"We purchased pastries from the bakery and also ate in the restaurant. The pastries were delicious with the exception of the macrons. They were too sweet and weren 't nearly as good as you would get in Paris. We bought 10 and didn 't eat all of them and we love macrons. The restaurant was a lovely experience. The staff were relaxed and friendly, totally giving a sense of 'settle in and enjoy yourself '. The beet/pear salad (which was new to the menu) was a huge hit. I can 't tell you the last time I had a salad that I raved about. We had the carpaccio as an appetizer, which was quite nice. My husband had the flatiron steak. He really enjoyed it. I ordered the rack of lamb, which was quite good. Both plates had very generous servings. We didn 't have desert. When in San Diego, we will definitely be back."
