Things here are expensive, so if you really want to try the place out, have dessert, which really is wonderful and HUGE! ”

The ambience, the fantastic deserts, the decor all of it was straight out of the movie and by far worth one if not several trips! ”

We went and had the frozen hot chocolate which they are known for, It was fantastic and worth the wait. ”

The desserts were excellent but not worth the hassle, crowded environment or PRICE. ”

The food is way overpriced and not good, but the desserts are to die for and this is why this place is still going strong. ”

There were children everywhere, the restaurant is terribly crowded with loud, subtly obnoxious people, and finally, not all that cheap considering what you were getting. ”

And the portions are good if you are Andre the giant. ”
