Excellent Cheese and Wine, Amazing Desserts!

by HipDwntnMom at Citysearch

I've been to the Union St. location about 1,000 times and always have a consistently positive experience. From large birthday gatherings to coffee with a friend to happy hour after work - I have never been disappointed. Their desserts are their namesake - and are truly Extraordinary in taste and presentation. However, their wine and cheese selection is excellent, as are their appetizers - interesting flavor combinations. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, although some do come with a little attitude to match the modern Asian-inspired decor. But hey, it's not TGI Fridays, right? They are always accommodating - even when I brought my baby and she was fussing, the waitress offered to package our entire dinner and desserts AND wine to go in these adorable packages.

Recommendations: Viking Cake paired with Kona Coffee or a glass of Pinot

• Pros: Tantalizing menu, knowledgeable staff
• Cons: service OK

my favorite place for kona coffee with dessert

by kelliepatzer at Citysearch

i love the union street location best. love the modern decor.

i go for one of two reasons:

1. i have a sweet-tooth -- which means i get kona coffee just for myself and one crazy large delicious dessert.

2. i have my savory-tooth -- which means i must have their grilled cheese sandwich with sundried tomatoes and green olive tapenade with either soup or salad.

MMMMMmmmmm.....

• Pros: crazy insane desserts!
• Cons: can be overcrowded

Terrible Service

by zumzumn at Citysearch

I'm hoping that we went on a terrible night, but it was definitely overcrowded. You could not view the dessert selection. There wasn't much to view since the cases were practically empty. I was overcharged by $70plus on my credit card, which I'm waiting for a refund and a return call since our visit was 3 nights ago. I usually love going here, but the night I took some guests was not pleasant. It took over an hour for our desserts to get to the table, on top of that, we placed a sandwich order, that the waiter did not have down, so we told him to forget about re-ordering it.

If you must eat overpriced dessert, then go in the afternoon when the place is practically empty.

• Pros: A place to ooo and aaahh some out of town guests.
• Cons: Crowded weekends, Overpriced, snooty staff
