| - i work very close to maman and some of my coworkers talked about how pretty this place is, so i looked it up on yelp and it had decent reviews so i decided to check it out.
as they said, the place is gorgeous! both the inside and their patio! really enjoyed sitting on the patio with the green view (rare in the financial district) and great music.
however, the food didn't live up to its beautiful ambiance. their unsweetened iced tea was good, but nothing great. their pistachio loaf was not too bad, i liked the pistachio bits in it but i wouldn't get it again as it was way too greasy, sweet, and heavy for my taste. i couldn't finish it cuz it was just too heavy... and it was 3:30 pm and I hadn't had anything all day before that! i was super hungry and could have eaten so much more! the croissant was too oily as well.
i felt pretty gross after. to be honest, i was a little bit disappointed; seemed like they focused so hard on the presentation that they neglected the most important part - the food. i dunno, maybe i just got the wrong stuff. regardless, if it wasn't for the decor, i would have given it 2 stars.
