The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $15,000 by August 9.
First, chef-owner Aaron Chamberlin opened St. Francis with a sleek, minimalist look. Now he’s welcomed two local artists to fill up an entire wall of the restaurant with their edgy work.

Their mural, located in the upstairs dining room, was unveiled at a cocktail reception last weekend.
From what I’ve seen of Ruiz and DOSE’s previous work, this thing is absolutely worth a special visit to St. Francis, just for fun.
If I were you, I’d get some fig and blue cheese flatbread while I’m at it.
