    Had a reservation at 7pm that I booked the day of with my girlfriend. We arrived at 645 and a sweet young hostess had our table ready and sat us immediately. Upon walking in, we both noticed how inviting and vibrant the energy in the room was, the atmosphere here on a Saturday night is awesome. I ordered the baguette immediately just to get something on the table. It was soo freshly baked it was unbelievable. Our server Tess suggested some of the wines from the Slay vineyard so I had a pilot noir and my girlfriend a vermentino. She loved the vermentino and went on a google rabbit hole to research this grape varietal which was new to us. I got a steak cooked medium rare it was excellent she had the mussels to complement her wine choice and was very happy. Dessert was a chocolate flour less cake (gluten free). It was a damn good way to finish the meal and went well with my pinot. All in all atmosphere was cozy and alive feeling, food was really good, our server Tess was very friendly and her suggestions were greatly appreciated. Fete is a must try if in Manhattan Beach looking for a new experience. Nice job Fete!

    Food, service and concept are outstanding. The food is refined and flavorful, and the selection is just right. Same goes for the drinks: not extensive but top notch quality and just the right sorts. The concept is beautiful, tasteful, really nice and with subdued elegance, without being pretentious. Loved the covered patio where we ate, though it was pretty loud in spite of the tables not being crowded. Parking was easy. The outside patio is under renovation (in December), cannot wait to enjoy it when it gets warmer and when it will be ready.
