ReviewsOutstanding! For those of us that enjoy fine dining, this is the place. Very nice, yet very casual. You can enjoy it in either a suit or jeans and a polo shirt. The food was cooked to perfection. The bison special was superb. We had Jeff Girard the owner select the wine and his taste was perfect. Very impressive for a date or just for that special dinner out. Not an everynite establishment but you must try to go at least once a month. For those of us that enjoy fine dining, this is the place.

A small (40 seat +/-) true bistro with the chef/owner visiting each table between preparing each meal. Well thought out quarterly menu with 2-4 specials daily. All dishes paired with fine sauces and appropriate accompaniments. Current menu winners include stuffed lamb sirloin, lobster and asparagus salad, foie gras and of course their signature onion soup.

The owner - Jeff - is so gracious and has a nice touch of visiting each table to explain the specials himself. We have dined there at least 25 times and have never been disappointed - the food is divine. Girard's Bistro is our favorite restaurant!

Food Rating [10/10] Service Rating [10/10] Ambiance Rating [8/10] Perfection Having eaten at Girard's several times (as well as having worked in the kitchen for a few years) I can firmly attest (my opinion of course) that Girard's is the best restaraunt in Massachusetts. Found in the relatively small town of Franklin, Mass., Girard's could likely thrive in large urban areas i.e. Boston or NYC. Owned by sometime chef, sommelier, and all around good guy Jeff Girard, Girard's offers an elegant dining area as well as a cigar bar which is beautiful in both appearance and ambience. A biased opinion? Try this restaraunt and judge for yourself. Amazing!!
