the items weren't available. We ordered and the meals and coffee we ordered were fantastic. We were clocked for 90 minutes exactly then kindly asked to leave. I really wanted to love this place, but I would avoid going for a catch up session with someone. I will say everyone was very nice and the food was delicious. I would also recommend calling in advance to make sure you don't need to make reservations.
