Chocolate - Fontainebleau

Went for my wife's birthday. Party of 8, only one ordered beef. The rest ordered Italian food, mostly risotto. I have never tasted such a bad risotto! We all agreed it was probably the worst ever...To make things worse, the waiter didn't even ask how come our plates were almost intact. For desert, we ordered a chocolate souffle. They brought us a brownie that was half hot, half cold, probably out of the microwave... NOT RECOMMENDED.

Can you think of a better place then one that puts chocolate on everything?

My husband and I had dinner at Chocolate last night, on Valentine's Day. They had a Valentine's Day menu that was simply exquisite. The food was very fresh, and all were gourmet selections. This was our first time at Chocolate and we will definitely be returning. It was a bit expensive, but well worth it. We are regulars at many gourmet type restaurants in the Miami area, but so far, none have been able to match our dining experience at Chocolate. The service was fantastic, I strongly recommend that everyone try this restaurant at least once.

The appetizers were interesting and enjoyable especially the cheese bowl. We were very pleased by the unique and interesting choices on the menu. There was no problem with the service; in fact, our servers were quite pleasant. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

First the good: The skirt steak was good. The parmesan basket with fondue was ok. Lobster ravioli was nothing special, just edible. OK, now for the real experience: When it came time for dessert, we were really looking forward to our choices. After all, look at the name of the restaurant. The waitress spat off the names of about 8 desserts with the personality of a wet mop, expecting us to understand it all and know what everything was. When we asked about a couple of things, we got a roll of her eyes and the same spiel. Once again, we were not given a clear description of our choices so we tried, given what we knew to make up our minds. With that, this rude waitress said, ;I do have other tables to wait on. ; We asked for the manager who came over and just gave us a blank stare with a phony smile. We explained the rude service we just received and he answered, ;Nah, I 've known her for 20 years! ; I 'll surprise you. We never saw him again and the dessert that got to us was the one thing we told the waitress we did NOT want. The owner was also too busy brown nosing some TV personality. OK food with terrible service. Never again!
