For as long as I've been working in the restaurant industry I've been told I must to go to the Franklin. I wish I hadn't waited so long! Our waitress was awesome. Fantastic service quality, great conversation and superb knowledge of the restaurant's product. I wish I could remember her name so I could give her a shout-out. It was funny that she knew a handful of other people in the industry that I also currently work/formerly worked with. Anyways, she contributed to our already good night becoming a great one. We had the wings and goat cheese crostini as appetizers. Both were fantastic! The wings were spicy but not so much that your mouth is on fire. The sweetness of the fig purée paired perfectly with the natural saltiness of the creamy goat cheese. For entrees, all four members of our party got the steak frites that everyone always raves about. It really is the best steak frites in Boston! Can it be compared to a $50 filet at other places? Of course not. Apples and oranges, people, apples and oranges. But the preparation of these steak frites for just $20 cannot be beat. I prefer my steak mid-rare, and the steak came out textbook-definition medium-rare. The way that the Roquefort butter melts over the steak and mixes with the port Demi glacé that is served beneath the steak is nothing shy of pure excellence. Another huge bonus was that wine menu is priced so low! To get a bottle of Marc Bredif Vouvray for just $25 and Patz & Hall Pinot Noir for under $50 is next to unheard of... Especially in the South End. When I asked our waitress if I could order a dessert for my friend that was celebrating her birthday, she politely informed me that they do not offer dessert and proceeded to send our table a round of birthday cake shots. In my opinion, liquid dessert is the best kind! All-in-all, it was a perfect experience and cannot wait to return! read more

Franklin cafe is supposedly where the industry likes to go (and with good reason). Located on the frequently passed Shawmut ave, in an unassuming row of brownstones, Franklin is a small, dark no-frills place that just serves great food and drinks at a sub-Tremont street price. Entrees seem to rotate, but certain delicious selections that I remember feature the oxtail risotto with smoked blue cheese, apple, red wine ($18). Other heavier entrees such as the steak frites and mushroom/potato stew are classically done and fall in line with most Boston restaurants. I'm a big seafood fan and both their catfish with black rice, mango, citrus aioli, and butter poached cod, eggplant, fried brussels sprouts, caramelized soy (a nice slight asian twist) are light and flavorful. Portions tend to run on the smaller side, and it certainly gets crowded on the weekends (stop by on the weekdays). Food (8/10) Service (4/5) Decor (2/5) read more

Where do I begin? I have finally found an exquisite meal in Boston! Went here on a Sunday night for dinner and drinks with a friend. Can I get a Hallelujah? First, they start you off with crispy bread and Hummus with fresh garlic (I hate garlic, but it was really good). The Tangerine Gimlet was most exhilarating, refreshing and delicious cocktail I've ever consumed. My friend had the Blood Orange Martini and shes seemed very pleased with it. We also enjoyed the Franklin Sidecar later in the meal. Anyway, back to the amazing food. We weren't too hungry so we decided to get a few apps and split them. Duck Quesadilla was much better then I had expected in fact it had the most amazing flavors and the duck was cooked perfectly. We had already decided that the Zucchini was a must (after our friend suggested it) and it did not disappoint. The corn on the cob was so buttery and delicious who wouldn't love it? After being recommended the Chowder from the waiter we decided to add that as well. I cannot believe how light yet delicious this was. FABULOUS. Lastly, we had the scallops wrapped in bacon. We really enjoyed the sauce on this dish, but it was a little too smokey for my taste. The lack of dessert was a little bit of a disappointment but more drinks really assuaged our sweet tooth. Overall, I had a marvelous experience. I cannot describe how excited I am to have found such an amazing place in Boston. FINALLY!!!! read more

