Went to DTPHX this wknd and made a late lunch pit stop at St. Francis. First visit for us as it's rare to be on this side of town. We split the hearts of romaine salad, pumpkin soup and the infamous French onion burger.
Service was a bit slow as it was middle of the day happy hour and only two servers for the entire restaurant, but the kitchen was kind enough to split every dish for us so that's kudo points at no extra charge as most bigger cities.
I enjoyed the sliced apples and fresh tomatoes in my salad and who doesn't enjoy bacon for texture! Next was the soup and very different to what my perception of pumpkin as I'm used to Japanese kabocha, however very inventive as I detected bits of fig and pine nuts with a hint of some secret spice for slight heat.
However the burger stole the show, medium rare was on point, nice char and tender prime beef. The bun was good, seemed like brioche as it was nice and fluffy but could've been toasted a bit more for my taste. Hubby said it was a top 3 burger in his book for AZ, number one still being Cafe Bink. All in all 4 stars for a nice afternoon casual affair that left us full and shiawase for the rest of the day :)
