    I have eaten there twice recently and it was very good. Not crowded. They take reservations. The food is very good. I would have one constructive criticism for the restaurant. The bread for the grilled cheese and the bread for the avocado toast while delicious is way too rock hard. I could not cut the avocado toast and taking a bite it literally hurt my teeth. You need do you softer bread for the grilled cheese and the avocado toast and probably anything else that’s used in a dish like that. Other than that it was great

    The restaurant was not crowded at all, and that surprised me. But the food and the service were good. The menu is limited. I wanted to substitute fresh fruit instead of a green salad with my omelet and they were not able to accommodate that request. You do have to appreciate a small kitchen that chooses to so what they do well instead of offering a bunch of substitutions. Bar Frances is a really neat place on Freret!
