| - Nice, little trendy restaurant with complimentary valet service. I almost couldn't believe that it was complimentary and my mother kept trying to give the guy some money for parking our car.
Upon entering, we were immediately attacked by some wood or bark that fell off a top shelf and almost nailed my mom in the head. I helped pick up the mess before we were shown to our table.
We were seated in the middle of the restaurant, but they let us move to a better table near the back.
Water came out a few minutes later, which is a good sign.
We ordered a few drinks from the HH menu: an almond margarita and some type of lemonade, cucumber concoction.
I didn't care for the cucumber drink, so I stole the margarita from my mom.
I specifically wanted to try their Pig Dip sandwich, because I had seen it on Triple D and Guy raved about it.
The Pig Dip is not on the HH menu, but their kitchen approved my request. We also decided to try their Moroccan meatballs.
Okay, the plates are huge and make it difficult to navigate due to the small size of their tables. I'm not referring to the portions. I'm talking about the strange wood plates they use when serving hot dishes straight out of their wood-fired oven.
Now, the food really leaves a lot to be desired. At this point, I had been enjoying myself, but the food detracted from the overall experience.
The meatballs have a decent flavor, but they are INCREDIBLY salty. I probably wouldn't order them again.
The Pig Dip sandwich is served with an au jus-like sauce and French fries. The fries were absolutely delicious, but the au jus had too much vinegar or something. It made the sandwich taste terrible and I couldn't figure out what it was until I stopped dipping my sandwich in that awful stuff.
The Pig Dip by itself isn't too bad, but it certainly isn't one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. It isn't even in my top 5. This was slightly depressing, because Guy made it seem like something special. It clearly wasn't.
It also cost $16, which makes it one of the most overpriced sandwiches I have ever had.
Listen, St. Francis, I have eaten far better sandwiches than your Pig Dip for almost half the price. I realize that you make most of the ingredients in-house, but that is just a ridiculous price for an average sandwich.
In sum, St. Francis offers an interesting combination of products, a great HH menu, and utilizes attractive decorations to make their customers feel comfortable.
I would probably go back.
