    Very expensive for a small serving of pasta. Desserts are pretty good, but also expensive. Not bad, but not worth the price.

    The servers were pleasant. The alcoholic drinks are overpriced Anna’s had mostly ice and hardly any alcohol in them. The chocolate fondue tasted fine but wasn’t really exceptional. The floors were worn down abs or tables were uneven and shaky. I excepted more from the name brand.

    My friend and I had a very good dinner and a delicious dessert! We arrived early so had a chance to chat while things were very quiet and even as the restaurant got busier, the noise level was not too bad. Our waiter was very pleasant and we look forward to coming back again.

    The 80s milkshake saved this from being a one star review. The burgers were definitely heated-up frozen patties. Fries were cold and dry. Service was okay. Minimum interaction, pleasant enough, but not engaging. Volume was LOUD, so very difficult to hear others. Definitely not something I would do again. Our bill for two burgers, a kids meal, and milkshake was over $100. Not abominable by NYC standards, but too high given the poor quality of food.

    The six of us went for a birthday celebration. Food and desserts were good. Service was sub standard overall from previous experiences there. I'm not sure if they were short staffed or some just couldn't understand us. But had to request several times water refills etc.

    The entrées were amazing. So much so that I wanted to get another order of mine for dessert. I wish I had because the desserts were awful. The cookie skillet arrived cold and hard. The crepe was so rubbery it was difficult to cut. The waiter was nice enough but a majority of the meal was spent thirst as our drinks were never refilled.

    Phenomenal!! Very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious and dessert was scrumptious. Ended up ordering more dessert because the kiddos loved it.
