| - The Skinny: okay pastries and tuna salad, decent croque monsieur (3.5), service: it's counter service, not sit down service (3), value: okay, not great for the sammy and salad combo... however the croque was very reasonable!(3).
We came here because when I want carbs to pad the cushion, there's only few things that make it worth while... one of them is definitely French pastries.
It was a nice rainy day in Vegas so I ordered a croque monsieur - a warm ham and cheese sammy which was decently gooey with some bechamel sauciness. Although the sammy needed a little more bechamel, it was quite satisfying with a slight crispy texture on the outside.
Unfortunately, my hubby ordered the tuna salad on a baguette which was okay. The baguette wasn't quite like the baguettes you find in Paris. The crust wasn't quite crunchy enough for me. Not being a fan of capers, it's addtion to the filling was a little disappointing but this is a personal taste issue. The sandwich is still better than anything you'd get at a large chain store and the ingredients are fresh.The accompanying salad was a little heavy handed on the so-so dressing.
The almond croissant was a little disappointing. Almond croissants are hard to make - any sort of filling inside the croissant can flatten out those lovely butter flaky layers, causing the texture to become a bit soggy. This was the problem that we ran into here.
I was looking forward to their crepes but was quite full after my croque so couldn't give 'em a taste. Overall, a 3 starred review.
