How to Choose Your Dessert

Choosing the perfect dessert at Mac's Raw Bar can be overwhelming with how many wonderful treats we have, but it can also be a delightful experience. Here are our tips for choosing the best dessert for you:

• Know your cravings: Before you dive into a dessert menu, it's essential to know what you are in the mood for. Do you prefer fruity or chocolatey desserts? Are you a fan of light, fluffy desserts, or do you prefer something richer and more decadent? Knowing your likes and dislikes can help you narrow down your options and find the perfect dessert.
• Ask for recommendations: If you're unsure about what to choose, don't be afraid to ask for recommendations from your server. The staff at Mac's Raw Bar are very knowledgeable and can help guide you to the perfect dessert. Let them know your preferences, and they will recommend something delicious.
• Consider sharing: Sometimes, it can be hard to pick just one so why not try them all? Our desserts are generously portioned and sharing them amongst the table can be a wonderful experience. This way, you can try multiple desserts without overindulging and have a fun discussion about which was best.
• Try something new: While it's good to know your preferences, trying something new can also be exciting. If you typically go for chocolate desserts, try a fruity one. If you've never had a tart before, give it a try. You might discover something new and delicious.
• Don't skip the drinks menu: Pairing a dessert with the right drink can elevate the entire dining experience. Mac's Raw Bar has an extensive drink menu, including ports, sherry, and dessert wines. Ask your server for recommendations to help enhance your dessert experience.

The Delightful Options

Key Lime Pie

Mac’s Key Lime Pie uses a chiffon-style key lime filling for a lighter, fluffier texture than traditionally dense key lime pie. The zesty key lime custard is vibrantly tangy and refreshing. For the crust, crunchy graham crackers are combined with coconut and macadamia nuts, providing tropical flavors and crunch. Before serving, the pie is decorated with swirls of sweet mango puree, made from ripe mangoes. This is the ideal refreshing finish after one of Mac's Raw Bar's seafood feasts.

Crumble Cake

For a dessert that mixes warm cake with cool ice cream, order the Crumble Cake. It starts with a honey brown butter crumble cake, with a moist crumb and crunchy, buttery streusel topping. The cake is served warm, accompanied by a vibrant blueberry compote made from local berries. Their juicy sweet-tart flavor perfectly balances the rich cake. Finally, a scoop of toasted pistachio gelato from a local ice creamery provides a nutty flavor and creamy contrast. 

Chocolate Mousse Pie

For the chocolate lover, Mac's Chocolate Mousse Pie is a dream dessert. It starts with an Oreo cookie crumb crust that provides texture and a crunchy contrast to the smooth mousse filling. Next, rich chocolate mousse made from bittersweet chocolate and heavy cream is piled high within the crust. To finish it off, pillowy fresh whipped cream is heaped on top of the pie. Each spoonful delivers cool, creamy chocolate along with cookie crunch. It's deeply chocolatey yet refreshing enough to enjoy after any of Mac's Raw Bar's spicy or savory seafood specialties. 

Lemon Blueberry Donuts

For a fresh, fruity twist on classic donuts, order the Lemon Blueberry Donuts. These beignet-style donut holes are fried piping hot and crisp. While still warm, they get dunked in a tangy lemon glaze that perfectly complements the sweet yeast donuts. Next, they're rolled in powdered sugar for a light coating of sweetness. The donuts are served atop a blueberry compote, bursting with just-picked local blueberries cooked down into jammy, syrupy deliciousness. Each bite delivers a balance of bright citrus and tart blueberries contrasting with the hot, sugary donuts.

Strawberry Shortcake

For a fruity treat, order the Strawberry Shortcake showcasing sweet, juicy strawberries. It starts with a base of fluffy biscuit halves soaked in strawberry juice and piled high with ripe strawberry slices. They're topped with delicious strawberry-balsamic gelato. The gelato provides creamy decadence infused with the fruity tang of strawberry and subtle complexity from aged balsamic vinegar. Finally, everything is topped with the perfect amount of freshly whipped cream. Each creamy, fruity bite captures the essence of strawberry. It's the perfect light and seasonal dessert after a seafood feast.

Sweet Libations

Don't forget to end your Mac's Raw Bar dining experience with a delicious dessert drink! Alongside our creamy and fruity desserts, Mac's offers a selection of after-dinner libations like the Paolucci Lemoncello from Italy. This bright yellow lemon liqueur captures pure lemon essence with a crisp, sweet finish. For a rich, syrupy dessert wine, try the R.L. Buller & Son Solera Muscat "Sticky" from South Australia, with luscious, honeyed stone fruit flavors. Or opt for the Crost 10-Year Tawny Port from Portugal's Douro region, which delivers flavors of nutty caramel and raisins.
