| - Cute place! I can't believe it's taken me so long to visit. We were there on a Sunday evening and got a table for five immediately. Sadly, there were no edible menus!! Not sure when this change occurred, but I'm sad to have missed it.
Chef's Special Appetizer ($9): Strawberry Raspberry Tart, Macaron w/ Raspberry Sorbet, and Dark Chocolate Ganache. The tart was fantastic. Prefect crust and custard under the fresh fruits. The macaron had a wonderful chewiness, but the sorbet was awkward and it was a race to eat it before it vacated the cookie. Also, the sorbet was extremely tart, borderline unpleasant. The ganache was wonderful - I loved the texture and the semi-sweet flavor.
Mount Exotic ($12): Mango-flavored Mont Blanc w/ Mango Sauce. Beautiful dessert (obviously). Delicate cake topped with whipped cream, mango cream, lime zest, and fresh mango. Raspberry sauce and thin pieces of chocolate complement the dish. Every element was great and I loved the lightness.
Soleil ($12): Orange-flavored ice cream, mascarpone, and Piquant Cassis mousse. Besides being really delicious, this dessert made to look like an orange with an edible "stick" and leaf. This was my favorite dessert of the bunch.
Prix Fixe ($15)
1. Coconut Sorbet w/ Gelée. Fluffy sorbet, gelée tasted like sweet wine. Fun treat in an espresso cup.
2. Carib: Coconut Panna Cotta, tropical fruit medley, hot mango sauce poured over tropical mousse and cantaloupe sherbet. The wine glass is carefully filled with all the components and covered with a disc. Upon arrival at your table, hot mango sauce is poured on the disc causing it to melt and break into the scape below. Very fun!
