Pasta Rosettes, pasta w bolognese sauce, pork mole, all desserts were delicious. Chicken parm was a little dry and chicken soup was ok. Service was slow and one of our orders came late but all of our servers were nice, attentive and kept water for the table coming.

The food was OK but they were out of 2 of the 3 entrees we wanted to order. One pasta dish was in a pool of vinaigrette, perhaps spilled from the salad? The server brought out one drink right away but when I asked a few minutes later about my glass of wine, the server said he was waiting for the barista to come back from break (?). And restaurant customers must use a restroom in the bookstore next door, which seems awkward. Overall not a great experience.

The roasted pork in a wonderful chocolate/orange sauce is soooooo delicious! The hot chocolate drinks make a great dessert… no need for more dessert as each hot chocolate comes with a lady finger swamped with whip cream. I especially liked the Frida hot chocolate.

Everything we ordered was fine, but the food was kind of mediocre for the price. The menu didn't have a lot of main menu options in comparison to dessert options, so it seems like our mistake was probably that we came for a meal when it might really be a dessert place. The hot chocolate we got was good, but nothing special. My expectations were higher for a place named Chocolate.

I chose Chocolate for a birthday/retirement lunch with family. I was the only chocoholic in our party, but all enjoyed the food. We all got different hot chocolates to begin, a variety of main dishes, and different desserts, all of which we liked. I got a dark Colombian hot chocolate, which packed the kind of deep punch I like. I also got the chicken mole. They now have only one type of mole, which was a little spicier than I'm used to. I acclimated quickly and gobbled it all up, although the spice did affect the taste of the remaining hot chocolate. For dessert, I got the chocolate sin cake, which was nice and dark, though not as dense as I expected. We ate inside, which was rather dark--I had to walk over to a window to read the menu. Service was generally good and well timed, although the one soda ordered was not brought. The restaurant is quite small, so it's probably never loud inside; we were there mid-afternoon, and there were only a handful of other patrons. Metered parking right outside on the street was surprisingly available, although not cheap. There is also a covered lot right around the corner. We will definitely return!

The mushroom soup is my favorite. Nice, relaxed and unrushed service. Staff is friendly, and good menu selection.

We stopped in for hot chocolate after watching fireworks in the freezing cold in Capitola. The restaurant was almost closed, but Lori was incredibly gracious and served us anyway. They were waiting for another table to finish. The hot chocolates and chocolate martini were delicious!
