First time trying this place was more than five years ago at the original location by Tomken.
I've gone twice so far to the Ridgeway plaza and have ordered the same dessert: three types of chocolate covered waffle with fruit and choice of ice cream. First time went with Lotus biscotti and the second time went with strawberry shortcake. Both were delicious.
The waffle is soft, the way I like it. Depending on the ice cream you pick, can either make the dish more decadent or reduce its sweetness. Lotus ice cream made everything taste richer. The latter cut the sweetness down a notch. There was so much chocolate that I devoured. Think of yourself as having chocolate fondue minus the fountain cause it's already on the plate. The amount of fruits provided are also generous. The first time, I shared a plate with a friend, the second time, I destroyed it on my own.. I earned it after walking 16km!
The first evening I went was during a weeknight and the place had a handful of people. The second time I went was during a weekend and it was PACKED!!! There were more bodies in the establishment than could accommodate. Families of 7-8 people crowding a table.. no bueno. Or hounds of people waiting for a friend to order. It was chaotic.
Service is pretty quick. There's table service available though you're required to order first, pay and then sit.
The place is brightly lit, with their menu high up (too high even) on screens and decorations adorning walls. Large comfy chairs and wide tables for lounging. Water is brought in a large bottle to quench your thirst.
Much better than Demetres and reasonably priced given the amount of dessert recieved. A couple can share a plate or if you're like me, one person.. it's tempting to go back again and again then find yourself 50 lbs overweight..
In the past, I had a crepe with a similar concept to what's been described above. Seriously, when the cravings strike, go there, you won't be disappointed. read more
