Tue May 02 01:49:42 -0700 2006 0 kevin 1 1238929 Never been to chickalicious, but I can say that Room 4 Deserts was disappointing. 1) Deserts were OK. You can watch them assemble everything at the bar, but I could tell everything was sitting around and was often stale. 2) The atmoshphere is horrible and not set up for conversation at all. Thank god I have a girlfriend, but the few people I know who had "match.com" / first dates hated the place for this reason. 3) Finally- Nothing stood out. Maybe it is me, but if I were to open a place based strictly around deserts, I would bring a lot more creativity and qualtiy to the table. Have not tried Chickalicios, but would skip room 4 desert all together and go to WD-50 for their desert tasting menu.

Tue May 02 09:01:59 -0700 2006 1238929 0 dd 3 1238945 agreed again. If you must do one of the two...I'd recommend Chikalicious. But the desserts at WD~50 by Sam Mason are really great.

Can you split it with a partner or do you have to order 2? Tue May 02 12:01:05 -0700 2006 1238945 0 D-NY 5 1239026 If I recall it is either $25 or $35 per person depending on the # of courses.
