| - Bonjour! Having left Paris only 4 days ago, I was on a hunt for a lovely, delicate macaron. Didn't find any here. Their macarons are mishmashed together and piled high (which should have been the first clue), but I optimistically anticipated that what was lacking in beauty would be made up for in flavor. Didn't happen. *Sigh* These were heavy, doughy cookie sandwiches with creme middles that were too sugary and very sadly flavored. A chewy disappointing lesson learned at $1.10 each. Even if I had no knowledge of what a true macaron should look and taste like, their version would still not pass for a Parisien delicacy. Fortunately, service was pleasant, the decor a bit eclectic (which I like), and the bistro had some nice lunch offerings. The French onion soup was okay--served steaming hot, with a stringy gruyere cheese topping, sweet caramelized onions and came with generous slices of baguette. Take note, this location will be closed for summer vacation June 30 to July 15.
