American,American New,Dessert/BakeryThis sleek cafe churns out high-end American comfort food and decadent desserts courtesty of lauded chef Mindy Segal, formerly the pastry chef at MK. The creative entrees, cocktails and lounge-like atmosphere draw in crowds, but the main reasons to visit Hot Chocolate are its namesake sweets: favorites include the hot white chocolate and the banana cream pie loaded with caramalized bananas, sherbert, butterscotch and hot fudge.

hot sexy chocolate....
Reviewed on Friday, 27 June 2008
This place gets packed on weekends for good reason. Fantastic, ebullient service -- shout-outs to the super-hot, charming Doug and the scripted but terribly descriptive Sonny -- and just-how-they-described-it (but still pleasantly surprising) food.
Yes, it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. Restaurants of this caliber don't need to offer Cheesecake Factory-size portions for a good value.
If there had been much more of my seasonal cherry dessert on the plate, I might have vomited on the spot. From sheer bliss overkill or sudden diabetic shock. You pick. (Or maybe both.)
The espresso I ordered, however, was about two shots too many and about sent me through the roof.
Over the past (neverending) winter, I tried the homemade Oreos (WHAT) and Mexican hot chocolate, both of which were as droolworthy as the aforementioned Doug who brought them to me.
