" From the moment we walked into The Franklin, we were greeted by warm hospitality that set the tone for our meal. I ordered the hangar steak, and it melted in my mouth—cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was lively with a tasteful decor that invites you to stay longer. Dessert was equally impressive; their chocolate lava cake is definitely one to share. I can't recommend this place enough for a special occasion or a casual dinner alike! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at The Franklin was somewhat mixed. The staff was eager to please, but the food did not impress me as much as I'd hoped. I tried the octopus, which had great texture but was seasoned too heavily, overpowering the dish. The setting was pleasant, though—perfect for a relaxed dining experience. I hope they refine their menu further, as I see potential for greatness here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our evening at The Franklin! Everything was beautiful and delicious. We were impressed by the variety of authentic Italian dishes offered. Our meals were filled with flavor and left us fully satisfied. The service was just as great—not overbearing but attentive when we needed them. I can't recommend this place highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I held my birthday dinner at The Franklin, and it was an unforgettable evening! The ambiance is surprisingly upscale with a classic vibe. I went with the seafood risotto, which was rich and packed with flavor, though I wish the portion had been larger given the price. Still, every bite was fantastic! The staff ensured we had everything we needed, making it truly a special night. Highly recommend for anyone celebrating something! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Franklin Bar & Restaurant has become a favorite for our weekly get-togethers. Each dish I've tried has been delectable, especially the gnocchi with pesto. The cocktails are crafted beautifully, making them a highlight of our nights out. Although It gets quite busy, the staff works hard to maintain a high level of service, so I appreciate their efforts. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone seeking good Italian food in a nice setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" After several attempts to find a great dining spot in Secaucus, I finally hit the jackpot with The Franklin Bar & Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, it felt special. I had the beef ravioli and it was flavorful and hearty. The cocktails were creative and delightful—perfect complements to the meal. There was a slight wait for our food, but knowing it’s made fresh made it worthwhile. I’ll be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! The Franklin truly lived up to its promises. I attended a family gathering here, and the service was out of this world. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor. The standout was definitely the short rib ravioli; it was heavenly! I've eaten at many Italian places, but The Franklin offers a twist that feels both traditional and innovative. Finally, their dessert menu is a must-try, particularly the homemade cannoli! " (*Curated Review*)
