About:Fringale, which means "the urge to eat," has been a major contributor to San Francisco's South of Market culinary renaissance. From its opening fourteen years ago, it has remained a favorite dining spot for food lovers, socialites, politicians, artists, celebrities, and journalists. The restaurant's sponged eggshell colored walls, blond wooden chairs, sand and earth toned banquettes and wainscoting, and verdigris bartop create a dining environment that is sophisticated, intimate, and inviting. Fringale is a place where guests can drop in for a glass of wine and snack at the bar or enjoy a tantalizing classic French bistro meal prepared by one of the finest kitchens in San Francisco. Come and experience why Fringale has been consistently rated one of the top French restaurants in San Francisco since its opening.

    Great Food, Great Service, OK Atmosphere: The food was tasty French bistro style. The service was spot-on, as well. Although it felt like a neighborhood place -- the host seemed to know half the folks walking through the door -- I thought the atmosphere was a little corporate. Even though it's small and friendly, it doesn't feel as intimate as it could. Wish it had some dark wood and dim lights. We ate via Dine About Town program in SF, so the value was good, as well. Not sure I would add it to my regular rotation unless I lived in the neighborhood...

    Hard to beat: I had one meal here, and while the place is small and the service is not stellar the food is very hard to beat. I'm a fan of exactly this kind of rustic French food -- they get it perfect.
