Frances, San Francisco/ by Eric Tanaka, Executive Chef
In the restaurant business, you are always reading or hearing about the next great place. So often I walk away not feeling the same elation as I did when I read how great a joint was supposted to be. Expectation is such a difficult thing to live up to. Frances, in San Francisco, met all expectations because it surpassed them all. It’s such a subtle place, but it’s the detail that makes or breaks a meal for me. Everything was thoughtful and seamless in its entirety. From the wooden silverway trays to the house wine by the ounce, every detail seems to have been thought through. When you add up all the subtle details, it overwhelms you. Frances isn’t a big Hollywood production, it’s a sophisticated and charming Indie. As the Manager stated, “it’s from the heart.”
