| - Is it okay to write a review even though all I had was dessert? For me, desserts tell a lot about a place. I look at the dessert menu before I even order my meal typically because I want to know what I have to look forward to. I also like to see how creative the chef is and if they have gone the extra mile to hire a pastry chef at some of these establishments. If you put time and money into dessert then you clearly want your patrons to have the full experience and you care about the details. If you slap on the usual (NY Style cheesecake, molten lava cake, carrot cake, brownie with ice cream, etc) then I have to question your loyalty to your customers.
All of that to say, I was excited to see some creative options when I was handed the dessert menu at TPR this past Friday. My eyes immediately went to "The Elvis." It was described as a chocolate chip bread with peanut butter ice cream, whipped cream, etc. I was so excited but once it came out and I took my first bite, I was so distraught. The bread was so dry! What was it? Ezekiel bread with some chocolate chips smashed in? The ice cream layer was so thin that you couldn't even take your spoon to get scoop. it just melted into the hard, dry bread and it wasn't even making the bread soggy if that tells you anything. How could this be? How could something that sounded so good, be so awful? I have to say, this was probably one of the worst dessert experiences I have ever had.
Good thing they have a fabulous rooftop and are in such a great location.
