Another wonderful experience at Frances! It had been at least 7 years since our last trip and it was every bit as good as we remembered. We started off with a cocktail (Negronis), and then had the Winter Fruits, Sourdough Bread and Beignets to start. Each was delicious although I would say the beignets are closer to hush puppies than beignets…still delicious however. For mains we had the risotto and the wagyu skirt. The steak was good but know when they say “medium rare” it’s closer to rare! The risotto was awesome, the peas were crisp and I thought it was the better of the two dishes. To wrap it all up we got the lumberjack cake and the Mousse torte. The cake was the highlight! Service was great, attentive, energetic and kind! Such a great spot among a wealth of amazing OG restaurants in SF.

I took my friend for his birthday, we had an excellent time. Server was wonderful. Steaks and crabcakes were delicious.

The endive Cesar salad and the chicken pot pie were excellent. As always, our cocktails were fabulous. We had a garden gimlet which is with cucumber & mint as well as a shiso sour that actually is served with the shiso leaf! During the busy dinner hours 6-8pm just note that it's quite energetic and loud inside. They do offer n outside dining though.
