I really wanted to love The Franklin, but unfortunately the experience missed the mark…read more We arrived at 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday and were the only party in the restaurant for quite some time. The waitress was abrasive from the start and immediately informed us that there was a time limit on our table. Looking back, that's actually pretty comical, considering the restaurant ended up taking far longer than their own stated limit to serve us. We were there celebrating our friend's baby sprinkle and hoped for a relaxed, enjoyable afternoon. Instead, the service was painfully slow. Drinks took an exceptionally long time to arrive, and the wait for our meals was even longer. The delays were so significant that one member of our group eventually had to leave before fully enjoying the gathering. Had the service been friendlier and more attentive, the long waits may have been easier to overlook. But between the abrasive welcome, the slow pace, and the overall lackluster experience, our celebration felt more frustrating than enjoyable. I hate leaving negative reviews, especially because I was genuinely excited to try The Franklin. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to expectations, and it's not somewhere I'll be rushing back to.

Lone Lights is a place that makes their own spirits, which you can purchase, and also sample with a menu that rotates seasonally. Their drinks are unique and provide a variety of things to experiment with for flavors. There is a membership you can buy that gives you a coaster, discounts off drinks and merch, and access to events. The bar atmosphere is great and I look forward to summer when they can open up the doors and we can spread out a little bit more. The bar isn't huge inside so it can crowd at busy times, but the staff hustles and are all super friendly. It's a favorite for almost everyone in our neighborhood!

My girlfriend had the pasta rosa and I went with the short rib pasta. The shrimp wasn't really "bang bang shrimp" like advertised, but it was decent enough. The French onion soup was actually a highlight -- the crunchy bread in it was a nice touch and gave it good texture. Where it fell short for me was the pasta. That might be partly on me for ordering it at a spot that isn't really an Italian restaurant, but still -- the sauce just wasn't good. The short rib itself was fine, but the sauce tasted like it came straight out of a can, which killed the dish. Overall, it feels like they're trying to position themselves as a higher-end restaurant based on pricing and location, but to pull that off, the food -- especially the ingredients and execution -- needs to be at a higher level.

We were sat quickly and the brought out the highchair at the same time. We started with the crab cakes and French onion soup! The soup was perfectly prepared and very delicious 8.9/10. The crab cakes on the other hand were boring had little flavor very disappointed 4.0/10. Then we had the wagyu burger with fries and a side of baked Mac and cheese. The burger was excellent I would recommend to anyone 8.7/10. The Mac was delicious as well 7.5/10. We did bread service as well for my Son, it came with a pesto butter light and fluffy ($9) seemed a bit excessive to charge that much for bread. Decor was very interesting, they had trees growing out of their center booths I loved it! 4/5 fells very fair taking into account food quality, value, decor and service. We will be back, next time to try desserts!

Disappointing on every front…read more I ordered the steak frites, as did two others at my table. All three were requested medium. What arrived told a different story: the doneness varied significantly across the plates, suggesting a kitchen with inconsistent execution and little quality control before food leaves the pass. Beyond the temperature issues, the steaks were under-seasoned and presented with little care... not what you expect at this price point or for this type of occasion. The service compounded the frustration. Our group was large, and it was clear the staff were not adequately prepared or staffed to handle that. Mistakes accumulated throughout the evening... mis placed orders, missed requests, a general lack of coordination had our plates dancing all night. What was most disheartening was the manager's response or lack thereof. When the issues were raised, there was no meaningful acknowledgment, no accountability, and no effort to make things right. For a restaurant that presumably caters to celebratory dining, that kind of dismissal leaves a lasting impression. **Bottom line:** If you're planning a special occasion, I'd strongly encourage you to look elsewhere. Vive Bloomfield did not rise to the moment, and a night that deserved better was diminished by an experience that fell short at nearly every level.

The music was actually so loud it was hard to catch up with my friend. I wasn't aware of how cozy the spot was. We weren't allowed to sit next to each other (understandably so, the seats are designed for two/four people to sit across from each other like normal) so that made it easiest to just quiet up and listen to the music. I have no problem with that, the singer was great! The waitress was kind for even checking with the manager to see if we could adjust the seating arrangement. I had to ask lol I had the fried salmon bites, very salty but good flavor. Oh, and one of the two bathroom stalls wouldn't close but luckily girl code helped us stay secure! This spot is a hidden gem especially for those who appreciate a very intimate live music performance, when they have it. I'd like to try more of the food.

Our server Scott was a sweetheart and the food came out pretty quickly. He even made me a mocktail that wasn't on the menu with grapefruit juice, cranberry juice and soda. My favorite item was the filet tips- the quality of meat was so good and it was seasoned well. It came with some goat cheese, peppers and arugula. I will say that it was a rather small portion of food though- maybe 6-8 bites of meat. The lamb lollipops were good with the balsamic drizzle but I preferred the filet tips since they were leaner. We also got the beet salad, the vinaigrette was good but otherwise the salad was just ok. Edamame was standard. Veggie/hummus tray was fresh. Lettuce wraps were good but had a bit of a kick. You can park free for 2 hours in the lot accross the street.
