I constantly see ads where bloggers praise these desserts. I decided to try it too. I ordered my favorite fruits for which I had the most hope. Unfortunately, I didn't like it. The only thing that I tried was a banana dessert (it tastes like snickers ice cream). When I ate these desserts, I felt only the buttery taste. It feels like they are made of cheap chocolate, unfortunately. I'll rate the mango at 5/10 (the taste of cheap chocolate and the small amount of mango itself was rasting. I love mangoes myself and would like to see more mangoes inside). The dessert of passion fruit was just terrible 1/10 (chocolate absolutely does not go well with passion fruit). Dessert in the form of an apple 3/10 (too creamy and again very little apple filling itself and too much cream). I plan to try all the desserts in the future. But so far I'm disappointed and I paid $60 for 4 desserts (I think they're not worth the money). And now about the good things: the restaurant is insanely beautiful! The presentation of the dishes is amazing. The service is good. All dishes and desserts look divine.
