| - Prologue:
After having been somewhat disappointed with our decision to dine out for Thai cuisine on Christmas Eve, we decided to stick to something a bit more traditional for dessert.
The Plot:
We shared a piece of Chocolate Caramel Delight pie, a piece of Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme pie, and a cup of hot cocoa.
The Scene:
The portion sizes were good and just enough for the two of us.
My girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed the Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme pie and I also agreed that it was the better of the two flavors we ordered. In fact, she enjoyed it so much that she purchased a gift card, which came with a $5 coupon, so she could order more pie to take home.
The hot cocoa was rich, not too sweet, and complemented the pie nicely.
The Rest of the Story:
This franchise is well known for doing a high volume pie business and they excel primarily in the area of variety. In order to offer their product at a reasonable price, their pies are apparently mass produced off site. Although the quality of the pie was good, I cannot confidently say that it is well above what can be found at other similar franchises, especially when it comes to the crust. Neither of the two pieces of pie we were served looked much like what was depicted in the menu, which is usual and quite understandable. Never the less, I was still expecting a larger portion from a restaurant that specializes in pie, especially on a major holiday.
Epilogue:
The service was prompt and courteous and the prices were reasonable.
My girlfriend was happy with the way we concluded our evening and that was good enough to make me happy and satisfied.
