This review is long over due. I think I went several months ago. This is the second Extraordinary Desserts. It is located in Little Italy and is larger than the Hillcrest location. There is a different feel. The atmosphere is more contemporary. The menu offers a wider selection than just desserts.
Kiwi Lemonade ($4) - Dave says, “No big surprise. Pretty much lemonade with chunks of kiwi in it. Nothing spectacular.”
Turkey Breast Panini ($10) - with smoked mozzarella, cranberry mayonnaise, and butter leaf lettuce. The turkey was moist, but the bread was too crunchy.
I think this was the Serrano Ham Panini ($10) with buffalo mozzarella, balsamic onions, and red plum conserve.
Sorry, but I can’t remember which chocolate desserts these are either! But, I will say that every single dessert that I’ve had at both locations has been pretty good… very rich and decadent!
Taste: 7.5/10
Presentation: 4.5/5
Service/Atmosphere: 4.5/5

That last chocolate cake looks like The Viking — chocolate cake with a layer of chocolate creme brulee (sans brulee), and another layer of chocolate whipped cream.
I’m just OK with Extraordinary Desserts. To some degree, I feel they are style over substance.
