The first is the super moist and extremely tasty Bourbon Barrel Cake (candy pecans, caramel and vanilla bean ice cream). This dessert is a must-try at the eatery, especially because it’s drizzled with their special house bourbon caramel sauce that is out-of-this-world good! The second is their American Chocolate Budino (salted caramel, peanut butter whip and almonds), which is otherwise known as the restaurant’s popular chocolate pudding.
