Service was okay. Nothing to brag about. Stay in Australia long enough, you get use to it. Not bad actually. It was a warm day, we decided to sit outside to enjoy what warmth we could get. Many tables were available. Not surprising as it was after the lunch crowd, mid week. The latte here are really good too. As I was enjoying this cup, I was listening to report stating the world demand for coffee outweighs the production. It is predicted in 50 years coffee will be no more. This is a real dilemma for manu Aussies who enjoy coffee. In fact, stand in any corner of the street you sill see a coffee shop within eye sight. In the city it's not uncommon to see 3 to 4. The strawberry chocolate dip was decadent. The chocolate was rich, smooth creamy, not overtly sweet and deliciously good. Dipping the strawberry, it is such a great combination. After the fruit was gone there was still a bit of chocolate left. It was finger lickin' good. Yup, it's not just chicken that can get that phrase. When in the Rouse Hill Mall, and you need a break, have some coffee and chocolate here. Especially the coffee. Before it becomes extinct.

Had dinner somewhere in the shopping centre and decided to have some chocolate goodness to finish off the night. Walked in and it was quite but something about it made it feel more deserted than quite. The tables with filthy dried chocolate and spilled everything all over them. But I got over that and went to order, which to my surprise was reasonably priced compared to max Brenner. Got the waffle and chocolate classic and hot chocolate, was pumped to dig into it on a cold winters night! But it was luke warm and the chocolate was just that as well. The ice cream came with it and tasted like home brand and pretty much just split when my spoon came near it. I would never normally leave half an uneaten waffle lonely on the table..but I had to this time. Instead cradling my hot chocolate which was pretty good but as for everything else..was bit of a let down unfortunately. I wanted to love it but MB will be my choc shop for crisp winters night to come.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, the place is packed to capacity; we were kindly greeted and sat down with menus. We both had heard about the "freakshakes" and so 2 freakshakes were on our agenda. The 2 freakshakes came out. The golden gaytime shake and the chocolate volcano. Where to begin; saw the staff walking out and these shakes were massive and filled with toppings. The golden gaytime was a mix between a golden gaytime and an iced coffee; and don't forget the donuts!. The other was a choc shake with a chocolate soufflé on top, so tasty, warm and gooey! Everything you want in a good shake was there. The freakshakes are a MUST. Shorty after we ordered our mains; a lamb and pumpkin salad spread and a delicious Dean! The staff throughout the whole visit were quick, friendly and suggestive. They knew the menu well. Whilst we were still finishing our shakes, the meals came out, the presentation was impeccable. Great spread of food and was excited to dig in. The lamb was very tender and the other flavours on the dishes came out strongly, pumpkin, beetroot and the dressing. The other dish, was tasty, the poached egg was just right and had a great flavour with the basil pesto and the prosciutto. After having two extremely satisfying meals here and great service. Will be here again.

FOOD Shared an entree of sea scallops (seared wild north Atlantic sea scallops with cauliflower puree, almond crunch and herbed bellini - $22). These were absolutely lovely.

A very full on dish that would leave anyone stuffed. There was a very generous portion of seafood sitting on a base of linguine. If anything I think I would have wanted the 'hint of chili' to have been a bit more than just a hint to add a bit of power to the dish. The lamb was was nicely cooked and soft. However I wasn't a fan of the terrine. It was a strange mix with the lamb. SERVICE When I handed over the credit card the waiter said "thank you senor". ??? Either I have a hearing problem or he was smart enough to know that it wasn't my name on the credit card.
