Frances is one of the hottest dining destinations in San Francisco's Castro district, helmed by executive chef Melissa Perello. The restaurant, which is named for Perello's grandmother, showcases market-driven farm-to-table Californian fare at dinner service Tuesdays through Saturdays.
Menus rotate daily to reflect seasonal availability, often highlighting high-quality dishes such as duck breast with escarole panade, bavette steak with vadouvan butter, and roasted cauliflower and trumpet mushroom confit. After dinner, dates can share desserts such as fromage blanc cheesecake or lumberjack cake with medjool dates, paired with boozy affogatos, Equator coffees, or Song teas. An extensive wine list highlights an impressive amount of domestic and international options, including sparkling wines and cellar selections.
