    This place is an experience. There's no other restaurant like it in the area. It's magical. The decor is gorgeous. The food is fantastic. It is expensive but the ingredients are all top notch and make the price worth it. This is not just a bakery. The lunch and dinner menu items are delicious. I loved everything about this special place. You should get reservations particularly if you want to go on the weekend. We had the Kir Royal champagne cocktail, truffle pomme frites, lemon piccata, chicken velvet soupe and blackberry avocado salade. Hot chocolate. Earl and millionaire cake. Raspberry champagne macaron. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend.

    Our meals we ordered were less than desirable and not worth the wait. We were all quite disappointed in our portion sizes for the price. The best part of the meal was the appetizer. We will not return for the food. We will however rerunt for desserts. The cake was AMAZING!!! No disappointments and we went home with extra pieces, cookies, and a lemon bar.

    The drinks and service were great! I was very disappointed with the cakes. I expected so much more. I had one bite of mine and my husband’s cake and we sent them back. The cakes were terrible and dry. Very little flavor.
