We checked out Cafe Dilettante's new location up on Broadway today. I've been going to Dilettante since I was a small child, but I hadn't been there in a few years because, quite honestly, the service had gone far, far downhill.

The new incarnation of Dilettante, however, is fantastic. The space is lovely, and a much better layout than their old location. In addition to the chocolates, cakes, and ice cream treats, they have a menu of savory nibbly foods and entrees that I will try on future visits. They also have a full bar, and a menu of assorted speciality chocolate martinis. Imagine a chocolate martini made with vodka and Dilettante's infamous Ephemere* sauce. A large, generously-poured martini. Why yes, I am still a bit tipsy from it.

*Ephemere sauce is a thick, rich chocolate sauce that is essentially chocolate truffle filling in semi-liquid form. It is absolutely delightful.

Good to know the service is improved. I stopped going there a few years back because of crappy service.

I am interested in the nibbly foods they have. One of my big complaints was, on top of the service, was that they nearly only had desserts - and if I wanted something savory, I was reduced to soup and salad.

I miss their pate.

Maybe when it warms up a tad...

Oh! And Drew bought me two kickass pairs of boots I must show you. He thinks one pair in particular is screaming "Vampire Ball," so...

Nibs & I used to love Dilletante back in the day, too. We'll have to check out the new location. And I'm all for any drink that can get me wired & tipsy at the same time.

Chai AND hot white chocolate. I am in love!
