| - The first time I went here 3 years ago, I thought I was in love. But since then I have experienced the chocolate bar multiple times and it has never really lived up to my standards. Don't get me wrong, I can't complain about an all chocolate menu TOO much but I really expect more from a place with such big claims.
First off, the dessert. It's good, but not great. After the first bite you realize that its similar to something you could have gotten at a nice grocery store bakery instead of an establishment defined by the dessert. You can tell they are plated right out of the fridge/freezer and seem like they are made from a very generic, processed chocolate base.
I also attempted The Chocolate Bar for brunch and was not pleased. First off, there weren't a lot of chocolate or sweet options, which was my intention for going there. I decided on the biscuits and gravy and they were oily and not very flavorful. As someone who loves brunch, I was disappointed.
Most recently I went to The Chocolate Bar for cocktails for the first time. I was really excited to try the multiple chocolate martinis but was not a fan at all. Really, the drink had the ability to ruin chocolate for the night for me. At first it made me want to order a piece of cake but a few sips in I realized I was just sipping on a confusing mix of sugar that tasted nothing like what I had ordered. (I tried both the S'mores and Nutella).
Overall, the chocolate bar is an experience, but one that I would only want to have once.
