| - Saturday evening, I visited St. Francis for the second time with my wife and some family. This time we sat upstairs, which is set up like a loft, partially open to look over the first floor. It was noticeably warmer than the first floor, but it wasn't uncomfortable. An extra AC vent wouldn't hurt, though.
Nearly everything about the dinner was outstanding! The server was attentive, but not annoying, the food was delicious, and the wine was a bit disappointing for the second time in a row. Going back to the food, there were six of us that night. We started with the baked goat cheese and warm baguette. For our entrees, the six of us had the pork chop, pork chile verde, breakfast for dinner, white fish, salmon, and seafood cioppino. Each of us raved about our own selection. I don't think anyone had a single complaint. Going back to the wine, which was fine, but not up to the standards of our meals. My wife and I have tried two different bottles of red (a Rhone and a Malbec) during our different visits. Typically, we enjoy the varietals we ordered very much, but not these two times. We'll keep trying, because everything else about St. Francis is excellent (including the mid-century modern decor and ambiance), but we'll also keep our skepticism about the wine menu.
