Came here on a Thursday night at 2140 hours, and we didn't make a reservation. I've been here a few times and I must caution everyone to make a reservation if you are coming here on a weekend night. This place was quite full for a Thursday night.
We ordered the chocolate tart and Purple, which didn't arrive and we were getting rather impatient. We checked and our waitstaff didn't log the choco tart in, causing the 40 minute delay in getting our desserts. Never mind that.
Purple came, and oh boy, was it beautiful, AND delish. Googled the components because I forgot what was inside - purple potato, cassis parfait, lavender and marshmallow. Please order this. I was in the mood for something fruity, but I wasn't prepared for the explosion of purple and flavor. Yum! It looks very little for the price, but I assure you it's well worth it. Texture, flavor, contrast, complement. This dessert ticks off everything.
Our choco tart was cancelled because we couldn't wait any longer, so we ordered a portion of 3 sorbets/ice-creams. We had - Valrhona choco, yuzu, and blood orange. Perfect combination, start with yuzu, move on to blood orange, then choco, and end with yuzu. Very refreshing. I would say this is the best yuzu sorbet I've ever had in my short life.
The service here is iffy, and they probably need to hire more waitstaff, because I saw some of the assistant pastry chefs and the owner herself waiting on tables. Service time was unacceptable, but oh my, worth the wait (if you have the time and don't have to work tomorrow). Again, I cannot stress the importance of reservations here.
Enjoy!
