Today I tried the newly opened Patisserie in the Marriott shopping center on 46A. It used to be an ice cream place. I had a tuna salad on a baguette for $5.60 (the only lunch option). The baguette was good (not terribly crusty though). The tuna was good (not fishy or over mayoed). It had a little lettuce and tomato on it. Not much more to say about this place. The "patisserie" selection was small (some muffins, cookies, and tart-like things). It has about 5 tables. It was clean. The staff was nice (but of that cloying "we just opened and are too eager too please" variety). There were 6 other people in there.
I would only suggest that they widen the variety (the quality of the pastry also appeared to be more toward German standards than French) and down play their affiliation with Shan. First of all nothing says bad pastry like Asia. Secondly, Shan has low quality food at high quality prices. They probably need more signage too.
