"Well-presented food with a bit of a wait."
by Mike Beattie
(10 reviews)
January 31, 2010 - Likes it - I went to Franklin Inn for the first time on a Saturday night, and it was packed; so packed, that I had to wait for an hour to get a table. Then again, that's par for the Saturday night course.The food, however, was surprisingly good. I was aiming for vegetarian and ordered one of only two vegetarian options--the portobello/grilled veggie fajita and a burrito of the same. I was actually somewhat surprised by the abundance of fresh veggies that resulted from my fajita order. Everything from peppers/onions to zuchini to broccoli--plus the 1/4" portobello slices on top. Everything was fresh and only minimally sauteed, which really led to some fresh/crisp veggies without any sense of being greasy. You really had a chance to taste the vegetables.If I were to complain about one aspect, it would be that the veggies could have used just a hair more seasoning. The fresh presentation really let some veggie flavors come through, but the ensemble could have really used a little bit more seasoning. Herbs, salsa, hot sauce....I wouldn't want to overdo it, but something was missing. I also could have gone for some additional protein in the entree. Black beans would have been a nice touch, for example.Overall, though, I'm a big fan with a few minor nitpicks. |
