    Food was very good, service was great, and I was able to make a short notice reservation late on a Saturday night. And of course, we had something chocolate! The only issue is that we could feel the cold air every time the door opened - but then again this is NYC in November! Maybe they could put some type of barrier around the door to help control or redirect the draft. Overall, we had a great time!

    The waiter was nice was terribly overwhelmed. We had to ask for plates, forks, napkins, water, etc. MULTIPLE times. Don’t go here for the actual food, which is fairly bad. My chicken was so garlicky that my kid asked what the horrible smell was. Yeah, that smell is my inedible chicken. Just go for dessert, which is really fun, if you can put up with the harried service and ear-splitting sound levels.

    Our server was so sweet and very attentive, regularly bringing over water and checking on us. The food and drinks all came out at the perfect time, never had to wait long for any of it.

    We have been going to this restaurant since it first opened and this was the first time that the food was horrible. So disappointed.

    My 11 year old nephew highly recommends the marshmallow milk hot chocolate. It was amazing! We preferred the chicken fingers over the burger. Our server was really nice and very friendly.

    Chocolate fondue was disappointing. Very little fruit - mostly bananas and marshmallows, weird chunks of soft waffles and muffins which were not particularly appetizing for dipping. Chocolate itself was sickey sweet.

    My breakfast skillet had an entire onion. Don’t get anything savory here. Only the sweets are good. Espresso martini just ok. Had to beg the waiter for water & took 30 min to get the check. The back booth had the faux leather material falling off. Chocolate gift shop didn’t have any boxed gift sets under $60
