"This was my first visit to the Bistro and I was glad I went in. My choice of food was well cooked and a reasonable cost. However, a group of more elderly ladies were dining at the same time and the staff did all they could to ensure their food was what they wanted and met their different tastes. That's what I call a fantastic service. Service: Dine in"

"beautiful steak, drinks are expensive, waiting workers appear new, half clearing table before everyone was finished. just hope that the service standard from our first visit does not slip because if you want to calculate their prices, then you would also like a good service."

"Fantastic restaurant! The atmosphere is wonderful. I dined at The Manor on a Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised by how busy this charming little spot was. The service was very friendly and accommodating, and the food was outstanding. The moules marinière were a true masterpiece, and the lamb rack was both delicious and expertly prepared. Overall, this level of service and quality is something I would typically expect from a much more renowned establishment, and the prices are reasonable considering the high standard of the offerings. I will definitely be returning!"

"We were in Clacton for the weekend and found this place via Tripadvisor. The reviews weren't wrong. We were struggling to choose because the choices looked so good so we decided to go for the 3-course set menu. It began with a beuatifully presented selection of Thai starters, of which the chicken skewer was the star, but it's probably the best prawn toast I've had. The mains were chicken, beef and vegetables with superbly cooked jasmine rice. Then a very nice ice cream for dessert. Lovely service too, very friendly. Under £35 a head including drinks. It was quite busy and there was a steady stream of takeaway orders being picked up too. I'm not surprised."

"We had been to Franco's many times before and loved it, both under the original ownership and the new. However, it seems that it has changed hands yet again and not for the good I'm afraid. Although, judging by the November reviews maybe it is back on track again. I also note that late September/early reviews are similar to ours, which was very poor. In fact we left before the food arrived, mainly due to the extremely poor level of service we received with our drinks. We were out to celebrate my wife's birthday and to start the evening, the four of us all ordered double Gin Tonic's. However, it took 40 minutes for the drinks to arrive. And if if we thought the time taken to bring the drinks was bad, then you can imagine our disappointment when one of the waitresses brought four large dirty glasses with what looked like water in them. No ice, no lemon, and the mixers already poured in the glass, so no way to judge what level of gin we had received. When we asked about the ice and lemon they looked at us in astonishment. We assumed that they had none of neither, otherwise why bring drinks without the basics? It was like they had never worked in a bar/restaurant before and had just wandered in off the street. To make matters worse, they then arrived later with a glass of lemons and a glass of ice. By this stage we could see the evening descending into chaos and we decided to leave. No apology from the staff or questions, they just allowed us to leave and got on with their business. Very off-putting. We decided to try Killocks, which was surprisingly good. Unfortunately, that's another restaurant off the go-to list."
