Romantic French Dining Next to Santa Monica 💗

Muse Santa Monica 📍 108 W Channel Rd, Santa Monica, CA 90402 🅿️ Valet available | 💰 $200+ per person Came mainly for their gorgeous desserts, but was a little disappointed — they were quite sweet. Overall impression: decent flavors, but presentation > taste. Service, however, was exceptionally warm — every server was super friendly and checked in after each course 🥹 (Hard to give honest feedback when they’re so nice 😂) The space is intimate, decorated in elegant French style — perfect for dates or small gatherings. 🍷 Riesling — a sweet, easy-drinking wine, safe choice. 🥖 Brioche — best bite of the night! Warm, crispy, delicious even without butter. 🥗 Second Course — Truffle risotto (recommended! aromatic and layered) and pasta (too salty, skip it). 🍽️ Third Course — Lamb — tender and well-cooked, French lamb chops never disappoint. Side of potato mille-feuille was unique and tasty! 🍰 Dessert — Tiramisu + a pretty-looking option (both overly sweet — tasted just like an original flavor Alpenliebe lollipop 🍭). #LAFood #LADining #SantaMonicaEats #LATravel #FrenchCuisine #VibesDining #HiddenGem 🥂
