great nyc dessert joint, strictly, be prepared to wait about an hour and a half for a table, don't be roped in to buying overpriced tourist trinkets or the mediocre diner food, eat dinner at another place, make a trip here, stick to the abundant spectacul ”
- “
Deserts are affordable, but only for few menues. ”
- “
think that the prices are reasonable! ”
- “
We went and had the frozen hot chocolate which they are known for, It was fantastic and worth the wait. ”
- “
The ambience, the fantastic deserts, the decor all of it was straight out of the movie and by far worth one if not several trips! ”
- “
There were children everywhere, the restaurant is terribly crowded with loud, subtly obnoxious people, and finally, not all that cheap considering what you were getting. ”
- “
The food was good, I ordered omelette, it was huge, I ordered frozen hot chocolate. ”
- “
It did, however, take 30 minutes for our waiter to take our order, but he was pleasant enough and the food was good and not terribly expensive. ”
- “
My husband signed on the check "overpriced awful food" and the waiter wasn't even offended, he was actually cracking up. ”
- “
The food is somewhat expensive. ”
- “
The Food, as well as desserts, is wonderful and served in abundant portions (and worth the prices). ”
- “
The portions are huge! ”
- “
While the wait is long, and the waitstaff is a bit pushy, this restaurant is completely worth the wait. ”
- “
The portions are very big. ”
- “
Serendipity was incredibly overrated, (the decor was not "whimsical" at all, and the food was way below average, as well as being very very overpriced! ”
- “
One of my favorite spots is this gem of a place where the food way over weighs the prices. ”
- “
The first time I went there Iwas expecting a magical experience, I was met with a near claustophbic attack due to bottleneck congestion in the foyer, andso so food, a huge frozen hot chocolate that frankly I could easily make at homeand a bill for 78.00. ”
- “
Btw, the price is ridiculous, what kind of an ice cream would be prized at 10 dollar? ”
- “
The generous portion of Frozen hot chocolate was yummy but not the fantasy it is advertised to be. ”
- “
The dessert prices and overall prices are reasonable. ”
- “
The prices are expensive but the portions are large. ”
- “
Things here are expensive, so if you really want to try the place out, have dessert, which really is wonderful and HUGE! ”
- “
The desserts were excellent but not worth the hassle, crowded environment or PRICE. ”
- “
the thumbs up - huge and delicious deserts. ”
- “
By the way, I order a cheeseburger which for 13 dollars was really small. ”
- “
And, although the food may seem overpriced to some, the portions are large and the food is very tasty. ”
- “
The food is way overpriced and not good, but the desserts are to die for and this is why this place is still going strong. ”
- “
But skip the overpriced entrees and appetizers; the dessert portions are gigantic and filling. ”
- “
I'm sure I'm not alone with being in shock of how expensive dining out has become in the last several months. ”
