One of my friends and I had perused the online menu the day before and were excitedly discussing what we were going to order on the way to the restaurant. The Yelp reviews and pictures had us very excited to try this restaurant.\nOur party of 3 visited on a rainy, Friday evening. We had to wait about 20 minutes past our reservation time, but it wasn't a big deal since we were enjoying the ambiance & conversation in the little foyer.\nUpon being seated our waiter, whose name I fail to recall, approached our table with an undeniable energy all his own!!\nOne of us ordered wine, one ordered a pineapple mojito and I ordered a Red Apple Sangria. My friend was very disappointed in her mojito, saying it tasted nothing like pineapple. My Red Apple Sangria was ok. No real kick or distinguishing factors. \nWe ordered the Goat Cheese Appetizer, which I thought was delicious, but my 2 friends were not overly impressed.\nWhen our server appeared to take our dinner order, I excitedly ordered the pumpkin soup and roasted vegetables that I had seen on the online menu the previous day. I was apologetically told that the menu had changed on Tuesday and my request was no longer available. I was deeply saddened by this news as I am on Weight Watchers and had planned my day around this particular meal. I then decided to try the Endless Rice Bowl with Chicken. I thought it was declicous! I loved the variety of vegetables and the chicken was cooked perfectly; however, you can put anything in coconut milk, and I will love it! It was undoubtedly higher in fat & calories than what I had anticipated, but it was worth it.\nOne of my friends requested the seafood cioppino, which had also been removed from the menu earlier in the week. She then requested some steak dish, which she found to be too small of a portion and not very tasty.\nAfter dinner, we decided to split a dessert amongst the 3 of us. We looked at the menu to make certain our choice from the online matched what was on the actual menu. It wasn't. We then decided on the carrot cake cheesecake. Our server returned about 4 minutes after we placed our order to tell us they were out of our requested dessert, but he would buy the bread pudding for our table.\nOur dessert arrived hot with a nice presentation, but was not impressive as far as taste went.\nSo- St. Francis in and of itself is a very attractive little place, with a very ecclectic decor and feel about it; however, it is not a place I willl visit again, as the only thing impressive about it was the outstanding server- Sean?
