About the restaurant

The name is legendary. The experience unforgettable. Immerse yourself in the brilliant colors of this lakeside destination and prepare for a meal as bold and transcendent as your surroundings. Le Cirque's opulent dining room, designed by Adam D. Tihany, exudes celebration, setting the stage for an inimitable French menu that has drawn raves and accolades—including a perennial AAA Five Diamond Award rating and Forbes Travel Guide 5 Star Rating —since the restaurant’s creation by Sirio Maccioni . A coveted wine list and attentive service complete an evening at Le Cirque—one that will remain in your memory for years to come.

Had some time between Fallout Fringe Festival shows to have an early dinner/drink session at Craft Creamery. All prices are listed as Happy Hour/Regular. Began with the Mole, Mole, Mole ($14/$16): A creation of Chris Militello's, who also happened to be manning the bar this evening. Gave a low-level steady spicy bite on the tongue, quite smooth. Smashed Sliders ($14/$16): Three tasty morsels, nicely crisped edges on the meat without squishing out all the juices within. Good melty cheese, flavorful sauce, crunchy pickle, sweet buns. Ube Wan Kenobi ($13/$15): Dreamed up by Amanda Lopez, a sweet creamy delight. Beignet ($8/$10): Three ping pong ball sized, sugar-and-cocoa dusted, airy inside/thin shell fried outside treats. Came with a scoop of elote ice cream but honestly did not detect that flavor. Value: Pretty great, especially during Happy Hour. Service: Attentive without hovering from Chris and Matt Katschka. etc- Happy Hour runs from 3 to 7pm as of this review. Hat tip to the speakeasy owners/managers for giving the drink inventors credit in print and online in the menu.

About the restaurant

I Love Sugar Candy Martini Bar

Much more than a candy store. I LOVE SUGAR is the world’s most incrEDIBLE candy experience.

Founded in 2012 with a vision to innovate the candy store industry.

Pushing the boundaries with state of the art design and extreme attention to detail is what we believe makes shoppers often refer to I LOVE SUGAR as "the Apple store of candy".

The ability to execute dream-like creativity has led the brand to an intellectual property library that consists of over 20 design patents and trademarks.

Combine that with every type of candy imaginable, mix it with love and an iconic brand, I LOVE SUGAR was born.

Staff was very nice and the space very comfortable. They have a policy if you don’t like your drink you can ask to have a different one made which is great. The chicken wings were tasty. Great place to go for a few drinks and snacks and to socialize.
