“Good but Very Slow”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW via mobile

We came her last year and again this week for a late lunch. While the food is quite good, fresh and well prepared and the chocolate menu is insane, the service and time it takes to get seated and served leaves much to be desired. From point of seating to food was 45 minutes...considerably longer than it took to eat.... More

“Martini, manicure, Mondays”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

My travelling companion found this restaurant/bar in one of the hotel magazines and thought it sounded interesting. Looked it up on tripadvisor and it seemed to have favourable reviews so, since it was raining and right down the street from our hotel we decided to check it out. The first thing we noticed upon arriving was the strong odour of... More

I was in town for a wedding this past weekend, and was so excited to visit the Chocolate Bar. I am a chocolate fanatic and I just knew a chocolate martini from a place called the Chocolate Bar was going to be awesome. But... not so much! My friend and I dropped in and placed an order for two of... More

Thank You for your review We are a partner with 3 olives vodka which is a premium brand used in all of our martinis and chocolate shots. We are proud with our relationship with them and truly feel it is the best vodka on the market for our martinis. The comments about the taste is rather confusing. I am also... More

“The Chocolate Bar Couldn't Be Any Sweeter!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2013

I’ve been to the Chocolate Bar at least ten times in the past year. I have been there for lunch, dinner, dessert and drinks. I can’t list everything that I have tried but here are some of my favorites. My favorite appetizer is the Tomato and Fresh Mozzarella medley. It is always fresh and comes with the right amount of...

“NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2013

I can honestly say this was the worst experience of my life! My girlfriends and I attended dinner here on Saturday evening 4/20/13. The lack of prorfessionalism and disreguard for taking care of "the customer" was mind blowing! Our party of 8 was cramped with people bumping into us having to move our chairs constantly for people to get through!... More

This review is very inaccurate. This table tried leaving without paying. I personally went down the street and found them to tell them to pay their bill we even called the police. The people at the tables all around them applauded when they left. Our staff was so shook up by this experience. The abuse they took was very challenging.... More

“Best hideaway spot to chill”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2013

Love visiting the chocolate bar when we are in the city. It's a treat and we enjoy the wonderful martinis they make. We always order their fries and chicken tacos. They are the best. Lisa, our bartender, is so accommodating and treats us royal. Best times and conversation at the bar

“What a Neat Concept”

A great stop for lunch or dinner before or after a show at Shea's or when in the downtown area. Have been twice now: once for dessert only and once for dinner. If you love mojitos, try the chocolate mojito...its rich but incredible. Had the crab cakes and roasted veggie wrap and they were fantastic. Love how there's so many... More
