Michael Marshall★★★★★Top tier experience at The Franklin Cape Ann—possibly the best restaurant in Gloucester. Everything we ordered was absolutely fabulous. We started with the fried lobster dumplings, which were incredible, and for mains had the statler chicken and the braised short ribs—both cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Dessert sealed the deal: the white chocolate blueberry cheesecake and the flourless chocolate cake were both superb. Honestly one of the best dinners I’ve had in quite some time. Our service was spectacular too. Shoutout to my man Lenny! Lenny knows the menu from top to bottom and h
Elise Yost★★★★★We had a great Wednesday date night here! I got the hangar steak and it was perfectly cooked and the fries were to die for! I've been looking all over for the perfect shoestring fries since my go to closed. These really hit the spot and the portion was sooo generous. Will be coming back just for this dish. The service was also great! The server took careful notes of my dietary restrictions and was very friendly. The busser was super prompt with water refills. My husband's dish and the appetizer were also great but didn’t impress quite as much as the hangar steak.

Kornelia★★★★★We arrived in Gloucester after a long drive from nyc on a friday evening, absolutely starving and looking for dinner around 9pm. Most restaurants had already closed for the night, and we were about ready to give up when we thankfully found Franklin Cape Ann. This small, cozy restaurant welcomed us even at that late hour. At first they brought out fresh bread before our appetizer, which was very nice. The grilled octopus was excellent. I had the pasta of the day with perfectly cooked shrimp. My dad got the sautéed mussels, and my brother went for the fresh ground sirloin burger with fries. Eve
