Wow....it takes a lot to impress me AND give a place 5 stars. Petit does both.
So during the holidays I was roaming around doing the holiday thing and it was around lunch time and I happened to be near Petit Philippe so I decided to check them out.
The place is an open space with tall ceilings and clean lines. There is a small vault of wines as well as multiple shelves lining the wall with wines of all makes and models *grin*.
The counter is pretty much reserved for the chocolates and are presented in the most inviting manner.
I discussed wines and selected a glass to try along with a few chocolates. The wine was $8 and chocolates were $1 each.
The staff was very engaging and answered all my questions. They engaged in some great conversation making my experience here something of a treat.
A steady flow of traffic came in and out and I sat in some comfortable chairs to the side and enjoyed my wine, chocolates and people watch.
