| - ** This review is only for the frozen hot chocolate and (enormous) cheesecake dessert. **
By serendipitous coincidence (which if you read my profile - this is what I love) I ended up at Serendipity 3 for dessert. Do I get double serendipity points for having a serendipitous coincidence at a restaurant called Serendipity?
That aside - we got here at 8 pm and it was still pretty busy. We were waiting for patio seats in the restaurant since the quick dining option outside didn't have any dessert. We got seated 15 minutes later and found out there was plenty of empty seats on the patio so I wasn't quite sure why they made us wait. Is this another one of those Vegas things I will never understand?
Anyway, between the 3 of us we ordered the frozen hot chocolate, a strawberry ice cream sundae, and the cheesecake. Little did we know what we had in store for us. The frozen hot chocolate was a treat, especially with the almonds. A rich, sweet and satisfying drink.
However the real page turner was when the cheesecake came out. As the cheesecake approached us - 3 jaws dropped. I thought to myself - are you sure that's for me and not that table of 10 across the way? This thing could have been its own cake!
Because of its massiveness, I was afraid this hunk of cake would suffer the restaurant chain rule and be either (1) yucky/inedible or (2) generic tasting. I was actually wrong. The cake wasn't too sweet, not too creamy or gelatinous, but simple and most importantly, it didn't taste like it came from the freezer section at Costco. Score! I gave it my best shot, along with my 2 other dining companions, and at most we got through half of it. I would definitely eat their desserts here again but next time bring more people!
