Frances is a restaurant venture by chef/owner Melissa Perello. Frances dishes out modern California cuisine in a relaxed neighborhood setting.

Frances lends a warm and comfortable space in which to enjoy its ingredient-driven dishes paired with a tall glass of wine. The menu changes frequently, ever-aiming to showcase the season’s finest offerings.

Frances supports the shortest distance between the source and the table, bringing guests local, sustainable and organic products when available.
