      <content>I get my hair cut across the street and love to go there for lunch.  The food is really good if a little pricy.  Their fines herb vinigarette is stellar.  The service is stellar.  I would say that while it may not be the best it is certainly worth a trip.</content>

      <content>I would just go to the cafe in the front of the store.  If the tables are crowded you can always sit at the bar (actually get better service there and it's less crowded).

      <content>Note they have completely different menus at the front cafe and at the bar.  The bar has the restaurant menus, with apps, entrees, etc.  The cafe has the full dessert menu but sandwiches are the only savory options offerred (they wouldnt serve me soup at the cafe).
 
Anyway in the cafe the hot chocolate is yummy, the desserts range from pretty good to great, and the sandwiches are a little heavy but enjoyable.</content>

      <content>make sure you add 1-2 macaroons--my favorites are the chocolate and the coffee. Have these after your dessert for overkill.</content>

      <content>The Louvre, the Opera Cake, the eclairs, the napoleons, the macaroons...they're all good.  Somebody just brought me some of their chocolates (had never tried them) and they were great as well.
 
If you're going with somebody, get a few treats and share.  </content>
