Frances in San Francisco deserves an enthusiastic 5-star review for its consistently exceptional dining experience. From the moment you step inside, the cozy and intimate ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. The attention to detail in the décor and the warm lighting creates a welcoming
A well curated dining experience with a fantastic, eclectic staff and beautiful dishes. The prix fixe is well balanced, with a great mix of fish, meats, but also pastas and vegetables. A must try!
Well paced, perfectly served, high quality Californian cuisine. Not to miss if you are in San Francisco
Been here like a dozen times. Food is always solid here. The food selection is sometimes small. It is usually difficult to get a reservation here but they recently added outdoor seating that I think now or is easy to get a table here. They changed the menu to a family style prix fix menu, which
Just moved back to SF after 3 years away and this place remains one of my favorites in town. Warm, knowledgeable and passionate service, amazing food with seasonal ingredients all in an intimate and beautiful space. So lovely!
This place is a local favorite. Food is fantastic, but reservations need to be planned way in advance. They do have a few spots bar seating for walk-ins though. Highly recommended!
Frances definitely know how to wow with the best starters and dessert.

The food is always great here. Appetizers were the stars. Main courses were good. For the prices the service was off. Maybe a bad night but still delicious food.
The restaurant is very small and quaint!! Perfect for a romantic night.. they are extremely accommodating in terms of us moving our reservation around and willing to make the necessary changes if we didn’t like any..
The food was exquisite!! We ordered there $65 sample menu where you get 8 entrees
Frances is a very fine restaurant. The dishes were very good to excellent, but it felt like everything was overly flavored -too many flavors with no simple foods to balance out the experience. Service was very good. The noise level was way too high to have a five star experience
The tasting menu was one of the top three meals I’ve had in San Francisco. Delicious, fresh, unique, creative, well portioned.
Service was excellent.
Frances offers beautifully crafted testing menu which features the best seasonal produce cooked to perfection and with memorable flavours. The uni butter spaghetti was to die for!
Reservations are difficult to get but they use opentable so you can easily see what’s available. Food was phenomenal. They had a $65 tasting menu that was a great deal (see pics). They’re lumberjack (dates) cake is famous (7x7’s 100 Things to Try Before You Die). Definitely will be back.
This was our one special meal while in SF on a trip - it was great! We got the chefs tasting menu and each of the 7 dishes were excellent. We could tell there was something extra about the dishes, a careful balance of flavors that's nearly impossible to replicate at home.
Great little place for dinner in SF. It gets pretty packed for dinner so reservations in advance are a must. We tried a variety of things recommended by our waiter and we were not disappointed. The butterfish and steak were amazing. If you like to try a lot of different dishes, come in a small group
We did the chef's tasting menu & were impressed with every course. The waitstaff was wonderful and the kitchen team obviously very skilled and creative. Easily one our favorite dining experiences of our 5 days in the city.
The tasting menu is a must try and the restaurant offers a good wine selection. Everyone was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. Great experience overall. I would definitely recommend.
