Pretty decent dessert. Ten bucks for a nice dessert with a suprisingly classy atmosphere. We got the sampler, and most of them were pretty good (the whoopie pie was awesome. Not at all like the cheap ones you can get prepackaged)

I would go back.

Yummy desserts. What's not to like at Finale. I have a real sweet tooth and sometimes things just aren't right for me. Finale had exactly what I was looking for. I tried the Boston Creme Pie and really enjoyed it.

Boston Worst Desert. Finale may have been great in the past but not anymore. Went recently and tried two deserts - the Boston Cream Pie and Molten Chocolate. Too Sweet! If you want the taste of real Boston Cream Pie forget it. Cappucino was cold. This was my finale at Finale.

Romantic setting and a clear focus on all things sweet make this the area's premier dessert destination.. The Scene
Finale's handsome, softly-lit dining room provides an ideal pre- or post-show spot for couples on a date to the nearby Theater District. An overhead demonstration mirror affords a view of the pastry chefs that construct Finale's signature desserts. Young, friendly waiters are pleased to recommend selections from the epic drink list.

The Food
Dessert is the focus, but there's also a respectable light dinner menu that allows patrons to enjoy a well-rounded meal without getting too full before the sweet stuff. Smart options include the rosemary-rubbed chicken Caesar salad and a Mediterranean pizza. Most diners skip the savory items and dive straight into desserts, like a divine, baked-to-order molten-chocolate gateau or the caramel carnivale (caramel mousse layered between puff pastry and served with fresh fruit in raspberry puree). Advanced sweet tooths should opt for the Temptation for Two, an assortment plate of cakes, gelato and mousse.

Great desserts, fun place!!!. I had a great experience at Finale's with a group of friends. The desserts were very enjoyable and it was a fun place to finish off a long day of trekking through the town. I recommend going on a weekday when it is not too busy, as the space does fill up quick.

Good stuff!!!
