It's quite possible that the college location of this chain has raised my expectation of this place and quite possibly skewed my review. Meh.
Meeting my friend in the middle of the night for relationship crisis is not usually how I like spending my Thursdays but you know , since it was at Fran's with their yummy goodness, I braved the rainstorm to lend a ear.
The good.
This is the second Fran's I've seen with Modern decor- I love it. The mosaic art piece of Marilyn Monroe is stunning. Love the colour scheme in the washroom. Love the lighting - really well put together place I'd say. My tummy starts to grumble in happy expectations and my mind is loving the decor- it's going to be a fab eating experience.
The bad.
I had a salad - Greek salad - which seemed more like a house salad. The lack of onions, olives and Greek dressing really left me disappointed. I was really in the mood for a good, oniony greek salad.
What made this worse, was that ever so often I felt like I was chewing.. .sand??! it wasn't food but it was definitely too small and I knew it wasn't going to kill me ( I really couldn't interrupt my friend's vent session either) so I chewed on.
The I had banana split - never really was tempted to have it so it was a new thing (yes I'm deprived) and I was in for another disappointment. My friend was kind enough to tell me after I ate it that I should order something like that at Dairy Queen - really not helpful - but I digress.
There was only 2 scoops - chocolate and strawberry - and I'm not a fan of strawberry ice cream. Definitely not enough syrup but it certainly looked alright and I loved the real whipped cream.
overall? not really. I'm going to the college location - at least there, when my tummy is satisfied, so are my taste buds.
