Franklin Southie

          This weekend the bf and I decided to check out another popular spot we've been hearing about in the new neighborhood, Franklin Cafe Southie. The atmosphere is casual, with a menu consisting of modern American dishes made from local seasonal ingredients. The menu includes a mix of small and large plates, and can be ordered tapas style or more traditional salad or appetizer and a main course. We tried a mix of the small plates starting with some selections from the raw bar and moving on to some of the cooked dishes.

1/2 Dozen of the daily oyster selection - East Coast, Cape Cod

Salmon tartare with soy, cucumber, yuzu, and shrimp chips

Roasted acorn squash with pecan granola, maple, and chili

General Tso's chicken wings with cilantro and sesame

     I enjoyed everything we tried, but my favorite was by far the squash! There were so many other options I would've liked to try like the fried chicken, pork belly buns, and buffalo style chicken skins - I"ll definitely be back soon!
