Just piling on here. But it needs to be known. Fran is completely the wrong person to own or manage a restaurant. She is a complete lunatic. Being an intelligent woman (she is an attorney, after all) you'd be shocked. During a visit to her old Metropolitan Cafe, my wife was served a piece of fish that reeked of amonia. Yes, amonia. That's a really bad piece of fish and should not have been served. We presented this to our server. He did not have to put his nose very close to smell the same thing. He seemed fearful, however, of returning to the kitchen with the plate. He came back out and advised us that the owner did not feel it was a bad piece of fish. What kind of sick person does this? Fran. Can you imagine poor Frank growing up with her? Poor soul. She has a very bad reputation for a reason. She's messed up in the head to run restaurants the way she does. It's likely she's always short staffed because she cannot keep employees due to her ridiculous behavior and lack of humanity. No, I have never worked for her but can only imagine. Eat here at your own risk. Note, any time there is a ""special"" it is leftover ingredients repurposed and with the price bumped to make you feel like you're getting something special. You are not.
