French restaurant with attentive service

🍷 Charming French Bistro Experience Before Theater Night 🎭 My father and I enjoyed a wonderful pre-theater dinner at this lovely French restaurant before attending a show at the Zephyr Theater. We had made a 5:30pm reservation online which I'd highly recommend as the restaurant filled up quickly. 📍 Seating Note: We chose indoor seating but discovered that only outdoor dining has traditional tables - the interior features exclusively high-top bar seating. This would be perfect for couples but for larger groups, I'd definitely suggest opting for outdoor seating. 👨‍🍳 Dining Highlights: The open kitchen concept added to the experience, allowing us to watch the chefs skillfully prepare each dish. The service team was exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout our meal. 🍽️ What We Savored: Seasonal Salad featuring fresh ingredients from Santa Monica Farmer's Market with a bright, zesty dressing Steamed Mussels with Fries - my dad's choice, perfectly cooked with classic French preparation Jidori Chicken - my absolute favorite with crispy skin and rich, flavorful jus Crispy Fried Potatoes - golden exterior with fluffy interior perfection Chocolate Mousse - not overly sweet, beautifully balanced with fresh cream 💡 Perfect For: Pre-theater dinners • Romantic dates • Casual French cuisine • Fresh, quality ingredients #FrenchBistro #SantaMonicaDining #PreTheaterDinner #FarmToTable #ZephyrTheater #FatherDaughterDate
