I think they're relatively new to the city. I've seen them giving out samples at a couple of "luxury expo" type events over the last couple years as they try to build brand recognition among folks who can afford their wares.
Their store is on the UES (naturally):

And how do they compare to La Maison du Chocolat and Jacques Torres? Those are my 2 favorites for chocolate: intense, authentic flavors and top-quality.
I appreciate good chocolate, but am not really a connoisseur, so I don't know that I can compare. But I believe your description (intense, authentic flavors and top-quality) would apply to these as well.
You'll just have to try 'em!
