We saved room for dessert and ordered the chocolate cake topped with a meringue and a strawberry shortcake type of treat that included gelatin to hold the strawberries in place.

It was very fast foodie and not very good quality for a sit down burger spot. I didnt like the food at all but I gave it 3 Stars because of the ambiance of the place. It looks a lot more upscale than the food quality. But the place is nice enough to meet friends and have a beer or cocktail and just have good conversation so I'll add a star for that.
