   Vibe was cool but that was it. Food and drinks were overpriced for the taste and quality. Service was non-existent.

   The service was horrible. It took almost 30 min just to take a drink order. Our sever was no pleasant. Our appetizers were delivered with no utensils or plates. We had to eat over napkins that we took off of another table. Then one of our meals was forgotten. We asked 3 times where it was and on last time server said do you even still want it! YES we do want to eat! Our second round of drinks arrived after we were done with our meals. Overall the food wasn't bad so it's a shame that service was so horrible because we will never go back. Also note that a 20% tip is added no matter how the service was and how many people are in your group. Maybe if they didn't do that the servers would actually try!

   Establishment a little small. But ambiance and food are delicious. Staff are also really pleasant and accommodating. Just a bit sad the drinks and desserts are all priced so high.

   Made a reservation and there was a miscommunication where others kept getting sat before us. Once the manager realized what was happening they took care of us and made sure everything else ran smoothly. Overall it was a great experience with kids, the staff was friendly and accommodating. A dinner my kids won’t forget… definitely order the large ice cream dish- it comes complete with singing and dancing staff!

   BEWARE!! Service is very poor. Server didn’t apologize for making us wait 20 minutes to take our drink order. Food and drinks came to the table incomplete. I had to ask the waiter where the rest of the drinks and food was and once again didn’t apologize. Gratuity of 20% was automatically included even though we had a party of 4. As per the check, it states that they will add 20% even for a party of ONE! When I expressed how disappointing this to the server, her response was well “it’s the area” and she walked away! I will never EVER go there again!!

   Music was way too loud. Was listed as a family friendly place yet no kids menu. Expected it to be a fun atmosphere. Food was pricey but very good

   Our experience at The Sugar Factory was fair. We were there on a Thursday afternoon at 1:00pm and they would only let us order off the breakfast menu. The breakfast menu said they only offer breakfast food on SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS until 4pm, so I am unsure why we couldn't order off the lunch menu. The tables next to us asks these same questions when they went to order as well. The server seemed disinterested and bored with his job. For us The Sugar Factory is a one and done kind of thing. Also, there were too many things we tried to order but could not because they were out. For example, they offer drinks and desserts with cotton candy but they had none. If you are not going to replace items you need to make the drinks and desserts take those off of your menu. The server told us they had not had cotton candy in a long time. Our experience at Serendipity was far better. Try it once and move on to other better restaurants who appreciate your business.

   The place is over rated and dirty. The table was dirty and so was the fork and knives. The windows haven’t been washed in years and the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. They also added. Their own tip on a table of 4 which is wrong. Never ever again

    The atmosphere was fun and they had a lot of Christmas decorations up which was nice. The menu is extensive. The service was fine. But the food was just ok, especially for what they charge. The whole place is in need of a good cleaning. The tables were sticky and the wall next to our table was covered in food splatter. The bathrooms were dirty and sections of the tile floor in the restaurant were missing. You could tell they put a lot of effort into decorating but maybe they need to put more effort into cleaning.
