Why go

Francie serves New American cooking with French and Italian inflections. The duck is the draw, but the kitchen moves with precision across pastas, foie gras, and market vegetables. The room is compact with direct sightlines to the kitchen, moderate music, attentive staff. Portions read small but sustain. It's a place built for lingering.
