You can tell that the Chocolaterian is new and that the owners are truly passionate about what they do. We went for dessert and had an apple cranberry gallette and the caramel cashew chocolate torte. Both were good, but the torte could have benefitted from being a bit colder to give it a slightly more solid texture. We each had a glass of wine with dessert. Although I felt the selection of wine varietals was perfect for pairing with dessert, the prices seemed a bit high per glass.
This place has potential for incredible ambience. The original wood cabinets and fall decorations highlighted the Chocolaterian's merchandise beautifully. However, the dessert cases were quite bare (possibly because we went late at night), and the selection slimmer than what I expected. The overhead flourescent lights were too much. Some lamps or fixtures would do wonders for this place. I also think it would be cool if the Chocolaterian had books or magazines available for its patrons. This would encourage people to stay longer and likely buy more items and would contribute to the overall atmosphere.
