MB WEEKLY – RESTAURANT REVIEW:
by Darby Winston
Fête Bistro By Slay
I recently had the pleasure of trying the new brunch at Fête Bistro in Manhattan Beach, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The highlight was the French omelette, filled with French ham, creamy goat cheese, and fresh spinach. Each bite was a delightful combination of flavors, and the accompanying salad was equally impressive – fresh, perfectly dressed, and a great complement to the omelette. The charming general manager, Marilyn, made the experience even more enjoyable with her warm hospitality. Adding to the beautiful ambiance was the live music, which enlivened the spirit of the morning brunch and created a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. Fete Bistro’s new brunch is a definite winner. It has delicious food, good service, and a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere. I’ll certainly be returning to savor more of their delightful offerings. Highly recommended.
Food: A+ • Service: A • Atmosphere: A

MB – BULLETIN BOARD:
1. ** What is the best time to work out? Anytime you feel works for you. I go to Gold’s Venice 4 days a week. I am there by 5:30 and love the vibe and people who become friends. Good to see Arnold and talk to him once in a while. A lovely person. —- Ed M., Manhattan Beach
2. ** Marilyn, the general manager at Fete restaurant, is terrific. —- Ginger G., Manhattan Beach
3. ** Honest to God, I would give anything to throw a pie in the face of parents who allow their children in restaurants to scream like unruly brats! —- Clark G., Manhattan Beach
4. ** I love Uncle Bill’s Pancake House! —- Jose R., El Segundo
5. ** Dinner at Boa in Manhattan Beach was so loud I couldn’t hear my waitress. It was so dark that I felt like I needed several flashlights. It was so expensive that I thought I needed a second mortgage. —- Gwen L., Manhattan Beach
6. ** Oh, Jesus…here we go. The Census Bureau will soon ask about sexual and gender identity. What if I identify as a kangaroo? —- Lily C., Manhattan Beach
7. ** Family and friends bid farewell to Bill Brand, late Redondo Beach mayor and environmental activist. Brand’s widow, Dierdre Brand, at midday, in the middle of a circle of surfboards, delivered his ashes to the depths of the ocean he loved and fought to protect. —- Editor’s Note
8. ** Public Works received reports of racist graffiti on Peck Avenue over pollywog park. My advice is not to post a photo of this because morons who did it desire this. This vandalism has been reported to Manhattan Beach Public Works, but since it’s on school property, they may be unable to help. —- Liam T., Manhattan Beach
9. ** BeachLife organizers announced they will issue refunds to some ticket holders after high winds caused the cancellation of performances by some top acts on Sunday, May 5, of the three-day music festival in Redondo Beach. Many musical acts performed on Sunday, with Z.Z. Top ending its set a few songs early as winds up to nearly 45 mph sent the performers’ legendary beards sideways. However, Sunday ticket holders missed key scheduled sets after 5 p.m. by Fleet Foxes, Trey Anastasio, Classic Tab, and headliner My Morning Jacket. —- Editor’s Note
10. ** For the comfort of all, please equip your children with headphones while they enjoy screens in the restaurant or salon. We don’t want to hear that noise pollution. Also, good manners wouldn’t hurt. —- Lydia G., Manhattan Beach
11. ** It’s hard to pause in our furiously busy, full-throttle lives. But, alas, sometimes we need to slow down to speed up. —- Jason B., Manhattan Beach
12. ** The state’s budget shortfall is larger than first projected. California faces the consequences of the Golden State exodus. Big surprise? Thanks, Democrats. —- Megan W., Manhattan Beach
13. ** I applied for this position, and I was fortunate enough to be hired! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lTo68HOaaY —- Joyce A., Manhattan Beach
14. ** Shouldn’t hiring be on merit, not a diversity quota. —- Loni P., Manhattan Beach
15. ** At 8:30 am recently on 2nd Street in East Manhattan, I witnessed a body on the ground next to a bike, surrounded by seven police cars and paramedics loading him onto a stretcher. Is he okay? I couldn’t tell if it was a youngster or an older man riding to school, just seeing his legs. Thoughts for his safety, these e-bikes on the street are terrifying. —- Cameron B., Manhattan Beach
16. ** You can’t make this stuff up! Decades ago, BCHD was created to save the South Bay Hospital, but they have not done so. Using our tax money, they morphed into a property management company. Now, they want us to assume $30M bond debt so they can tear down the hospital buildings. UNBELIEVABLE! —- George R., Manhattan Beach
17. ** The purpose of college is to learn about the world, then work, not to blow up the world. —- Don M., Manhattan Beach
18. ** Please watch out for these males who steal cash drawers, cigarettes, and blunt wraps from 7-Elevens. Today at 2:50 AM, they struck my 7-Eleven. The automobiles are a silver Kia Optima with registration plate 8EMF073 and a new black Honda Civic. —- Edgar W., Hermosa Beach
19. ** L.A. sewer bills would increase 22% this year under new proposal. Los Angeles residents and business owners could see their sewer bills more than double over four years if the City Council adopts a series of proposed rate increases. —- Editor’s Note
20. ** A coyote attacked my cat. I can’t find my cat, who seems to have fled. —- Howard S., Manhattan Beach
