Easy access off the river, big electric sign pointing to the entrance. Nice docks. The atmosphere, service and food great. Try the homemade chips, salsa and guacomole. Very tasty burgers. Refreshing cocktails and beer on tap. I highly recommend eating here.

My wife and I had dinner here. We were hoping to really like this place but unfortunately it didnât turn out that way. The table we were seated at was very small. Most of the tables in their dining area were small and crowded. We were immediately served complimentary fresh rolls and butter which were good. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Charging $32 for a bottle of wine that retails for $6 was totally ridiculous and uncalled for, especially in a restaurant that is striving to be an upscale seafood restaurant. Next we both ordered a Panzanella Salad ($9 pp). Although it was a decent salad it was quite small and extremely overpriced. For our main course we both ordered 12 oz. of broiled Flounder. It was just ok. We were expecting the Flounder to be much better than it was. We also ordered a side of Risotto ($10) which was a very small portion and overpriced. For seafood we like Bob Chinnâs Crab House in Wheeling, Boston Fish Market in Des Plaines, Nirvana Wine & Grillerie in Vernon Hills , and Dover Straits in Mundelein. We donât plan on returning to Francoâs Pescheria unless they make some drastic changes.We're sorry to hear you were disappointed. It's true, our restaurant can feel crowded and close some nights, especially during the dinner rush hour. We like to think it's part of our charm. Not everyone sees it that way. As for the food, I'm disappointed to hear we fell short. We get plenty of rave reviews. Sorry we didn't manage to earn one from you. If you change your mind and give us another shot, I promise we'll do our best to impress! Either way, thank you for spending an evening with us.
