Frommer's Review

Francois came on the scene about 7 years ago and it has never looked back. It's tucked into an elegant colonial cottage near the Beehive, where the French owner and his French chef turn out signature dishes like duck confit, snails, pickled ox tongue, and Provençal-style seafood casseroles. The interior is smart and simple. Recommendations come thick and fast for this place, so even if you're not staying in the area, give it a try.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