I came across the Franklin Cafe by sheer accident. My friends and I were in Boston for St. Patty's day, and after a LONG day of drinking (and napping), we woke up too late to eat elsewhere. After Yelping, we found out that the Cafe serves their full menu until 1:30am (awesomeness when you're just getting out of bed at 11:30pm!). I am not going to lie... when we arrived, we were a little skeptical. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, the street seemed very quiet and deserted. Once inside, my opinion totally changed. The restaurant was charming, dimly lit, and quaint. The three of us were seated at a table by the window. This was awesome, considering that I LOVE to people-watch. The menu had something for everyone. When the fresh bread and homemade hummus came out, I was in heaven! The hummus was all creamy deliciousness. For starters, I went with the Calamari and black-eyed peas, and the arugula salad. The arugula had pears and a date-paste (I am Middle Eastern and it reminded me of Harosit). The flavors melded together very nicely for a light pre-dinner 'eat'. For my main dish, I ordered the turkey meatloaf with fig gravy. It was a MAN-sized portion and I ended up sharing. It was definitely comfort food! Both of my friends went with pasta dishes and both were hearty and tasty. I wish that I could recall our waitresses name because she was amazing (she was working Saturday night, March 16th - does that help anyone?!). When again in Boston, I will absolutely be returning to this lil' neighborhood gem! read more

Went here with a friend to grab a bite to eat late on a Tuesday night. The bar was full so we grabbed a seat at one of the booths that was free. They start off the meal with french bread with a hummus spread that is delicious--I think the two of us went through two baskets. For my meal, I decided to go with the meatloaf. It came with chive mashed potatoes and was topped with a fig sauce. The fig sauce wasn't my favorite combination with the meatloaf, but the mashed potatoes were perfect. All together, the dish was very tasty and a decent portion size. Overall, this place has a great vibe and atmosphere and is very reasonably priced for the South End. The food is quality and the service is friendly. A great place to check out for dinner and/or drinks. read more

This place was great! Great neighborhood right in the heart of the south end. Nice cozy feel in the restaurant and the bar. My date and I both had the House-Cured Corn Beef and Cabbage, as we had seen it on the Food Network's TV show "The best thing I ever ate." And yes - it was delicious. Every bite of it was savory. It was the best corned beef I've ever had. It was huge too. Neither of us could finish. We also had the chive mashed (mashed potatoes with chives) and it was pretty tasty. The prices weren't too bad. Our entrees were $18. In fact, all the entrees hovered around $16-19 which isn't bad at all. And you really get your money's worth. I'm definitely planning on coming back here again, as their Fried Chicken dish looks really good! read more

Rude host and servers, but good food and ambiance. I recommend the steak frites. The hummus they bring with bread is yumm-o. I don't know why the staff is always unpleasant. The asian waitress is very inattentive and downright rude sometimes. The male host is always impersonal and unfriendly, and was unapologetic when my "20 minute wait" turned out to be over 45. I have had good experience with the young white waitress, she was friendly, helpful, and didn't murmur under her breath when I asked for more bread.. read more

Had an overall very positive experience here. My dining companion and I headed here after hitting up the Museum of Science, and I'd never been to Franklin Cafe before. I was encouraged to try a cocktail, so I went with the Cucumber Collins. Though not the best cucumber drink I've ever downed (I like mine with more citrus), it tasted sort of like cucumber seltzer, and was still very refreshing. Our meals were outstanding. I got the olive-crusted cod and my friend got the steak. I'm not always big on fish but thought it sounded good, and Franklin Cafe delivered - the texture of the cod was spot-on, perfect amount of olives spread on top, and the portion was just right - any more and I would've made myself sick from eating too much! For the price, too, I think it's all quite reasonable. It's worth noting that it took us awhile for us to get our drinks, but our server was cute about it (joked that they needed to run to stop and shop to get the cukes), and then our meals came out at practically lightening speed, so all told the wait time wasn't too bad. I was told the slow service on the drinks is not standard. If you're in Southie, there are a handful of great places to check out, but if you make Franklin Cafe one of your stops, it's unlikely you'll be disappointed! read more

The perfect late night spot - great food, great drinks, and great ppl. The first time i went here i ate the meat loaf. Huge portion and really heavy so don't order it unless you're hungry... very tasty though. The second time i went i tried the bone-in filet. WOW. i never thought a little bar like this could have a bone-in that tasted better then the local steak houses. This i will DEFINITELY come back for. read more

Even though I was not impressed by the Franklin's famous corned beef brisket (too charred) or my dining companion's anemic plate of steak frites, I would consider coming back based on the strength of the braised lamb short rib we had to start. I can't remember the last time I had an appetizer that was so beautifully composed. The succulent meat fell off the bone at the slightest caress of a fork, and played well with a host of accoutrements including watermelon, figs, red onion, and some of the best feta I've ever had. Drinks are pretty affordable, not to mention potent. That being said, the Franklin may be best enjoyed at the bar, where you can order a few apps and sip on a host of fun cocktails. And last but never least...dessert. What do you mean there is none? Who are you people?!? At least Citizen has its signature sticky toffee pudding... read more

THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC!! I can't say enough about it really, the menu is delicious and fresh and inexpensive. Every year I wait with drooly anticipation for the turkey meatloaf with figs gravy to come back on the menu (it is AMAZING). The atmosphere is laid back and they serve food until 1:30 ( great place to go in a snowstorm). Also the staff are very friendly and the bartenders are great. They do not take reservations and it gets very crowded so best to arrive early or late with the fact that you may have to wait for a table in mind. That said, it is WELL worth the wait. If you have not been here already you have missed out on a Boston gem! read more

Marked with a martini glass outside, this place is a neighborhood gem. SO cozy and warm inside and wonderful service AND food. The lighting is darker, there are just a few tables and most are booths. It makes for a great place to sit with good people and converse over craft cocktails and delicious food. The ceasar (grilled little gem) salad is sooooo good. So is the mushroom ravioli. And my friend got meatloaf and really enjoyed it. A great place for just drinks as well. Will be back! read more

My favorite bar/restaurant in the country. I live in LA but if I am in Boston I make it a point to stop into this local dig. Consistently outstanding food, beverage and service. If they had a Michelin Star for casual places with good bartenders Franklin Cafe would have one. The clientele is eclectic and usually someone will make me laugh while sitting at the bar having my dinner. Cheers. read more

I'm bumping to five stars for two reasons: 1) I've begun to explore their cocktail menu. The gina's ginger beer ($9) is one of my favorite drinks in the city. It has PBR, Domaine De Canton Ginger Liqueur, Fresh Lemon Juice, and Fresh Ginger. 2) Huge gluten free menu. Much appreciated. I'm just sad that the summer is almost over, which means the wait times are going to get long again soon. read more

We were starving and ended up urbanspooning it and found The Franklin Cafe. I, personally would never go back there. It wasn't that the food wasn't good - it was okay but I didn't enjoy my service there. First, they moved us from a booth of 4 to a table of 4 because they wanted to reserve the booth for a bigger party. Fine. Then, when we were finished eating, they just slipped us the bill. It's a bar! One would think they would want us to stay for drinks, right? Clearly, not the case. THEN, the waiter messes up the bill and charged us for someone else's bill which was clearly wrong. Our bill was 66.88 and he charged 107 something onto the credit card. It's over 50% more than our original bill! He immediately rips the bill in front of us, which made me suspicious of his intentions. So I asked for a receipt of the refund. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN! read more

I went here at the suggestion of a colleague for a late dinner and have to say it was one of the best places and meals I've every had in Boston. The food quality, the prices, the drinks and overall atmosphere seemed to be beautifully synched together. It's a nice hidden gem that is a wonderful change from the over advertised eateries nearby promoting traditional pub grub that is neither unique or captivating as the Franklin Cafe is. I like how there is no real sign other than a martini glass over the door. I had a crisp Narragansett from the tap to accompany my hand cured corned beef brisket with sauteed onions and new potatoes. My meal was skillfully presented in cast iron skillet and was more than I expected. The beef was prefect and tender and paired well with the sauteed onions along with sea salt that I sprinkled over the dish. The beef carpaccio (which I've haven't seen very often on any menu) was expertly crafted and tasted fabulous. Both of my colleagues and I continued to rave like "foodboys" (my take on restaurant fanboy) over how impressive our meals were. The service was a tad slow at the start and overall was attentive and hospitable. It's a small place so I assume that it would be hard to get a table during peak dining hours. People seemed to have no problem getting a table after 9pm. If you want to go somewhere, chill, and have a solid quality dining experience, this is the place. read more

Looking for a late night place to eat at in the South End and ended up trying this place out. We were surprised how lively this place was at night! Very friendly staff. They were playing some of my favorite hip hop songs too! We ordered the brussel sprouts, mussels, and chicken wings... all were amazing!! read more

Had a great meal here, sitting at the bar on a somewhat early Tuesday night. The bartender was great, and had a mean pour. Definitely a plus in my book! Bibb salad was phenomenal, and the braised lamb was out of this world! Parking might be a headache (unless you're a South End resident), but it's well worth the walk from wherever you park. The next time I'm in Boston, I'm definitely coming back to see what's new on the menu. read more

