I'm a self-professed chocoholic. Max Brenner's a great place to curb your sweet tooth. The location at 14th Street is definitely my favorite.

So let me begin with saying I usually don't review restaurants. So... Yesterday I visited Max Brenner in New York City. I thought Max Brenner as classy completely, from style through the presentation. Everyone at this restaurant incredibly nice! The meal was excellent. The food came out very quick. Even though virtually no serious complaints. My husband and I had a terrific evening! So refreshing with there being numerous New York eating places that are terrible.
