St. Francis- Phoenix

St. Francis reminds me of a neighborhood spot that not only connects to people through its food, but down-to-earth service that's authentic and genuine. 

The former 1950s architect's office turned restaurant offers a cool appeal of both old and new--the perfect combination of history and modernism. In one of the areas, artists Hector and Dose painted a mural that adds another level of freshness to this hidden gem. Similar to other restaurants that have made this list, using fresh foods is something very important to St. Francis. 

The diverse menu consists of simple foods that are done extremely well. Anything from comfort foods to savory dishes with great powerful flavors. Throughout the menu, foods are reasonably priced and are perfect with a cocktail of your choosing. Happy Hour, here, is highly esteemed with half off wines by the glass, wells, beers and $5 specialty cocktails.
