"0"^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . . "As another reviewer stated, I wanted to love it but it didn't live up to my expectations. I came on the recommendation of a local, who said it was just amazing. We only got drinks, so I cannot speak to the food. It was maybe around 10, so we saw many desserts go out. They looked great, nothing overly amazing, but good.\nI ordered a martini, as I was suggested by the person I spoke with. The martini list is extensive, but there are no descriptions. I guess you could ask the server what each has in it, but basically you're on your own for a shot in the dark. At $9.95 per drink, you expect the martinis to basically be all alcohol, but without descriptions, it's hard to know what you're getting. For me, this made the decision on what to order unnecessarily difficult.\nI got a \"wedding cake\" martini. Not sure what kind of wedding cake they wanted it to taste like, but it tasted like strawberry shortcake. Maybe I got the wrong one. It was good, but I expected something like vanilla buttercream. So perhaps it is my fault and I should have asked what was in it, but it was not what i thought it would be. That said, it was good and I drank it. My bf got a bottle of beer, which at $4.50 seemed a bit steep to me. They sell long-stemmed roses which is a cute surprise- my bf bought one for me while I made the long trek to the bathroom (seriously- to the back of the restaurant and down a flight of stairs!)\nService was mediocre. Our server said almost nothing to us. At a specialized place like that, i expected a bit more explanation. There wasn't even an inquiry of whether we had ever been or not, basically just \"what do you want\". Oh well. He was clearly busy, but it was to the point where he did not enhance my experience in the slightest.\nOverall, Chocolate Bar is clearly an attraction. If you want to go out with the girls for fancy martinis, go for it. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop there."^^ . "0"^^ . "2012-08-26T00:00:00"^^ . . .
