of our founder and chef , Scott . The new name truly reflects the diverse brands within Scott Harris , rather than solely focusing on Francesca ’ s . Still , we continue to invest significantly in Francesca ’ s , having recently remodeled the original location . Although it ’ s amazing to witness the love and grit ingrained in the walls after such a lengthy period , the original Francesca ’ s requires upkeep and a little more love and care .
“ I believe we did an excellent job with the remodeling process by incorporating some new elements whilst preserving the old , thus capturing the restaurant ’ s character without jeopardizing its integrity . Consequently , customers still experience the feeling of stepping into Mia Francesca , which is of utmost importance to them . Furthermore , we have introduced new additions to the menu while retaining many of Francesca ’ s most beloved dishes , ensuring a balanced offering . Notable enhancements include the elevation of the wine and cocktail lists . Scott Harris is considering undertaking renovations for a few more locations this year . Francesca ’ s still holds significant potential , and we want to bring it up to date . To that end , in the past year we introduced new china , glassware and flatware to all our locations , which has had a tremendous impact . Our chefs use the plate as their canvas and so , the ability to work and cook with superior equipment and serve on nicer plates translates into the food itself ,” he highlights .
