| - I went to Francesca's for the first time with great anticipation after hearing about their good Italian food at reasonable prices for many years. Boy, was I disappointed. We ate at the bar, and the first strike was the bartender's answer to my question of what was their house red wine, which was, "I don't even know what that means", because they offer 7 or 8 wines by the glass. That was out first feel-bad of the evening. Additionally, their wine glasses are very small, yet the prices don't reflect it. As for the food, the Caesar salad had clearly been sitting in the cooler for many hours and the dressing was tasteless. Any self-respecting Italian restaurant should have a decent Caesar salad. On a similar note, the minnestrone was incredibly salty. Our entrees (pasta and fish) were decent, but we already had been let down by the attitude, the wine price/small glass ratio and disappointing soup & salad. By that point, we were glad we had tried it, but will not return.
