Anyway, we went to Franco’s Pescheria. I LOVE this place! You can dine for lunch or dinner and they also have entertainment on weekends, plus, you can get fresh seafood there (which btw, every year we order our fresh lobsters and oysters for our special Christmas Eve dinners at Franco’s).
So for our date, we started off with some fresh shucked oysters. My bad ~ I didn’t get to take a photo of that. Sorry! It was sooo good, we devoured it before I could take my iPhone out of my purse. Lucky Limes and Blue Points are our favorite varieties!
Check out the rest of the items we ate! If these don’t make you salivate, I don’t know what will!
The food was exquisite, the service phenomenal! Both Frank (the owner) and Fran (our server) attended to us and made sure we thoroughly and immensely enjoyed our time at Franco’s Pescheria, in Lake Zurich! We highly recommend this place and be sure to give them a visit! I know we’ll be back! Kudos Frank and staff!! ❤️🐙🦐🦞🦀🍷
