" What an experience! The Franklin Bar & Restaurant far surpassed my expectations. The moment I entered, the staff greeted me with warm smiles. My entreé was the special of the day—lamb shank—and it was divine. Perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. I can't praise the service enough; they made sure everything was to my liking. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the Franklin has a charming setting, my recent visit didn't quite meet my expectations. The bruschetta was lovely, however, my main dish—the carbonara—lacked proper flavor. The service was friendly yet there was an evident wait for our meals. I left somewhat disappointed but will consider giving them another chance. Dining experiences can be hit or miss, after all. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at The Franklin was a delightful experience. The restaurant has an upscale vibe, and the menu offers a nice variety of choices. I tried the chicken and waffles, which was perfectly cooked—crunchy on the outside and tender inside. The portion size was adequate, but I was hoping for a bit more chicken. Furthermore, the service was friendly, though slightly slow during peak hours. Overall, a great spot for brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Franklin Bar recently for dinner with friends. The ambiance was vibrant, perfect for a night out. However, while I appreciated the service, it could have been faster. I ordered the seafood risotto, but the shrimp was slightly overcooked and the dish lacked seasoning. It was not bad but did not meet my expectations. Still, I would consider returning just to explore more dishes. Let's hope for better next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to The Franklin several times now and it continues to impress me every visit. The waitstaff are incredibly friendly and always willing to offer recommendations based on what you enjoy. I can't say enough about their gnocchi—fluffy and delectable! Each time I've tried something different, and it's been a pleasant experience across the board. A real gem in the neighborhood that I’ll gladly bring my friends to! " (*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*)
