In ShortPolished wood, shiny tile and cozy, cushioned benches accentuate this eatery's sleek modern interior. The open space maintains a casual aura with diner-style seating and a foyer bar. The menu highlights Gallic fare with Italian influence, utilizing fresh market items in an assortment of seasonal soups and distinctly foreign starters, such as frog legs and escargots. Specialties include light-dough Alsatian pizza , steak au poivre and coq au vin. Homemade pastries and fruit tarts are featured on the dessert menu.

Know Before You GoJazz bands and other live music are frequently featured for free on weekends in the gazebo adjacent to the restaurant's outdoor seating area.

Look GoodAsk before you order if any dessert souffles are available. If so, order early--it could take your entire mealtime to prepare, and staff will likely not suggest it.

Save TimeVisit the Santa Monica sister store of the same name, which serves a lighter, faster selection of French pates and pastries.

Reasonably priced rustic French fare, such as homemade pates, fresh salads and hearty soups, are perfect for lunch or a light meal. Steamed green-lip mussels are best with piquant Provencal sauce and a plate of crispy golden fries. Specials like cassoulet--garlicky sausages and braised duck with tender white beans--is so rich and flavorful it has regulars coming back for more. For dessert, don't miss the chocolate souffle, served piping-hot with a plate of freshly whipped cream.
