WOW, this place is beautiful! And right in the middle of no where lol
We had already eaten at a nother place, but didn't want to try desert there, so we went here, and this is deffenetly somewhere I'd like to return for a full meal. We skipped the written full menu to go straight to desert, as we waited (a little long) for our orders, we noticed the chalk board writting behind our table, and it was full of very interesting specials, like oysters and other things. Some of them didn't seem expensive, and other things seemed really expensive but yet had value to it since they weren't simple. I saw them bringing dinners to other tables, and man, it smelled so good xp I totally regret not having dinner here instead xp
Chocolate Pot de Creme 8$ not what I'd call delicious. It tasted more like a chocolate genash icing, thickish pudding, that wasn't too sweet. I didn't like how there was very little contrast of textures. Only the genash, a few crunchy bits on top, and a little scoop of whipped cream. Don't taste the expresso at all. This desert would had been amazing if they had put a layer of caramalized sugar ontop to make it seem like a coffee/chocolate version of creme brule. It really was missing an extra component, not something I'd order again, sadly, but it wasn't bad, just nothing special. Not a small or giant portion, and not a problem to share between 2 people.
My brother got the Banana Cream cheesecake 9$ which was the biggest slice of cheesecake I've ever seen served in a restaurant! This was the best desert out of our 3 orders. The caramel bananas ontop were nice and warm, which I never see on cheesecakes. The caramel itself was not overly sweet, and a very nice texture to it and drizzled over and across the plate and was nice to swipe each forkfull across, though I didn't notice it was the salted type when I tasted it. The cheesecake itself was velvety and very pleasant. Graham base wasn't too hard or too soft. The roasted dark pecans ontop were nice, but they don't put a lot of it. The only thing this lacked was a crunchy element ontop, like some sort of crumbled layer added would have sufficed to help balance out the textures, it's ok to not add more expensive pecans, but maybe something similar to an apple crumble texture would had been great. Otherwise it was perfect and a really nice surprizing treat :) The slice didn't need to be that big though, it was very indulgant, and if that's their usual size, then it's really something meant for sharing between two people, but they ought to specify that since it is huge.
Also got the icecream and sorbet 5$. Sounded nice; 3 scoops: vanilla ice cream, mango sorbet, and peach sorbet. I didn't try it, my mom said it all tasted very good and very different from everywhere else, but she was very embarassed by how gigantic the plate was compared to the 3 miniature scoops in the middle at the bottom, (with a cute mint leaf ontop). The plate made the food look tiny, and she felt mocked, and honestly... we were trying not to laugh because it looked... sorry to say, but like a baby dk... lol XD That was a little bit ridiculous... But anyways, the portion was fine, it wasn't exagerated huge scoops, and would had been the perfect guilt free treat after a very fuffilling dinner, which from looking at what other people got, they do give full portions.
Very polite waiters. Took a little time for them to come with our bill, eventhough it wasn't busy, though for an early tuesday evening, I was surprised to see the place filled up 1/3rd since it was in the middle of nowhere. Didn't even know it was there.
The restaurant itself isn't huge at all, yet it wasn't cramped either or a lot of empty spaces, comfortable, and you see everything when inside, no hidden seating. The high ceilings gave a nice feel, and the simple modern wood decor was actually very rustic while still being very elegant. This is totally a nice place to take a date, and was also child friendly. They give you actual cloth napkins, not tissue material, and a fire lit candle in the middle of the table, so this deffinetely feels adult yet they don't overdo it.
I'm happy that I have this so close to home! Deffinetly coming back for an actual meal :3
