I have wanted to try St. Francis for some time. I drive by it all the time and it always looks full of people having a good time. I went here with a group of friends on a Wednesday night and was surprised to find out there was a 45 minute wait. The hostess was very friendly and said we could go the bar area or the area by the fire. While it is nice that we could hang out and have a drink I thought 45 minutes on a Wednesday was kind of a long time to wait for a table. Maybe I am just getting impatient as I get older...
I had the St Francis lemonade which was delicious and refreshing. For an appetizer we split the baked goat cheese. It was so good we ordered a second order. It was probably my favorite thing of the entire meal. For dinner I split the chicken flat bread with my sister. It was a good size portion and came with caramelized onions, chicken, fennel, and arugula. While it was tasty it didn't "wow" me. Two other of my friends both got the citrus salad and it looked pretty good and was something you wouldn't normally make for yourself at home - so maybe I will try this next time.
The service was friendly but I did feel as if our server was repeating things directly from the menu like a robot and he couldn't really make a good suggestion on what to try for food or wine. Overall, I think St. Francis is good place for groups or for a romantic dinner it just wasn't as spectacular as I thought it would be.
