Read about this sandwich shop in the paper and always wanted to try since it was near my office. Their selling point was that everything was sourced from France with authentic bread and ingredients. I ordered the "Italien" sandwich (ham + pickles) for $45 plus a Leek soup that was the soup of the day ($12).The soup, in particular, is a great for $12 - it was rich and flavorful with lots of puree'd leeks. Lots of vegetables and very little filler. Great texture and flavor without being heavy.

The sandwich was also great. The highlights were the bread, the pickles and the butter. The butter they used were amazingly rich, and the little French pickles added greatly to the sandwich. The bread is more substantial than baguettes you get elsewhere with a crunchy hard crust and a soft chewy center. Some people will find the bread too hard, but I found it to be perfect.
Overall the food was quite good. Definitely worth a try.
