I love that they make most of the chocolates in house. They have spice truffles that remind me of Vosges. I was given a free sample of any truffle so I opted for the caramel sea salt - it was a delicious combination of sweet and salty. They are very reasonably priced. They have a huge selection and make cute little prepacked treats for the holidays too. Have to sample their sipping chocolate while you are there - Heavenly!

The crushed nut ones are nutty and flavorful, but not overly oily like what you'd expect with western peanut butter. And the red candies were chewy and lightly sweet and sour. The texture is just right, not too hard or soft, and leaves a clean after taste. I can't rave enough about this candy store. I loved everything I've tried so far. Loved how it is rich in variety and depth of labor, the texture is just right and not overly sweet or greasy. I ordered some pastry for a party and every guest loved them!

It's very peaceful, romantic and a calm atmosphere. All of the food was delicious. The plating is so attractive! The dishes have great flavor but are healthier options. The portion sizes were perfect for what we desired. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the best branzino I've ever had. The skin was crunchy and delicious. But the fish was not dry at all! There's nothing better than a juicy branzino fish and chef Jose nailed it! Matching with the sauce and beans was so much better than any other veggies or starch. The octopus was also cooked to perfection. The flavor and temperature was just right. Not too hot and such a great texture. We don't always order desserts but we had to see every course of the menu. We decided to go with a lava cake and it did not disappoint. It had that perfect contrast of hot and cold but it's served with gelato which gives it a nice touch of texture compared to standard ice cream. Chef Jose came out and introduced himself. We came in because we were enticed by a beef tartare that was on their menu in the past. We're hoping he brings it back on a special sometime soon. He said to give him a call and he'll try to accommodate whenever possible to make his customers happy. What an amazing restaurant. We cannot wait to come back and see what's new. Thank you for an amazing dinner and night!

The vibe here definitely meets a park ridge niche that nothing else does - intimate but elevated, a great date night place. Excellent cocktails and decent portions. Tuna tower was a fun app and we ordered lamb chops and a pasta for our mains. My only wish is that they had a slightly larger menu. I hope they add to it or do seasonal offerings because the selection is not too large and we pretty much maxed out what we'd be interested in trying in one visit. But they did it well and we enjoyed the Valentine's Day touched around the restaurant!

Preparing for my sister-in-laws wedding shower meant we needed to find the perfect centrepieces…read more Most people would opt for a beautiful flower arrangement but my mother-in-law and I wanted an edible centrepiece. Kristen created the most beautiful centrepieces I've ever seen. Most of the guests couldn't tell they were cupcakes until we made the announcement. She even made a cake for the soon to be bride and groom to practice on for the big day. We opted for an array of cupcake flavours: chocolate, red velvet, lemon, banana, and vanilla. All of the flavours were highly complimented by the guests. We even asked for her to use a different holder to go with our rustic theme. Kristin accepted the challenge and found the most perfect rustic vessel to use. I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone. I look forward to working with her in the future.

The Royal Nuts is a shop that's owned by Turkish immigrants who make all types of specialties. Lots of good ideas for gifts. Prices are okay. A lot of good treats in here.

Among the bigger items is Turkish delight. These are a pretty okay price at a couple bucks, good combination of nutty and sweet. Hard to find and easy to miss at first.

Mrs. Prindables is a great gift to give or receive (or order for yourself)…read more We have received them and gifted them (the apples), and they're always well received as a treat with a healthy center - but a LOT of treat on top. The packaging the apples come in is gorgeous with their brand color of purple, an adorable branded purple or red bow, and a box of the highest quality that you'll want to keep for storing other things (I put craft ribbons in one of mine, as an example)! There are about a dozen flavors to choose from for your candy apple, so you'll definitely find something amazing to order/send someone/grab for yourself. When you unbox the apple, you'll see they are gigantic and are definitely shareable between a few people. Or you can cut it up and save for later in the fridge. Mrs. Prindables has many other chocolaty delicious items too, like candy boxes, chocolate covered pretzels, and caramels and nut mixes. But just to reiterate, the apples are the absolute best thing to get! And best of all, for such a luxurious item and beautiful packaging - they aren't really that expensive, when you consider how much you spend on a gift usually. Definitely consider them for an upcoming gift or treat for yourself!

The chocolate tastes like it's low quality and the caramel just tastes weird. It's hard to screw up a caramel apple, but Mrs Prindible's did just that.

ALSO, they apples were only slightly larger than a golf ball, so when you see them online, just know you're getting a teeny tiny little apple.

As we walked in this place had a young boy and you girl working working the counter. Needless to say both were extremely inexperienced. Especially during the Christmas season and if they weren't they sure acted as if they were. I proceeded to order the remaining pies and when I asked if they could simply box 3 of the 10 pies up in a white box, the boy needed to seek "permission". When he came out he offered to charge extra. I replied "no problem, let's get them going". While he was in the middle of boxing them up another woman came in and ordered one of the pies. Rather than explain this to the young girl he stood there almost scared to say anything. We decided to watch this happen rather the interject since it was Christmas week. We honestly expected the staff member or boy to speak up and let the young girl know we had already ordered them. Well, he did not. And he then proceeded to tell us we were 2 pies short after waiting for 20 min with 4 customers within that time. We decided to just refuse the pies and thank him for the hospitality and left. Very disappointing and very disorganized. I absolutely recommend you avoid this bakery at all cost unless you want a single donut. Or until they decide to hire competent adult staff.
