Editorial Review for Le Happy – by Franny French

In Short
Deep reds, minimal lighting, wood tabletops and glamorous drapes define the simple rectangular space. Surprising touches--a tiny kitchen with a chandelier and broken eyeglasses mounted like butterflies--add a kitsch elegance. Patrons dine on crepe variations, including the Faux Vegan, creme fraiche and spinach complemented by a crimini mushroom sauce. Le Trash Blanc combines buckwheat with bacon and cheddar. For dessert, the sweet, white-flour crepes with marionberry preserve and fresh whipped cream is a must.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Came in a a cold weeknight with some friends who had been before. Just wanted some cocktails and dessert crepes. It certainly owned up! I can't remember the name of my cocktail (they need to post their cocktail menu on their website) but I know it had Chambord and 2 other liquors in it... delicious. And I was craving un Chocolat Banane crepe and it did the trick (but now that I'm writing about it I need another)! Also enjoyed their game selection and we noticed after a while that everyone else in there was also playing a game - what fun! The atmosphere at le happy is cozy and warm (love the red walls and burst of flowers over the bar) and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Pros: cocktails, um - crepes!, games/atmosphere

My family and I had been recommended to dine at Le Happy. When we entered the restaurant to dine the music they were playing was Grunge at full throttle level. We had looked forward to a good meal but we could not hear each other talk. When I asked the waitress how the music choice was made she stated it was their choice. I asked her if she would turn it down a little and she agreed that she would. It took a while for her to turn it down. By that time my family and I were doing pretty well by communicating with sign language. Eventually she turned it down to a dull roar. We thought maybe we would sit outside but it was cold and the freeway traffic echoed quite loudly so, we decided to try another place. Le Happy's attitude seemed very similar to "The Stepping Stone Cafe's" moto "You Eat Here Because We Let You." I choose not to.
