Probably because the cream was heated too high, like boiling point, which is when it will split.

Thanks TheWinner. I think you are correct.
Better to use creme fraiche which never splits. By the way it's moules a la mariniere.

I have never had Miules Mariniere with cream.
^Moules^
Traditionally it's not made with cream.

What you're eating is mussels in a creamy white wine sauce.
Meunier and its other forms mean miller.Danny's link doesn't work but it's a mistake on the part of the restaurant.
Moules marinière can be made cream which, to stop it splitting, the cream is quickly stirred in after the cooked ingredients have been removed from the heat. :-
