I went about three years ago.

I thought the view was beautiful.

sadly, i don't remember any tastes and flavours, but everything looked very beautiful. and then the aforementioned view.

i was as greedy as i could be, but just don't remember much. this is not a good sign. but it was a long time ago. and its kinda chilly, good weather for snarfing up chocolate and pastry.......

let us know how it is, i'm curious as might want to revisit.

I went there about five plus years ago for it. It looked a lot better than it tasted to be honest with you (think more style than substance....)

Sorry...I just call 'em as I taste 'em. The Ritz Carlton has done this thing in past winters where they make pretty decent hot chocolate though (granted not nearly as good as the Naked Chocolate Cafe a few blocks away) if it helps.

we had a nice time.

it was 24.95, i wouldn't say it was worth it, meaning no way the 7 of us ate 175$ worth of food or even close. i thought the pastries were just ok. they had the chocolate fountain which was good, and lots of fruit and things to dip, and a gentelman was making fresh filled crepes.

All in all i'd say the quality of the desserts was good. The atmosphere is beautiful (esp for us celebrating 2 very special occasions), nice music beautiful room. The value, eh. 25$ is alot for dessert and we each had a drink with it (not included) so all in all it came to 250 + tip for seven people to have desserts and 1 drink, kind of a pricey evening. Nice to try but i don't think i'll rush back
