| - Literally, the last thing we ate in Cleveland before heading out to scary scary New York City. o___O
Went here for dessert with fiance and a friend. I have been dying to try this place since I heard about the unique concept behind this restaurant. Sadly, didn't make it to happy hour, but did try 3 desserts + cappuccino + latte here (total of around $50):
1) Grand Marnier Souffle
2) Lavender bread pudding
3) Banana foster
I loved the experience. It is such a quaint place; you feel transported out of Cleveland for the while that you are there. The waiters, host, everyone there is so humble, polite, and this makes the ambiance just so so amazing.
Wish I had tried the food as well; the plates that I saw other people sure did look appetizing, but we were full from pho. The desserts themselves are great in concept, but I'm not the greatest fan. The grand marnier souffle is bubbly, soft, reminds me of a Chinese sponge cake, very light in flavor. We all loved the ice cream that came on top of it, very very fresh. The lavender bread pudding was my least favorite - just didn't quite mesh as well. The banana foster performance was very fun to watch; we watched it twice since the table next to us also ordered it. However, we didn't get the orange/lemon zest that the table next to us did (also 1 less scoop of ice cream!). I think our chef was just starting, whereas their chef was more experienced since we did see someone instructing our chef on what to do. Nonetheless, fun experience to top off a great 6 years in Cleveland. I will miss you!
