Francesca's Lounge - Patterson

Francesca’s offers truly fantastic food, but the only thing preventing it from receiving a perfect five-star rating is the service. If you plan to dine here, be prepared for a wait.

Terrible experience… We visited on January 25th and, being from Patterson, we had out-of-town guests with us. Unfortunately, we had no other choices for a sit-down dinner, so we ended up here. We were a party of six, and none of us enjoyed our meals. The pasta was dry and overly peppered. None of us could finish our plates, so we ended up boxing the leftovers to take home for our dogs. My husband was frustrated about the money wasted. Our guests were polite and thanked us, but the next day, we joked about throwing away the food! Our server was fantastic, but it wasn't her fault. We tipped generously, but we will definitely not be returning!

The food was incredible, the atmosphere was perfect for unwinding, and the service was outstanding. The crème brûlée was absolutely delicious! For dinner, drinks, and dessert, it cost less than $70 for two people.

In hotel, so we did not have to leave the area. Dinner we shared the Chicken Alfredo. The sauce needed to be creamier. It was ok, but just missing something. For breakfast my husband ordered a Sausage and egg burrito. No sausage was available, so he settled for bacon. The burrito tasted good. I ordered the pastry of the day. The only thing available was Churro's. They were good, but I was wanting something else. Service was great!

WOW! I would give this a sixth star if I could. I ordered the Alfredo Francesca with chicken. Comes with soup or salad, waitress suggested the soup, Italian wedding soup, it was excellent! The Alfredo Francesca chicken was outstanding, just the right amount of spice that kicked it out of the ballpark~excellent! The bartender/waitress was very nice and attentive. This restaurant is located inside the Best Western hotel. I will definitely stay at hotel on next trip just to eat here again.
