Review of Franciscano Restaurant

This place was ok. Good location, decent food.

This place was ok. Good location, decent food.

We came here on a Wednesday afternoon while we were in the area (I wouldn't eat in Fisherman's Wharf otherwise). We asked to sit outside, so we sat outside on the patio, which was perfect for the day's weather. It was me, my mom, and my dad - dad ordered the calamari and the crab enchiladas while mom and I split the whole roasted crab and a caesar salad.

Calamari - typical fried calamari, nothing really special. Came with cocktail sauce on the side.
Crab enchiladas - I only tried them but thought they were delicious, had a TON of crab in them, they definitely weren't stingy here.
Caesar salad - only came with anchovies by request, but they did put quite a few on there once we requested it. Overly dressed but otherwise good.
Roasted crab - not as flavorful as I would have liked. It's done in their "special garlic sauce" so I expected more garlic, but it was still good.

The service was great, though the price came out quite high for what we had. I might come back if I was in the area but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way for it.
