About Restaurant François

FrenchSpecial occasion

Restaurant François brings classical French technique into a contemporary American frame, with an elegant interior, open exhibition kitchen, and an adjoining cocktail lounge. Expect tableside house-made pasta with French-style sauces, composed classics like Maine Lobster Thermidor and Boneless Wagyu Short Ribs Bourguignon, plus dry-aged prime steaks and a curated French-forward wine list. Reservations recommended for this late-November Downtown opening.

What to Order

Tableside House-Made Pasta

Fresh pasta tossed tableside with French-style sauces—think silky beurre blanc, rich truffle ragù, or lemon-kissed cream for a dramatic, tactile moment.

Maine Lobster Thermidor

Lobster crowned in a creamy, mustard-tinged gratin—decadent, perfectly caramelized, and beach-to-table luxurious.

Boneless Wagyu Short Ribs Bourguignon

Depthy, slow-braised Wagyu short ribs in a classic burgundy reduction—velvety, unctuous, and full-flavored comfort elevated to fine dining.
