Since the first day this place opened, this restaurant has been packed with people. On Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, we took a risk and attempted to walk-in for dinner. It's a bit deceiving when you walk by cause once you walk in through the front door, is the bar - and it was packed with Lakers/Nuggets fans! Surprisingly when we told the hostess "party of 4" she welcomely said "follow me". She took us to the back of the restaurant which we were amazed how big this place really was (there's also an outside terrace/patio that extends all the way out). needless to say, food was amazing (i mean, what more can you expect when it's the same owners as mamacita???)

Bruschetta - not your typical bruschetta but so delish! i've never had burrata cheese before, but i think i am in love with you!
Sweet Potato Fries - better than Pacific Catch (sorry PC)
Tipsy Sliders - i was expecting pulled pork with loads of sauce. not so. dont be fooled by the appearance of dry pulled pork cause these suckers will surprise you! damn good....
Pork Chop - a bit on the salty side but they sure do know how to cook these bad boys - perfectly tendor and moist.
Hamburger - you can tell that it's fresh ground chuck!!! didn't try it but K was raving how it was the tastiest burger he has ever had...

for those who do not live in the marina, this is truly a hidden gem. Ironically, our friends have lived on Baker and Filbert for almost 5 years and we've walked by this restaurant everytime we see them (at least once a week). Not till they moved out we finally tried this place and i can't believe it has taken us this long to eat here.

this is a family owned french restaurant.

roy got the prix fixe menu which includes:
Soup du jour (carrot ginger)
Entree of the day (grilled flank steak in challot sauce over mashed potatoes)
Salad
Dessert (homemade bread pudding)
prix fixe is served all nite monday - thursday and Friday and Saturday till 7pm for only a whopping $16.95!

I ordered off their menu - Mussels a la Provencale with pomme frites. the Mussels were fresh (the owner even showed me how to eat mussels the french way) and the fries were divine with the white wine/garlic sauce! after i ate all the mussels, i (accidentally) dropped all my fries in the sauce (that's how the french does it!!!)