This gem was suggested by some guys outside of a spot we wanted to check out but the kitchen was closed bcz it was 11:00 pm. So, they graciously hailed us a cab & enthusiastically sent us here.What a cool surprise it was to end up here as we were only in for the weekend! Chill vibe is apparent upon entry. Low lighting- actually it was dark- the very best mix of loung tunes contributing to its uber hipness. Small bar, deep booths. Mixed crowd. So loved the white been dip w fresh cracked pepper & grassy olive oil. Fried green tomatoes were very good w solid tang & nice crunch, our party really didn't care for the chef's interpretation of carpaccio, spareribs- tender w good flavor, 2 orders- it was so good we ordered more- of the grilled spicy BBQ octopus which was oh so tender- just excellent. Cucumber salad w fresh dill fronds, shaved jalepeno & radish in a vinegerette. Solid service. Good cocktail options but really Limited wine list. Street parking. Local or just visiting & your looking for a hip joint w an eclectic menus serving tasty food- then check them out. read more

Good ol' reliable Franklin Cafe. MMMM. The food is consistently good. it's always fun and cozy and delicious and they make delicious drinks. And who doesn't like a good drink? Crazy people maybe. I think the person who wrote a review saying the the host was glued to the TV was somewhere else. Maybe it's just me but I don't think i've even seen a TV in there... maybe you THOUGHT you were at the franklin but were at some crappy bar? read more

Loved this place! Custom drinks were delicious, hummus instead of the typical olive oil or butter was a nice touch, and my coq au vin was perfect! Would have been 5 stars had they sat us in the order we arrived at the restaurant relative to the other people (a couple jumped us and the host didn't correct them). read more

My wife and I often eat here (like one or twice a week). My favorite thing on the menu is the quinoa salad. Dead simple but still delicious and I always eat it thinking, I could make this but you know what? I'm too lazy and so I come here to have it and it's really good. The food is always solid and extremely reasonably priced. The vibe is low key and very hospitable. If you don't like something, you tell them and they will look to have it corrected right away. The bartenders are friendly as heck and if even you aren't a drinker (I'm not), they still take great care of ya! The crowd....well interesting. You kinda never know what you'll get and I guess that kinda goes along with the vibe in Southie and Dot these days. read more

I use Yelp often to find restaurants in the Boston area, but I have never really taken the time to write a review. Well that changed after going to Franklin Cafe last night for my birthday. Hidden on a side street in the South End, this place is by far a hidden gem in Boston. The atmosphere is very cozy and special. Although we had to wait a bit for a table late on a Wednesday night, the bartenders kept the drinks coming during the wait. When we finally sat down, our server "Squirrel" was very attentive and entertaining. When she was told it was my birthday, my next drink came with a napkin Rose. How awesome is that?! My friends and I all had different items off the menu and shared everything. The food was great, huge fan of the fried chicken and steak frites! And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, our server brings out a "birtday shot" with a candle! This place was the perfect restaurant to celebrate a birthday with a small group of friends. I can't wait to go back! read more

Our first evening in Boston was a late one so we searched for a place open for food at 1am that would serve minors. The service was fabulous - very inviting people. The food was delicious - steak frittes will be purchased again in the future. The frisée salad was flavorful, as were the corn/crab fritters. The grilled calamari was chewy. It's a bar mostly, so it is loud and the smokers outside the entrance were annoying, but those are minor annoyances. Looking forward to returning! read more

Reasonably priced, frequently rotating menu of absolutely delicious food. They also make some fun cocktails here that are delicious and strong. Service has always been really good - the servers are knowledgeable about the menu and the wine selection & they have always been really friendly. The bread/hummus that starts every meal is delicious - we always have to request more hummus. I've been here many, many times - it's my go-to spot in Boston. They don't take reservations, so it's not a good place to plan a party, but it's a great spot to go with a small group of friends or a date. read more

After reading your fantastic reviews about this place I was of course compelled to check it out! I had two old friends in town and wanted dinner to be just perfect... Aside from the amazing company and entertaining conversation...the ambiance, service and food were in fact absolutely perfect. The meatloaf dish here is mouth -watering, as is the acorn squash dish..... They don't serve dessert --so if you have a sweet tooth, make after dinner dessert arrangements....but for caffeine addicts like myself, they do serve coffee....:) read more

