| - You'll get the same chocolate and ice cream here as you would at any other Ghirardelli, but most of the time when you come in, you'll have to sacrifice a good bit of your personal space. We managed to find enough space for ten people in the shop and everyone enjoyed what they ordered, especially the younger ones in our group.
We came in on a Tuesday night around 9 PM and there wasn't too much room inside. Even if it was just my wife and I, we would have had a difficult time finding a place to sit. So if you come for some ice cream, don't be surprised if you order and have to finish your dessert elsewhere. After the previous patrons got up, we cleaned the table ourselves and everyone had a seat but we were bumping elbows with the parties next to us and had other customers hovering over our table as they waited to place their order.
We ordered nine items and everything came out in a timely manner. Four of the orders were just single scoops of ice cream with total bill being $70. All of the sundaes are served in plastic cups instead of the customary sundae glasses with long spoons which even though they probably weren't, makes it seem like the portions are smaller. I had the Ocean Beach which was s nice combination of vanilla ice cream, caramel, hot fudge, and sea salt. By the way, if you're with a group and thinking about ordering the The Earthquake, don't do it. We've done it before and it's a sloppy mess and nowhere near worth the $30+ price tag.
There are better places for ice cream in the city but if you're in the LINQ and just can't get up and go elsewhere, Ghirardelli should work as long as you can handle the masses and elevated prices.
