| - I was really excited before going into this restaurant. We visited the Body Exhibit first and came over for dinner. Because chocolate was in the name, both my daughter and I decided to try their "signature" entrees. My daughter ordered the chocolate baguette and I ordered the chocolate pasta. After reading the description for the chocolate baguette, I tried to convince my daughter that she would not like it; a slice of chocolate, coarse sea salt on a baguette with dipping oil? Did not sound appetizing to me and my daughter soon found out that is was nasty and way too salty. They put a dab of chocolate and a whole lot of salt, I didn't even want to try it. My chocolate pasta was very good. The white chocolate sauce was subtle and lightly sweet, but very good. The portion sizes were not large, which was good for me, I don't eat a lot. The prices were very affordable. I did not try the martini's, my brain cannot calculate paying $10 for one drink. It makes no sense and I don't care. If someone else is paying then perhaps. The dessert, we got the chocolate brownie explosion. It was very good.
Our server was either new or just plain dumb. She had no clue on recommendations and I asked what type of pasta, she couldn't name it and when my daughter asked about the prosciutto for the alfredo, she said it was something on a piece of bread. I had to explain to her(the waitress) what prosciutto was. They ran out of a number of items, crepes, belgian desserts and etc. Why not run to the store and make up a new batch? I'm confused.
The ambiance was nice and they dining room was decorated ok. I believe that the restaurant has a good idea but very poorly executed. The one thing I appreciated was the price, very affordable. They need better training of wait staff and some help kitchen with shopping on the weekends. Dave's is down the street. Would I go back again? Probably.
