| - I have friends from Youngstown and Columbus who have, separately, specifically request this place for dinner when they come to visit. I don't know why or how they've heard of it - I really don't think it's anything special, especially when it's so close to East 4th Street, and all the great places there.
That being said, The Chocolate Bar isn't TERRIBLE, it's just kind of... meh. the service isn't great, the food is nonmemorable at best, and the desserts and drinks are overpriced.
I've been there for lunch at least 8 times (never by choice - usually for a "special" birthday lunch for a co-worker or something) and I literally cannot recommend a single item that I've ordered.
Servers and hosts/hostesses are typically rude, or at least, inattentive. The last time I was there, I asked for a refill on my iced tea several times, with our server always promising to bring it right away, and then, before we knew it, she just brought the check, no refill. Annoying.
In the spirit of fairness, I can see that the desserts look good, though I have never ordered one, which I guess deserves an extra star rating.
