Several other items were also brought to the table throughout the evening for us to sample, including some pimp'd out shrimp and a large selection of breads.

The food and atmosphere were very nice. Music was provided by the Frank Duvall Jazz Trio. The only problem I had, other than being in an uncomfortable high-class setting, was that I sat in a high traffic area. The wait staff kept hitting my chair throughout the roughly two hours we were there. The portions were small (which was to be expected), but with all the extras I was quite full when we left. I will have to make special note of the dessert, which was the most impressive thing to be placed on the table the whole night. It was a very artistic display of five different chocolaty goodies. Although it didn't look it, everything on the plate was edible. The plate itself had a coating of chocolate as the base of the dessert. I ate the five pieces in the order the chef recommends, and I'm honestly not sure how I finished it. It was so sweet that I didn't feel so well upon finishing it, which I think is saying a lot. I imagine most people can't finish it themselves..maybe the recommended wine would have helped. It took everything I had to eat it all. Unfortunately the first thing I ate was by far the best of the five. I could have stopped there and been happy..and saved my self a couple million calories.
