My husband and I took two out of town guests to the Chocolate Bar. I had heard really good things about this place from the reviews in various papers. As a resident of Atlanta for 10 years I have been trying very hard to find more than a handful of consistantly good places to eat. OTP/ITP, I don't care; Atlanta just doesn't live up to other cities I've lived in (including San Fransico, Washington and even Cleveland). Bouyed by the great reviews, we took this couple out for drinks and deserts. Fifty dollars later for 4 almost nonalcholic drinks and one very small souffle with a spoonful of ice cream I found myself disappointed again. The poor overworked waitress tried hard and she did a very good job but she was the only one there making drinks, food and serving. In the hour we were there we counted over seven groups leaving without being served. Only one of the drinks even romotely tasted alcholic. Why would the owner put only one person there during the Decatur Book Fair? And how did the owner think he could get away with charging outrageous prices for so little?
