Trellis has great desserts, but the rest leaves something to be desired. But yeah, when I was in my first year of law school and my spirit was not yet broken, I had a slice of the death by chocolate and some tea in between classes once. I think I gave the waiter like a 50% tip because of how good it was lol. Can you buy their cakes whole though? Did not know that. Come to think of it, I think you can buy whole cakes at 2nd Street Cafe too, can't you? Eh, oh well. Mom (and I) likes cakes that has both fruit and chocolate in them, so I think the Black Forest cake will do well. I've booked dinner at the Williamsburg Inn and my bro is going to be here too, and I bought a bottle of Chanel perfume, so I think I'm quite pleased with my effort. Just have to remember to get a card tomorrow.

 

yea the trellis is not what it used to be. there has been alot of changes and not for the better. but there desserts are still on point. our head chef which I work with, worked at the trellis for 22 years so he has told me of all the things that been happening. but anyways Im sure your mother will enjoy whatever you got her.

 

So, that is a "yes" to can you buy whole cakes to go from the trellis?

 

do u work at that old retirement home over by High Street?

 

They had a Black Forest cake a Harris Teeter too

 

yep

 

thought so, the executive chef's wife works as a chef over at Harris Teeter [where I work]. I get to hear about the Trellis all the time.

 

haha cool yea our chef is a cool guy he really knows his stuff. from what I hear his wife is really good as well.

 

yea, she knows her shit too. She was under him at the Trellis, and is a very hard worker [something that comes rare where I work at]. She just doesn't have the time to do everything that she wants to do because of kids, but that is a part of getting older and life.

 

You must have missed a post - that's where I got it.
