I recently dined at Frances in San Francisco for a cozy evening out, and I can't stop raving about it! 🍷 Their menu is a delightful mix of adventurous choices; I opted for the flavorful agnolotti and wagyu short ribs, both perfectly cooked.

Don't skip dessert - the chocolate mousse is a must-try! The warm, welcoming service made the experience even better. Although parking was a bit tricky, the vibrant atmosphere and lovely outdoor seating made it worthwhile.

Perfect for a romantic meal or a night out with friends. I’ll definitely be back!✨
