I don't quite know how to say this, but how about this, "Woohoo!"
Both dinner in the Payard dining room and breakfast at the bakery were FANTASTIC!
I have never been to Paris (well, we did walk through the casino and lobby of Paris Las Vegas)... but now I think I know what it is like to eat in a real Parisian bistro and sidewalk cafe.
Dinner was a particular pleasure. Really nice menu options, great waitstaff... and that open kitchen in the middle of the dinning room is awesome. Hearing and smelling our dinner cooking was a real experience and a real pleasure. Everything we ate was a real pleasure too!
