SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Patisserie Melanie in North Park serves up delicious French dishes, but the restaurant owners have a bitter taste in their mouths because of SDG&E. “Emotionally and physically it was just exhausting,” says co-owner Axel Schwarz. Axel and his wife Melanie signed the building lease in October of 2019, but it needed electrical and gas upgrades. Axel says it took SDG&E 3.5 years for the company to finish the job. “It was just one long nightmare,” says Axel.
