    We arrived early and they were able to seat us. Our waiter, Dakota, was energetic and friendly as well as knowledgeable about the menu items. It wasn’t very busy but that’s likely because it’s the end of January I think because they use chocolate and other candy inspirations the menu is a little intimidating. Samples or small plates/ tapas might be a good idea to sell the concept of combining sweet and savory in uncommon ways.

    Honestly seeing a lot of the negative reviews almost detoured me from coming but it’s an experience, for those that are local to the area , it’s nostalgic! Sure it’s a bit on the pricey side but I got the Cubano and I think my food was pretty good and I would dine in again

    Great for the kids they love it! I would say the food is average but you really go for the kids’ experience. The drinks are fun! Prices are about average as well.

    We had a great dinner with friends. Our waitress was slammed with two very large groups, making our service slow, through no fault of her own. She had no help with her larger parties and we watched 4-6 people stand around the hostess station all night.

    Overall, the experience was fine. The food was a bit pricey. We had a terrible time, as did the other families we dined with, trying to find the parking lot. Google maps provided incorrect directions and brought us to a back loading dock/ service area. We also had a large party and the restaurant would not work with us on split payment.
    The Chocolatier Restaurant + BarResponded 3 days ago

We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the food and ambiance, though we’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you faced with parking and the payment process. We completely understand how frustrating it can be to deal with incorrect directions and we’ll look into ways to ensure our parking lot is easier to find. Regarding the payment issue, we do our best to accommodate large parties, and we apologize if it wasn’t handled to your satisfaction. We’ll take your comments into account and explore how we can improve the experience for future groups. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again soon!
