A business colleague and I were visiting Phoenix and when we asked for dinner recommendations, St. Francis was one of two. The local pointed out that St. Francis largely uses locally bought veggies, in particular, while also having great food.\n\nWalking into St. Francis, it's clearly an eclectic, fun environment. The menu is just as attractively unusual -- and every appetizer, drink and dish we ordered was delicious and full of flavor.\n\nThe goat cheese appetizer wasa good -- the meatball appetizer was great. The almond margarita was unique, tasty and strong. We also had the roast chicken and pork chop - both were excellent. It seemed a little unusual to have just a piece of chicken on the plate, but the \"sides\" were under the chicken, and on top. The flavor was amazing - the fresh veg made all the difference.\n\nThe service was friendly and attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and ready with recommendations. We happened to go at happy hour, which features an impressive range of options - bonus!\n\nCan't wait to return to St. Francis next time I'm in Phoenix.
