| - FIRST AND FOREMOST....... THIS PLACE IS NOT CLOSED. PLEASE FIX THIS !!!!!!!
How is it with this wonderful patisserie that I have now, for the SECOND time, been unable to try their most delectable baked works of art? We actually stayed in the Aria Hotel this time, Jean-Phillippe was right there, but once again, I didn't get to try anything...... well, I should explain. I didn't get to try the FANCY pastries..... but I did, at least, get to try their croissant-like items. I wanted to try their macarons, the gorgeous, decadent pastries, but time was not on my side, and neither was my stomach. I was battling some type of stomach flu thing, and eating these rich desserts would have been stupid. Also, I didn't have an Igloo or other device to ship any home for a later time, so there they sat in their display cases with me taking pictures..... that's as close as I got. I ended up buying a blueberry muffin, lemon cranberry, and a chocolate croissant. They were tasty, but they were also several days old by the time I tried them..... sooooooo, a little stale. My fault for waiting, certainly not Jean Phillippe's.
My daughters both purchased some of his chocolates and raved about them. Macarons, too. Nobody ended up buying or trying any of the fancy pastries, though. Okay, so what this tells me is that we need to return, and maybe the "three's a charm" will make it happen.
A couple of new things I noticed is that they now offer gelato.... and...... when we stopped by, they were making breakfast for people, plus they have sandwiches at lunch, too. Not sure if this was always the case or if they had implemented these items since 2012, the other time I had visited.
