"We had been to Franco's many times before and loved it, both under the original ownership and the new. However, it seems that it has changed hands yet again and not for the good I'm afraid. Although, judging by the November reviews maybe it is back on track again. I also note that late September/early reviews are similar to ours, which was very poor. In fact we left before the food arrived, mainly due to the extremely poor level of service we received with our drinks. We were out to celebrate my wife's birthday and to start the evening, the four of us all ordered double Gin Tonic's. However, it took 40 minutes for the drinks to arrive. And if if we thought the time taken to bring the drinks was bad, then you can imagine our disappointment when one of the waitresses brought four large dirty glasses with what looked like water in them. No ice, no lemon, and the mixers already poured in the glass, so no way to judge what level of gin we had received. When we asked about the ice and lemon they looked at us in astonishment. We assumed that they had none of neither, otherwise why bring drinks without the basics? It was like they had never worked in a bar/restaurant before and had just wandered in off the street. To make matters worse, they then arrived later with a glass of lemons and a glass of ice. By this stage we could see the evening descending into chaos and we decided to leave. No apology from the staff or questions, they just allowed us to leave and got on with their business. Very off-putting. We decided to try Killocks, which was surprisingly good. Unfortunately, that's another restaurant off the go-to list."

Would have an extra star but our rib eye steaks were over seared, burnt. On our visit not many daily specials, only 3 starters and 2 mains.

What can I say! Food and service was fantastic. We had a family meal for a birthday and we all enjoyed our food. Me and my husband went back the following week as we enjoyed it so much. We will definitely be returning.

Wasn’t expecting to find this in Clacton. A great Italian restaurant, food and service fantastic and in true Italian portions!! Wide selection of wines as well as other drinks. Great value for money too. Best I’ve had in Clacton for years.

I had a pleasant evening at this restaurant. I decided to come in on a whim, and despite it being a winter evening, I was greeted warmly by the staff, especially Shannon. The lamb and the chicken were both delicious. I would recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. Speisekarte ansehen

On our family vacation, we celebrated our youngest daughter's 11th birthday with a special meal to mark her passing with flying colors and securing her place in the school of her choice. The food at the restaurant was fantastic and the staff was exceptional. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

We have been regulars at Franco's for the past 3 years, but the restaurant has undergone multiple management changes in recent months. Our experience in October, as evidenced by my previous review, was disappointing. However, we learned that the former chef had returned, so we decided to give it another try. Our meal was a hit and the service was back to its usual standard. Paul, the chef, impressed us with his fantastic seafood spaghetti dish and a trio of delectable desserts. It was a delightful evening and we plan to return again soon! Speisekarte ansehen

We're visiting and found Franco's by chance and goodness are we pleased we did!! The service is spot on, traditional, honest to goodness customer service. Made us aware of their presence but were not overbearing. Friendly, chatted just enough for us to feel warm and comfortable but not so much to disturb our meal. I cannot find an appropriate adjective for the steak... I asked for a blue rib eye and was not disappointed. A perfect sear on an otherwise beautiful piece of butter soft meat. The sautéed potatoes were a seasoned offering to the gods. Excellent, cannot recommend enough. We will be traveling back the 120 miles just to eat here again.

This is the first time we have been to this restaurant under this management. The restaurant itself looked lovely and the staff were very welcoming. We were seated and two waitresses asked what we would like to drink! A little while later our order was taken. Our starters duly arrived and they were delicious, sadly we waited a very long while for our plates to be cleared. Our mains arrived a bit later, unfortunately the wrong main had been served and we had to send it back, we sat for a while and then my husband asked for his dinner to be kept warm whilst waiting for mine. When we received the correct meals the food was delicious. We had then finished our mains and again waited a while for p...

"We came as a group of 10 for my Mother in Laws 60th birthday, and I must say it was a shambles. Please let me say, that we have been many times prior to this and have had excellent food and fantastic service, so not sure what has happened. Firstly, my Father in Law had to pay a deposit for 12 of us, which was absolutely fine, however, one of those was for a baby who would not have been eating. Unfortunately the mother and baby were unable to attend due to illness, so we lost £10 of the deposit. I would like to Firstly ask, why was we charged for a baby, who was never going to be eating? Secondly, we asked for a pitcher of beer, and when this was served, we were given 3 (out of 4) of the most dirtiest glasses. The beer from previous drinkers was still in the bottom, hence the staining of brown at the bottom of the glass. This is totally unacceptable, and this could actually cause serious health issues to people drinking from them. The waitress brought the first two starters out, prawn cocktails, and dumped it infront of a parson who didn 't even order it, and even after we told her who they were for, just left it there.....would you not have picked this up and actually served it to the correct person? The prawn cocktails came out on a slate and as much as this was very nicely presented, knowing that someone with only the use of one arm had ordered this, it would have been a better option to put this on a plate, so food could be scraped to the edge of the plate and picked up. Rather than a husband having to put his fork up against his wife 's and juggle getting the food on. That 's just a food for thought, incase you have anyone else in this position in the future. We then had the mains served. Out of the 10 orders, were four full racks of ribs. One of these came out as a half. We asked the waitress if this was correct and she said, sorry, she would get the other half out. This came out AFTER the person had finsihed their dinner, which meant they had to take this away in a take away box. Seemed like there was no urgency to correct the error immediately. The burgers, I am sorry to say, are an actual joke. The burgers themselves looked like the small ones you get from Iceland. But yet, are being charged at nearly £14. That was shocking. The chips, were edible, but burnt. And again, please think about putting it on a plate (or atleast asking the person eating it what they would prefer) and not a wooden chopping board. A chopping board is for chopping after all...... We then asked for our cake to come out, so we could sing happy birthday and blow the candles out. We got told yes no problem, but you will be charged £2 per person for eating there at no point had we mentioned we wanted to eat it there and had actually already mentioned this prior to handing over the cake. We opted not to have a dessert as we felt quite deflated to be honest. When the bill came out, I asked if the 3 for 2 drinks had been deducted and she said no, thats only Friday 's . I think you need to make that clearer on your menu, as it just states Monday... Tuesday...etc and the Friday 's. But your drinks deal just says Evenings you need to amend that to specifically say Friday evenings as it is in fact false advertisement on your part. The bill came up, minus the £50 deposit (still baffled why you charged £5 for a baby) and to my surprise a £27 service charge. I asked for this to be removed, as I find this quite shocking to put on any bill. A service charge is not a given, it is a discretion by those who are paying. You cannot expect anyone to pay a service charge if they feel the service has not been up to scratch. As I previously said above, we have been here multiple times before and always had great service and exceptional food. Last night, just was not the same. It is a shame, as we come here for birthdays and we will be thinking twice now, due to the above."
