Now open for le weekend brunch! Offering a French neighborhood menu, Café Claude Marina favors traditional bistro-style cooking using locally sourced ingredients to create a casual, but sophisticated selection of regional classics. The restaurant’s beverage program from Wine Director Sarah Knoefler highlights many grape varietals from the Loire Valley, a selection of French-focused aperitif drinks, and international and locally made beers.
Designed to feel as if the restaurant has been nestled in its location for decades, the intimate surroundings of the 50-seat restaurant—designed by Elmer Lin of Consortium and owner Franck LeClerc—evoke old world French glamour and gentlemen’s club-chic. Drenched in vibrant nostalgic flair, the restaurant’s coquettish space proudly boast antiqued tin ceilings, burgundy flocked wallpaper, dark wood wainscoting and shimmering vintage chandeliers sourced from France. The restaurant also includes outdoor café seating and a six-person private “Chef’s Table”, a crescent shaped leather banquette enveloped in damask wallpaper and cloaked from the rest of the restaurant in rich fabrics.
