POP Champagne & Dessert Bar

Really enjoyed  the dried fruits and cheese set up, paired well with the various champagnes we ordered.   The Risotto was excellent and  also loved  live jazz on their speakeasy sundays in the evenings.   Great atmosphere! Intimate...great date location.

I recently came here to celebrate my anniversary with my boyfriend and the service we received was just so good and the food was pretty good as well.  We kind of knew what we wanted since my thing is to always look at pictures and the menu beforehand and that kind of helped process the ordering time a bit faster since we didn't have to keep thinking about what we wanted.  They apparently change their menu every month but I'm not sure if there really is much of a change.  Not too sure since it was my first time here and I saw their menu for last month as well and it wasn't that much different to me.

To start off, the whole vibe was kind of romantic (yet casual) with its dim lighting but it also seems nice to enjoy with friends and family.  We ordered:

1.  Cherry Heirloom, Roma Tomato & Basil Bruschetta w/ Parmesan Crostini - These were so good!  You really can't mess these up, I think, but there was just way too much balsamic vinegar towards the bottom of the bowl that should have been somewhat drained out.  That was a little sloppy, but still good!

2.  Filet Mignon - I wish I had ordered this!  It was a 7 oz filet with chimichurri sauce, a side of salad and roasted potatoes.  This piece of meat wasn't overcooked and everything about it was so good!  If we were to think of highlight dish from this placed compared to whatever we ordered, we would instantly think of this plate.  Honestly, I wouldn't mind hiring the person who made this filet mignon to make this everyday if my cholesterol level could handle it. Lol  I would definitely suggest getting this for your entree if you do decide to eat here!

3.  Seared Salmon - This is what I had ordered and while it was really good and not dry, I kind of wish I had ordered the filet mignon! I think what kind of turns me away from this dish would be the tortilla gnocchi.  It tasted very fishy and so I couldn't finish it and gave it away.  They should replace the gnocchi with something else, in my humble opinion.

4.  Banana Split -  The reason why we ordered this was because they had fried bananas and it reminded me of my childhood of when I used to travel to Singapore very often.  The fried banana was obviously going to be different from what I had with its almond-crusted bananas, but they were still good!  I liked the banana and chocolate swirl ice cream, too.

Overall, I think this place is great for certain occasions where you know dessert and alcohol is the main thing here.  

Tips:
1.  Parking structure is right across the street on this one-way road.
2.  Check their menu online -- they have their monthly dessert and dinner menus available for you to view.
3.  Make reservations!

Andrea was awesome.  Dessert menu features specials and souffles du jour and helpfully indicates gluten-free and vegetarian options.  The vanilla creme brûlée was amazing.  I was able to find a parking spot right outside, but there's also a lot across the street.  Classy, adorably decorated, perfect location.  Would definitely come back.
