| - I like their dark hot chocolate! But just the dark hot chocolate. The rest of items that we tried were just ok. The rest were chicken wings (I forgot the name but it wasn't the one with nuts on it), a shake and the popsicle fondue. I think the chicken wings got honey on top of it so it's sweet......which was not good. I have sweet tooth but I want my savory food not sweet. So it was a bummer. I think the shake is called the 80's shake. It has dark chocolate (menu said milk choco but I asked them to change it to dark), vanilla ice cream and chocolate shell. I though everything is blended in the shake but when it came, it's actually a dark chocolate shake or granita, with a scoop of ice-cream on top, and the chocolate shell is on the ice-cream. So the execution was a bit not what we expected, and not appealing to us. Lastly, the popsicle fondue was way way way too sweet. The popsicle is made of vanilla ice-cream, which is sweet already. Then chocolate for dipping is milk chocolate which was way way way too sweet and passed the point of being yummy....I meant the dip wasn't yummy at all. And there was ground pistachio nuts and wafer balls for dipping to make it even more sweet. Don't get me wrong, I like sweet but only to its optimum level. I think it's a disaster when they make things above the optimum point.
My husband got freaked out by the sweet chicken wings and doesn't want to try other savory items there again. I think we will go back only for the dark hot chocolate. Why? It's not too sweet, but has the real chocolate flavor, and not too bitter or sour. Some dark chocolate is very bitter and sour, but not the case for their hot dark chocolate. I like chocolate not because of its sweetness, but its distinctive aroma. When you make chocolate too sweet, that aroma will be masked and all you are tasting is just sugar, not chocolate.
