I love what they're doing here - a cozy environment with warm service and amazing, creative food offered at a true value. You can get a great entree for the price of 2 coffees at Starbucks and it's delicious & beautifully presented. The other night I had a delicious spice-crusted salmon over a ragout of artichoke hearts, chickpeas & roasted tomatoes that was as good as any fish dish I've had in months. My friend had a wild mushroom ravioli with marsala cream & truffle oil that was too die for!! Fran checks on every table, showing her true passion for hospitality and concern for her guests. Be patient if you go on a Friday night - that was the night recommended by Charlotte Magazine, so they are packed!! The staff tries their best to make your experience wonderful and it will be unless you're in a hurry. Otherwise, a weeknight is a better bet for the same amazing food without the wait. But I recommend Fran's whenever you go. So much care for so little money is rare these days.
