Really delicious gourmet menu. Had the Risotto balls in tomato sauce as an appetizer with the rainbow trout dinner entree. Yummy but I can't say the price is worth it. This would be a 5 star rating if the portion sizes matched the expectation on my wallet.
Full disclosure, this is more of a placeholder rating than a sincere review. We went there after having a late dinner. The dessert was so good but so rich, so I don't feel like I can comment too harshly or positively on it. From the amount I could eat, I really enjoyed it. The dark hot chocolate was super rich and tasty. The chocolate chip pan cookies was also good. But again, i could only have about half of them.
Food was absolutely fantastic...the atmosphere was superb; dimly lit, loved the music, and wonderfully decorated with a tasteful and unique combination of eclectic and contemporary Americana...can't speak highly enough about the food! Even if you just go there for the dessert...just check it out. Rarely are sweets the only reason I would go to a restaurant...this is one of those exceptions.
Came here with the expectation of it just being a dessert spot. It has a full menu as well has great desserts. The restaurant has a great atmosphere if a bit dark. The view of the open kitchen is nice with one side of the smaller restaurant being just the bar.
By far one of the best hot chocolates I've had, very rich and creamy. If you come in to get just desserts each guest needs to spend at least $15. That will be no problem if everyone orders a dessert for themselves and a drink or hot cocoa.
As you can tell by the name, this place is known for their hot chocolate and I must admit, it was the best hot chocolate that I have ever had. Wow I cannot describe how good it was and this place was definitely worth the visit. The dessert was also spectacular though everything else on the menu was pretty expensive. Nothing on the dinner menu stood out to me and for such high prices, it was simply not worth it. Service was alright, nothing too amazing.
