Don’t let the name fool you--it’s definitely not just desserts at this scene-y spot; the savory menu is just as tempting. Chef Mindy Segal is a stickler for season, so expect an ever-changing assortment of dishes as well as staples/all-ages crowd pleasers such as mac and cheese made with Gruyre and cheddar. When you do get to the dessert, order warm brioche doughnuts with hot fudge for everyone to share, plus stout-and-caramel milkshakes for the adults and milk chocolate malt ones for the kids.
