Directly next door to its sister, Shrine World Music Venue, Yatenga French Bistro & Bar offers French cuisine in a delightful shabby chic, world bohemian vibe. With whitewashed brick walls and exposed Edison bulbs, Yatenga's decor sets the tone for a delicious meal, dished up by Chef Gregorio Sanchez. You can't go wrong with the Special Gambas, macaroni and cheese, bechamel sauce, garlic butter topped with large shrimp. Beloved by locals, Yatenga's dynamic staff and friendly patrons will quickly bring newcomers into its fold. Enjoy the brunch scene on the patio on a weekend morning or cozy up inside with a date and a signature cocktail, the LouLou is a favorite. Their long, communal table is ideal for hosting a large group in an intimate environment. Just don't leave before heading next door to enjoy the live music and a nightcap at Shrine before heading home.

I came here for a private event that provided frozen margaritas, wine and shareable apps. The spot has a cozy feel with cool African masks and art hanging on the walls. It seems to be a...
