10) Finale's Creme Brulee' - Dessert, Wine - H Square - There are desert haunts - yes, those that serve great molten cake (Rialto) and Michigan Cherry Pie (Pesti Pies), boston cream (ooh, and german chocolate) cakes (Rosies') and upside down pineapple loafs (Mike's). And then, there is Finale. Set in a 1950 theatre cafe fashion with red velvet upholstery (speaking of red velvet - Sweet on the Square has a todiefor $2 mini red velvet cupcake) this desert and wine cafe (they serve salads and sandwiches at lunch and as non dessert dinners) makes the world's best (yes, best) Creme Brulee. My favourite birthday celebration gimmick is to have one of the pastry chefs brulee the creme at the table - the crispy sugar crust gives even the molten chocolate cake (moist, warm, with berries) a run for its money. Find a table by the window after dinner and end a H square meal (preferably, a light H square meal) with a (shared?) creme brulee. Should you be in the mood (and why would you not?), splurge on the sherry flight : what better finale to a night?
