- Be prepared to wait.
- Try to sit at the bar if it's your first time.
My friends & I came here after dinner around 10:30PM on a week night during the holiday season. We were seated a little after an hour wait. It's a nice little setup.. you can sit at the bar & watch the girls make the desserts or you can sit at one of the 2-3 tables of 2-4 seats. Our party of 5 was lucky enough to snag a spot at the bar. We were entertained by the girls plating the desserts.
Once we were seated, the menu was explained to us. It's a prix fixe menu where you get 3 "courses" for $19. You get a starter, an entree (5 options available), & petit fours. OH! The menu (like everyone else has shared) is edible with raspberry dipping sauce. Nothing too exciting, but how many places can you say you've eaten the menu, right??
The amuse was a raspberry sorbet with mint jelly. Light, refreshing, can barely taste the mint. For our entrees, since there were 5 of us & 5 different entrees, we all picked one & tried each.
- Marriage: this was my favorite out of the 5.. a spongecake with banana custard inside and strawberry mousse on top with fresh berries.
- Baton: this looked like a chocolate silo filled a chocolate cake, topped with chocolate & pistachio mousse with a cute candied ribbon on top.
- Angel cream: fromage pear.. super pretty presentation! Delicious & light.
- Mt. Fuji: chestnut cream cake.. tasty, but too much cream for my liking.
- Ringo: another beautiful presentation! My second favorite: it is basically apple pie with with a candied apple filled with cream and a side of honey ice cream.
The petit four was a chocolate molten lava cake with dried fruit and marshmallows on the sides - would skip the fruit.
Overall, super cute dessert place where you don't have to feel bad about taking pictures of your food because everyone else is. ;)