Always been here for delicious inventive drinks in a cool environment, never food. Starving and wanting to celebrate a big deal - I ordered the Steak Frites - not expecting "bar food" to be very good I was pleasantly surprised. Both the steak and fries were perfect in an amazing sauce --although it did look like a cow penis. Drinks were amazing as always - holdin it down for the South End read more

A Cozy Pub With the Opposite of Bar Food: The quality and execution of the food here definitely warrants the price, although the portions do not. At about 9pm on a Saturday night, this place was PACKED, with several tables of people who had been waiting for about an hour already. Having scored seats at the bar, I enjoyed eating under the wing of the expertly tended bar. The steak was a good cut, perfectly grilled and accompanied by tasty fries. The roasted chicken was the envy of our group, and I couldn't stop wiping the gravy off the plate with my fries! The well-seared tuna steak was also tasty, although the portion extremely modest. I loved the pea shoots side on the menu, but was a bit disappointed that the beautiful veggies were drowned in oil, and it was a tiny portion. All I all, I'd prefer to enjoy this type of chef'ed up food in a space that nurtures the plated food, or have larger portions of bar/comfort food in the this casual pub space. read more

After reading the reviews for Franklin Cafe, I decided to give it a shot. I didn't even get to the food. I entered the restaurant with two of the four people in our party. The host told us we couldn't sit down until everyone was there, even though there were numerous empty tables. The host was glued to the football game on television. (That's another thing. I don't want to spend that much money on dinner with some stupid football game playing in the background.) As we stood around, the host returned and asked us if we wanted to sit in front or in back. We said "in front" as I pointed to the booth next to us. He mumbled something while walked away. We couldn't make out what he said. In the distance, he set the table in the back. He then reattached himself to the football game on the television. So we left, and went to The Beehive instead. read more

I got dinner here the other night. I ordered a side of the deep-fried lime pickles for chuckles. They were delicious. Slices of sweet/tart pickles in a delicious crisp batter, served with ketchup. They were wonderous. Fried pickles shouldn't taste this good. The turkey meatloaf was good. My bartender? Awesome! The "No Fur" shirt someone else was wearing? Annoying, because it was "No Fur" in a circle with a line through it, which means "no 'no fur'." Unless the wearer intended to communicate the double-negative. In which case, awesome. Also, the no-no-fur person was not vegetarian. Please, a little consistency, yes? read more

My girlfiends love the Franklin. I just can't get behind them on this. It's okay. They do have two very wonderful things: The Franklin Sidecar and, when on the menu, Mussels. Other than that? Crowded. Small. Long Wait. Kinda expensive. Decent, but not rave-worthy, food. Small, expensive wine list. And, I think they recently changed bartenders- because the previously to-die-for bloody mary was god-awful the last time I was there. And, I'm so sick of less than inspired vegetarian options. Enough with the pasta already! I will say this for the Franklin- there are always people in there- so if you are looking for a "scene" you will find it here. read more

I'm not sure what all the hype is about here. The bar is nice, always happening and a place to see/be seen, but the menu is so limited and the wait is SO long! The times I've been here I haven't been too impressed with my food - it's good, but so are most other places in the South End and the waits are usually shorter. In terms of decoration - dark velvet, all the way. read more

The Wait: We waited an hour and a half. This would not have been a problem. However, when we complained that they had given our table away, the man in charge of seating said, "They (the people who got our table) put their name on the list earlier this evening and came back in." Hmmm. Isn't that a reservation? This didn't bother me but clearly upset our hosts who had suggested this and appeared to be regulars. The Drink: Franklin Sidecar. Excellent. The Food: Excellent in all respects. We had: Mussels - perfectly prepared and seasoned. Liver - though I am not a fan, I had several bites and the liver was very good. But do not let it get cold. Seafood Chowder - as you would expect. Perfect. Duck Breast - perfectly cooked. Would have been Five Stars except for the distress they caused our hosts as set forth above. read more

This place is great! I stopped here for a couple of beers with a friend recently & I just loved the atmosphere! I also enjoyed the grilled calamari! The only reason I give this 4-stars is because I didn't have a meal here.. I'd love to go here with a date & sit near the window at a candle-lit table! :) read more

