Before leaving, we both picked a splurge item for vacation. He picked bruins/rangers tix for tomorrow and I googled and found a dessert restaurant named finale. Best part? It's actually in our city block!
After dinner we headed over to scope it out. They're having an October special for national dessert month-buy a sampler platter, get the molten cake free.
We got it all down but really could have used a third person for that lava cake!!!
Starting at 12 o'clock:
Mini Boston cream pie-had dark chocolate shell on top which usually I don't like, but it was tasty.
Brownie sundae-the brownie was thin and super fudgy. Excellent.
Creme brûlée-eh. I have never understood the appeal of this dessert. It was probably good for people who like it...
Whoopie pies-one for each of us! Brownie outside with whipped cream inside. Yum.
Strawberry shortcake-wow!! I liked that the cake had a little crispness to it instead of the usual bland spongecake. I would get a regular size order of this if we ever went back.
Some kind of fancy cake/mousse thing-it was ok, but it was sitting in some kind of apricot goo that I didn't like, so that took it down a notch for me.
Sorbet-just your average raspberry sorbet
Apple cranberry pie- it was ok but I don't particularly love apple pie to begin with.
In the middle-cheesecake-it was fine, more whipped than common cheesecake.
With our sampler platter, we got the free molten cake. It was excellent, but the platter was more than enough for 2 people, so it was hard to get it down! Mike had the ice cream because they used real espresso.
Also done today: Sam Adams brewery tour and urban hike of the freedom trail(backwards so that we ended at the hotel) except for the ship and bunker hill that we'll hit later...
