I had to share this with you - there's a new restaurant that I came across randomly that I can't wait to try out next week with friends. It's called Frances
-
www.Frances-SF.com.
The
menu is mostly organic featuring comfort favorites like chestnut soup (with Straus Dairy, thank you) and local pasture-raised meats including slow-roasted short ribs and Slow Food
Farms chicken (mmm!). Vegetarians, don't worry, you're covered with a scrumptious sounding lacinato kale crepe cannelloni. Bellissimo!
Who's putting on the show? Turns out, it's Melissa Perillo, the former chef of Michelin one-star Fifth Floor. And guess what - the prices are reasonable: $23 for the most expensive entree
with pasture-raised meat? In San Francisco? Yea!
Staff is organized and professional with a smile (I knocked on their door to peek at a menu while the staff was pouring over it just minutes before opening their second day of business). In general, good staff usually follows a good chef, and at first blush I think it's going to be pretty good experience.
Atmosphere: cozy, understated; a low-candlelit chill vibe that's still fun enough to bring a small group of friends. Date place? O-Yea. Flying solo? There's a bar for hanging out to talk with a stranger or friend about (what I hope to be) fabulous food.
Location:
Castro neighborhood - 17th between Noe and Sanchez
