Perfect people watching wine bar with a fabulous selection of quaffable wines. Tasty anchovies on bread and jalapeños dip. Super service.

I’ve been to Franklin’s before and loved the vibe, food, and drinks. But on my second visit this evening, the service from one staff member really let the experience down. While one server (a lovely woman) was friendly and helpful, the male server was noticeably curt throughout and became confrontational over a small billing error. We were charged for two bottles of sparkling water, but all three of us distinctly remember only ordering and receiving one. Instead of handling it calmly, he insisted - quite forcefully - that we were wrong, despite us politely saying we’d pay regardless. It wasn’t about the £5 - it was the attitude. Hopefully, it was just an off day for him. Still good food and atmosphere, but today’s service took away from it. Edit: Appreciate the response from the owner. We understand your intention was to clarify the order, just as ours was. All three of us are certain only one sparkling bottle was delivered. Again, it wasn’t about the £5 - it was about the principle and the way it was handled. I hope it truly was just a miscommunication, and that future service feels more open and respectful. :)