I've loved this place since almost three years ago when my cab driver said "Here, I'll take you guys to my favorite place in this neighborhood." That was for my 21st birthday, and the drinks were soooo good. Last night we sat at the bar again and shared a bottle of wine and the two daily specials. The wine, suggested by the bartender, was excellent - and I don't really like wine. The appetizer was a tuna tartar that was fairly disappointing. I was looking forward to large, fresh chunks of tuna, and I got a little mound of fishy-ness covered with a mayo sauce. Everything else on that plate though, was very good. When the bartender asked how it was, I told him it was a bit fishy and he IMMEDIATELY offered to switch it up. Plus 20 points for you! He was super cool about it, but the boy was chomping it down, so I told him a switch wouldn't be necessary. (EDIT: Apparently my understanding of tuna tartar is differently from reality. I guess chucks of tuna are appropriately called "sashimi" o.O) The entree - swordfish over a seafood stew - was INCREDIBLE. It made up for the appetizer and all those dark moments in my life. I have never, ever eaten a seafood dish so delectable (and I don't like seafood). For $19 we got a nice meaty piece of fish, four giant muscles, and two huge shrimp in a fragrant sweet corn and tomato sauce. Plus 50 points -- it really made the night. So, great food, good portions, reasonable prices, and one awesome bartender. He was so nice he even humored us as we tried to play "name-the-bottle" with the liquors on the wall. Plus 10! read more

Very san francisco- esque restuarant- grimy, good drinks, and unpretentious food. Downside: the food was very hit or miss. - bone marrow app was delicious - beef tar tar, not so much, pre-mixed and tasted full of pickles - steak frites were good - cod, not so much, kind of water logged read more

Skip the wait and get it to go! That is what we did last night, it was very busy and we were tired. Crisp local iceberg was a typical blue cheese salad but the dressing had a bit more flair then what you would normally find at a restaurant. The turkey meatloaf came highly recommended , it came with chive mashed and it was served with a fig sauce, it was quite tasty. The sweet corn ravioli with roasted chicken, pancetta, sage, cherry, and parm cheese was a beautiful medley of taste. The pancetta could have been a bit more crisp and not so fatty but it was really good to say the least. This is a consistently good restaurant /bar which seems to be a bit hard to find these days. read more

You know that feeling when you find that next great place you want to introduce all of your friends to? I got it tonight. We tried grabbing drinks at Stephi's but a friend of mine had some "history" with one of the employees, Beehive was seemingly too loud, and everything else didn't see as appealing. A quick search using my new Yelp app (on Blackberry, I don't do iPhones) and I was reminded of Franklin cafe. YES. This place is tiny. And they don't do reservations. But they are serious. And always busy. And with good reason. I shall list them: 1. Great staff. Clearly stressed but accommodating, and very willing to help. They moved a stool over for me because I was determined to sit and eat at the bar. 2. Great dirty martinis. I'm currently writing this post two of them. Not too much vodka, not too much olive juice. What delicious dirtyz are made of. 3. Steak tartare. The only thing I've had on the menu thus far but fries were perfect and this was just delicious. Tasted like relish, but I loved knowing I was eating rare meat. ROAR. 4. Conversation. You're sitting next to others and chances are the waiters will learn about all of your dirty laundry (dirty martinis = me airing out my dirty details) but they're totally cool with it. And you are allowed to sit for as long as you'd like. Savor, sip, and spill the beans! It might seem too loud but a few drinks in you'll feel like you're the only one there. And my voice carries so I make sure of it. 5. UM MY MARTINI WAS 8.50. I've paid more in New Jersey. read more

Franklin Sidecar, Steak Frites and any of their tasty deserts makes me a happy, happy woman. If I had more money, I probably would eat here all the time. Go with a date, go with friends, go NOW. read more

Well, is it time to drink or time to eat? Space has been around for a while. When I was a grad student, living in JP and partying in the South End - Franklin was here! Franklin is a great spot to whet your whistle and knock out dinner - they don't do lunch. The perfect balance between offering quality pub grub and maintaining the drinks and atmosphere of a neighborhood bar - a winning combination where the only choice you need to make is what to order next. The space can get "tight" and the wait for a seat can take a while - my suggestion: throw back a few drinks and make new friends 'till they seat you! read more
