Donโt make me say โI told youโ. Donโt go.
Donโt go. We spent nearly 100 dollars per person and got as an 8 course fixed menu: half a toast with avocado, spaghetti with ONE mussel, lettuce with dressing, potato salad, and half a scoop of strawberry sorbet. The rest was so so. Besides, you eat all in the same plate with the same cutlery. Very overrated.

Never again. The worst tasting menu experience we've ever had. The dinner was over $100 per person. The service and the level of attention was below average. Examples of dishes: tomatoe-cucumber salad (a couple of pieces per person), single oyster per person, pasta with corn, pork that tastes like it's from Safeway. Besides, they returned one of our jackets with the labels cut off (looks like intentionally). We found out about it several days later. I don't recommend this place.

Nice cosy and comfortable small local gem of a restaurant with friendly efficient staff and a lovely menu and wine list. Food is fantastic and look forward to the next meal we have here on our next visit to San Francisco.
Be the first to ReplyNice restaurant - service
Nice restaurant - service great! Serves only beer and wine. Would recommend as a place for date night.
Be the first to ReplyA truly tasting menu.
The two midwestern couples next to us thought we were food critics, since a constant stream of great dishes came our way. We had ordered the tasting menu. It was a true treat. Innovative flavors, beautiful plated and served with a lot of love. I also really liked the venue, and all the other guests looked like college professors. The pork chops, the pasta, the salad, and especially the pavlova for dessert were delicious. Thank you for a great evening to the superb staff.
We left the midwestern couple telling then we were going to write a great review. ๐
Excellent meal!
Read about Frances in a news article and went on a Sunday night. It's nicely, but simply, decorated a small place in the Castro with very small tables for two (which I hate) and noisy, but the meal was fantastic, service was good. We had the tasting menu, and everything was just outstanding. The best things were probably the vegetables, the Little Gem salad was just outstanding, the pole bean appetizer was wonderful. The chickpea frites and the bacon beignets were great. The halibut was perfect and the steak was great. Desserts were good. The price ($65) for the tasting menu was appropriate and when I ordered cider, the server brought me a small amount of the prosecco my husband had ordered, to tide me over while the cider cooled. The tasting menu is a lot of food, although portions weren't unduly large.

Frances is in my opinion one of the best restaurants in SF. The food is exceptional and the service outstanding. I love that it is small and very much a neighborhood restaurant. They have a very good wine list and every server can help make a selection if your not sure of what to order. The menu changes quite often so if your a regular there is always something new on the menu. I don't live in SF but visit often. My son is a chef in SF and it's one of his favorite places so I get to dine here every time I come up. Such a treat and can't wait for my next meal there.

Finally made it to Frances..... and enjoyed our dining experience there. Casual setting, attentive and friendly service, good food. Solid restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyFood was outstanding and our "unoffical" server, Tara, was outstanding, too!
We were on vacation in San Francisco and had learned of the restaurant, Frances, through some friends of ours. We had made a reservation, and when we got there, we were upgraded from a two-top to the four-top table by the window. Wow! We were off to a great start. (The restaurant is quite tiny and the two tops are really close to each other, so we felt like we had won the lottery!!)
Our server (not Tara at this point) was a little on the "not as friendly as one should be in this business" side. (Maybe she was not happy that the four top was now occupied by only two people instead of four.) I might have downgraded Frances to a 4 due to the somewhat "chilly" service by our main server, but another server,Tara, a server in training for only her second day, saved the day!!! She took SUCH great care of us, so much so that I asked before we left if I could have my picture taken with her! (So, if you can request a server, ask for Tara. You will know because her eyes are such a beautiful color.)
On to the food. The food was fantastic!! Here's the menu description of what we had (which changes daily):
Starter: Applewood Smoked Bacon Beignets with Maple Chive Crรจme Fraiche
Entrees:
Halibut - Blistered Snap Pea, Pearled Couscous, Sorrel Fumet, Spring Onion Cream
AND
Gnocchi alla Romana - Maitake Mushroom, Summer Squash, Grana Padano, Basil Oil
Dessert: Lumberjack Cake - Medjool Date, Stonefruit, and Coconut with a scoop of Brulee Ice Cream. (THIS WAS A FULL BASES LOADED HOMERUN! I would love, love, love to have the recipe.)
I believe that a number of the recipes are inspired by the owner's grandmother and I think that the restaurant is named Frances, after the owner's grandmother.
