"With its striking black-and-white paint job and long, narrow dining room, chef Marissa Perello’s Frances achieves an effortless cool that makes the restaurant more than just a neighborhood standard. The menu, spearheaded by chef de cuisine Jordan Whittrock, spins local and seasonal ingredients into elegant plates like a cured crudo with stone fruit and gulf snapper with black rice and dragon tongue beans." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman
