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.
