Let me preface this by saying I love vodka. In this case, I now love honey-infused vodka courtesy of bees and the creative minds at St. Francis. Add a splash of lemonade and let the warm weather commence! Their 'house-infused' vodka just happened to be honey so as a seasonal occurrence I recommend trying this cocktail, pronto!
The bathrooms are cool. Simple, but the sink was a little visual trick that made me say "Ahh! So you're the sink!!! Hello." I am always scouting out the design and feel of places and I If I were to die and come back a restaurateur I would definitely add this style to my top 10.
The cauliflower soup was amazing with just the perfect amount of curry, topped with capers and raisins. De-lish.
I ordered the salmon salad for dinner. Apparently, I have become quite the connoisseur of salmon (thanks farmers market fisherman for making my standards so high) because I wasn't entirely impressed by the salmon texture or flavor itself. However, the balsamic-glazed beets and presentation of the salad itself was gorgeous with thinly sliced cucumbers lining the plate topped with baby arugula.
We ordered the apple galette for dessert and I envisioned the french tart with the flaky crust and caramelized apples glistening atop. However, the apples were encased in the pastry and there were very few apples so my expectations were a little off. Of course the crème fraîche on top was fantastic. In all fairness I think some of the other dessert choices would have been more unique to St. Francis and likely better!
So many places to try, so little time. I must revisit during happy hour and to try some other dishes!
