We were able to catch the Cocoa Lounge popup chocolate buffet at the Palm Terrace Restaurant before it closes this Sunday. The Cocoa Lounge is a clever marketing concept to get people into the Palm Terrace restaurant that would not normally think to visit. The food in the restaurant looked good but it was your typical fare for an upscale hotel restaurant.
The Cocoa Lounge had a good selection of treats. To be honest we were not blown away by it but I would not solely take our view of it. We have had the pleasure of visiting many nice hotels because of the travel required from our day jobs, so these types of desserts would be expected. However, this is the first time we have seen so many on display in one venue. In addition, they had some spectacular chocolate sculptures that made it an enjoyable experience.
