After reading numerous reviews and staring at their famed chocolate fondant, I knew it was only a matter of time before I would be ordering one and stabbing it with my fork. And so it was on Saturday night, that I met up with two friends to go desserting with the (or my) focus being the chocolate fondant.Since we were only there for dessert, we were seated at the bar which is a separate room situated adjacent to the restaurant.

Since we were only there for dessert, we were seated at the bar which is a separate room situated adjacent to the restaurant. Decorated in oak browns and reds, it gave an instinctively masculine feeling when taking in the surroundings. Menus were given to us promptly, we all ordered a coffee and after a few minutes of 'discussion' the strawberry trio was selected along with the chocolate fondant.
The desserts arrived quite quickly, which lent to the assumption that they were not made fresh to order and further proven when the chocolate fondant was only lukewarm. The size of the desserts were definitely quite astounding. The chocolate fondant was litterally face-sized and nearly two inches tall! While the strawberry trio came in a big glass trifle bowl which I'm sure could have been shared amongst six people at least.
Although the quantity was there, the quality was not that great. The cooked part of the fondant was very thick, and tasted like a very unspectacular chocolate cake. The vanilla ice-cream was the highlight, but way too small in comparision with the size of the fondant. They should really consider serving a bigger scoop .
The strawberry trio tasted like a McDonald's strawberry sundae, but with better quality vanilla ice-cream. It was essentially composed of layers of strawberry puree, mascapone cheese, vanilla ice-cream and cream topped with crumble bits.
The coffee was decent, the texture of my latte was quite smooth, but there was a slight bitterness to the taste and the temperature was not hot enough despite my request of extra hot. All in all I would say the experience was disappointing, maybe because I was anticpating it somuch. And unless they decide to decrease the quantity and increase the quality of the desserts, I would probably say trying it once is more than enough.
