After spending a week in French wine country, we were craving a hearty meal (instead of our usual…read morebread, oysters, and cheese feast). We wandered by West Coast, and saw that it was packed with a bunch of local twentysomethings. It was loud and bustling, so we decided to grab a bite.
The tables are super crammed together, as they are in most restaurants in France. It's weird for Americans, so prepare to get cozy with others. This is definitely a local place.
The decor is simple but fun, it reminded me of a casual beach shack at a Southern California beach. There's a surfing theme, which was a nice little reminder of home.
The menu features gourmet cheeseburgers and fries. They're "French-ified," which is so cool! No boring ingredients, only the finest chef-driven and inspired burgers. My burger, for example, had fresh pesto and brie cheese. The beef was extremely high quality and perfectly prepared, and the bun tasted freshly baked. The fries were fantastic, those double-battered and double-fried true "French fries."
The prices are a little high, and the dining room crowded, but this is a fantastic place to get a tasty cheeseburger if you're fatigued of traditional French cuisine.
