Francesca's North
Description
Francesca North Shore offers a mixed dining experience according to recent reviews. While some found the menu to be overly ambitious and not particularly appealing, others praised the delicious food and good service. The restaurant was noted to be only half full on a Sunday evening, suggesting strong competition in the area. Some guests felt discriminated against when a birthday dessert was offered to a neighboring table but not to them. Others enjoyed the typical fare, with highlights being the tender calamari and the scallop and shrimp dish. Although some found the food just okay, the excellent service and accommodating manager stood out. Positive reviewers highlighted the friendly staff, delicious food, and kid-friendly environment. Overall, Francesca North Shore seems to offer a reliable dining experience with room for improvement in noise level and menu creativity.

We held a family event at Francesca's, and Kim was an excellent server. Thank you!
When it came time for dessert and coffee, my cappuccino was cold and tasted mostly like foamy milk, without much flavor. My friend’s mango sorbet arrived well after my coffee, so we weren't really dining together. The server also didn’t bring sugar with the cappuccino, and after already asking him to remake my drink, I felt too exhausted to ask for anything else. I felt like I was being a demanding customer, but all I really wanted was a basic dining experience—with my food served at the right temperature, in a timely manner, along with occasional check-ins from the staff. I don’t think I’ll be returning to this location, but I do still recommend the other Francesca's locations in general.
I hosted my daughter's bridal shower at Francesca's North, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. The coordinator was incredibly helpful and thorough. Our server, Kim, was outstanding and attentive to the needs of every guest. The food was delicious! The manager was also very accommodating and welcoming.
Francesca's in Northbrook is a fantastic place to host a private event. Had a shower there yesterday. Everything from start to finish was easy and well done. Menu options are great. Room was all set up when we arrived, staff working the event were really great. Helpful, friendly, knew what they were doing. Food was all great. Can't say enough about how smoothly this event went. Would highly recommend. Shout out to Janie and Moises, our servers, they were amazing!
