| - There used to be a time when Just Desserts was just the place to get your cake on. It was basically a nicer Futures minus the line ups and back packs but with table service and a more mature clientele. On my most recent visit however, I found that despite there still being the same big selection of tooth rottingly sweet cake there, that it just isn't the same anymore.
First of all, the completely darkened room was a little too dark for us. Other than from the candles (which were lit as each table was sat) and the gigantic neon sign on the wall, there were few other sources of light. Perhaps this is meant to be romantic, but isn't that what the chocolate's for?
The three cuddling couples scattered around us actually seemed to enjoy the mood lighting quite a bit - that, or they had all fallen asleep. I couldn't tell. Surely, we were not the only ones who found the outbursts of the pool players on the little elevated lounge more than a little bit distracting?
I have never found the service at Just Desserts very impressive, but I have also never had any complaints. On this night though, it was the poor server's very first shift. He was visibly shaking as he struggled to take our orders and then had to ask what they were again while I was en route to the bathroom and then still managed to forget to bring part of it. Although we didn't think it was a big deal, the manager was really sweet and came by time and again to ensure that the rest of our stay was okay.
As per usual though, the cake slices were larger than life and the plates were thoughtfully decorated with chocolate and strawberry syrups. No complaints there!
