The Olive Bar/Acqua Restaurant, San Diego, California

The bar/restaurant in the San Diego Hilton Mission Bay Resort and Hotel. Pretty standard hotel restaurant although they do offer tables next to fire pits for a warm cozy morning or evening meal outdoors.

(I have the photo somewhere, just have to find it)

Presentation:
Served in a round bowl of medium depth. Garnished with strawberries.

Crust:
Crust was thin and not burnt with a classic flavor.

Custard:
Custard was light with definite vanilla overtones. The texture was moist and light almost to the point of a pudding consistency.

Overall Impression:
Pretty typical acceptable creme brulee except with slightly more liquidy custard than I prefer. Overall, it's pretty classic nothing really impresses or detracts. It does come in a pretty good size so it can easily be shared without feeling like you don't get a full dessert.

Rating:
2/5
