Andre's Confiserie Suisse

When I told him that dining had been shoved to the small space in front of the chocolate counters he was dismayed and flabbergasted. The tearoom had been a very unique and special part of this city for st least the last fifty years. What a boneheaded business decision, in my opinion, and a colossal disappointment. Speaking as a lawyer and businessperson, I’ll bet the family owns that property outright. To make the decision to close down the tea room to increase room for chocolate production was just a greed play. It has tarnished my view of Andres. But, then again, I’m sure lots of people across the country can now order their chocolates, so $$$.

It would have been so simple to find another location for the chocolate production. I feel sorry for the original owners, who are probably deceased by now, for what has happened to what they built, So sad.

I wanted to come here after being in Switzerland, and my expectations were high. I would say everything I had was five stars. The service was outstanding.

The only criticism I have is- much of the food I had in Switzerland wasn’t on the menu here, such as fondue, raclette, alpermagronen, rosti, bratwurst, etc. And there may be valid reasons they don’t serve those dishes, but I would love to be able to find them here in the U.S. My suggestion would be to offer more authentic Swiss dishes, but either way, I’ll definitely be back here when I’m lonesome for Switzerland!
