For dessert, you can dip bits of brownie, pound cake, cheesecake or fruit into the Yin and Yang, a pleasing mixture of dark and white chocolate shaped like the Chinese symbol.

    Usually I stay away from chains but just try to find an independent fondue place. Food is excellent and fun and incredibly atmosphere is romantic. Though a bit spendy, it's excellent for special occassions, I took the bf there for his birthday.

    This is had to be one of the best places to take a date. Or just go there with friends. It's quaint.
