You will not find a better selection of food in the Rome area. The prices & portions are outstanding. The staff is friendly & accomodating. Daily Specials for lunch & dinner can't be beat. The pastries are the finest you can find in the Central New York area. This is an original Family Owned & Operated business where the family is actually a part of the staff. The food is TOP QUALITY & FRESH DAILY, not some reheated leftovers like some other area establishments, extremely accomodating to the finicky or diet restricted diner. Banquets & Parties at the Franklin Hotel can't be beat for price and variety. The wait staff is amazing, a great place to dine with friends or family. This place is so good that on a Friday (especially during Lent) the line is usually out the DOOR, The fish fry is the best in the CNY area, portions are HUGE!!! DON'T SKIP THE FRANKLIN WHEN IN ROME!!!!

You want ambience, go to the highly-rated, pricey Savoy a few blocks away. But you won't find better food I think.
