Fodor's Review:
This outpost of San Francisco's famed Ghirardelli chocolatier specializes in chocolate bars and ice cream, served in every size and form from a single scoop in a freshly baked waffle cone, to elaborate sundaes, malts, and banana splits. For 25 bucks, ambitious types can attempt the Earthquake Sundae, a well of eight different ice creams, eight toppings, bananas, nuts, embarrassing quantities of whipped cream, and heaps of glistening red cherries. This is the perfect "time-out" place for families with children, but in truth, adults usually are in the majority. It's an oasis of old-fashioned calm in the explosive Gaslamp Quarter.
