Few can resist the temptation of fine chocolate. Throw into the mix a full bar with talented bartenders and tasty deserts, and they will need a stick to beat the hordes away. This place is stylish, though you do not need a suit and tie. This place is situated next to the Truckee River, which give this place ambiance both inside and outside. Try the chocolate fondue and a cocktail. Not recommended for those on the Atkin's diet! Yummy!
