Previously there were large construction walls surrounding the restaurant, but now they have been removed and the building is now just partitioned off by a simple barricade.

In addition to a large inside eatery, there is outdoor patio seating off to one side.

They have made quite a bit of progress on the building. It was only in October that we reported that scrims covered all the smokestacks and there was very little detail on the façade.

The building has a very steampunk feel to it with lots of aesthetics inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery including metal finishes, rivets, bolts, and gears.

We were able to take a peek to see what the inside of the restaurant looks like and found there has been lots of progress made to date.

If this is like the other Toothsome locations, this area will be where guests can purchase gourmet chocolates, fudge, freshly baked cookies, and other sweet treats. Guests will also be able to purchase Toothsome Chocolate Emporium-themed merchandise here as well.

Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen is also known for some decadent milkshakes that can be ordered table-side or to-go. Some shakes that have been offered in the past include a Marshmallow Crisp shake that has vanilla ice cream, rice crispies, marshmallow fluff, whipped cream, and a Rice Krispy treat precariously balanced on top.
