"Cancel that junket to France and head to Santa Monica because Cézanne offers classic French cuisine with a modern presentation reflecting local Santa Monica markets."
 

Cézanne, Le Merigot's acclaimed restaurant, is a feast for all the senses. With menus inspired by local Farmer's Markets fresh, seasonal ingredients, and with world-class professional table service in the European tradition, Cézanne provides an exceptional dining experience.

Cézanne's decor is bold, dramatic and comfortable. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner is served seven days a week, including a scrumptious Sunday Brunch, both inside and on the adjoining patio.

 
“When everyplace else is jammed” in Santa Monica, this “elegant” “hidden treasure” in the Marriott-owned Le Merigot offers a “quiet” respite over “delicious”, “artistic” Cal-French fare and “wonderful” wines in a “beautiful” setting; panners protest it’s “pretentious” and “pricey”, but more declare it “deserves more action than it gets.” Zagat 2004
