Never judge a dessert by the restaurant's name. I dined at Old Ebbitt Grill in DC (recommended by a friend of mine), and was not only blown away by the delicious food, but the desserts as well.
My absolute favorite was the Butterscotch Blondie Sundae with warm vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. And I normally despise butterscotch. But this euphoric amazing dessert was just perfect - the butterscotch was not overwhelming, the brownie was chewy, perfectly dense, and moise, and the ice cream (whatever brand it was) complimented it wonderfully. Oh drool...I *highly* recommend getting this.
Another great dessert was the Peanut Butter Mousse. Yeah, the dessert didn't come half gone...that was me inhaling it before I remembered I had to take a picture of it! Happens often. It was very well balanced, great consistency (I've been watching too much Top Chef), and I only left a few bites because I was fearful of not fitting into my clothes the next day.
And it would be fitting that the fancy restaurant named 1789 would not have the desserts live up to snuff for such a prestigious sounding name. (The food was great though.) Their plain cheesecake, on the other hand, was plain.
