We are having the most gorgeous weather. 80s and sunny, every day. On Tuesday we went in search of outdoor patios for happy hour, and though both Pink Door and the Islander have some prime spots, we decided on Maximilien.

Not only was it a stunning view from the Maximilien deck, our waiter spoke french.

“Vould zhou like to wayt anozer 15 meenuts for ‘appy ow-er? Eet tis no problehm.”

It was like we’d stepped into the french riviera. But with happy hour specials–4$ french martinis, 3$ kronenbourgs, 3$ plate de fromage, 3$ moules mariniere.

The cheese plate was simple, but respectable: mimolette, roquefort, aged goat cheese, marcona almonds and fresh fruit. We also tried the charcuterie, mussels, oysters, a fresh (and warm) baguette and frites. All very solid, very french. I even splurged and bought a non-happy hour glass of wine, a stellar white burgundy.

After a few hours on that deck, a couple of french martinis, some roquefort—all visions of work melted away.

Highly recommended. But get there early. Those view spots fill up fast.
