Best

Our child loved this place. Lots of other families here and good selection of Yummy sweet stuff. Much for kids to look at and keep busy...

Worst

I always wanted to go to this place after seeing the movie. It was a disappoinment. The service was slow, the food so-so. The frozen hot chocolate was good but pricey. The chocola...

Frozen Hot Chocolates!! 7/24/2002

Most likely have to wait an hour...but the frozen hot chocolates are sooo worth it on a hot summer afternoon. The inside is really fantastic as well....The price is on the pricey side though...so eat somewhere else and just go straight for the dessert. Pros: frozen hot chocolate Cons: long wait, bad staff, expensive more

Sweet Serendipity 7/23/2002

Yummy is the only word I can think of to describe their famous frozen hot chocolates! The food is hit and miss. My entree was not too shabby while my friend's was just plain unpalatable. The food is somewhat expensive. more

good and bad 7/15/2002

A friend and I went to Serendipity because we had heard so much about it. Our waiter was actually pretty nice, but then, we are really nice. But the host was kind of a jerk. However, I agree with the one person that said the customers were obnoxious. It was like snobby's day out. We overheard lots of conversations from people sitted around us. It was too yuppie and snobby and people trying to be trendy. Its funny how people trying to be classy end up just acting snobby. anyways, we only had the frozen hot chocolates, which i thought were pretty good. Pros: good food, nice environment Cons: snobby people there more

Just Fabulous! OK, so it doesn't have a kids menu (they claim the misinformation on this site is not their doing) We stayed anyway, in spite of the hour wait to get in (there's great window shopping on the block) AND GLAD WE DID! There were many (huge) portion choices for us all. The food was very good. The staff was charming and efficient which was remarkable for such a busy place. But I can't understand the impatience of some self appointed elitist customer types ... This place is so busy. Our waiter was on top of everything even though he had another large table running him ragged. The staff should be commended for THEIR patience! Well be back! Pros: food, service, atmosphere Cons: difficult to reserve, too small more

3 Words: Frozen Hot Chocolate is 6/9/2002

I've never actually had dinner here, because I wanted to make sure I would have enough room for the stupendous frozen hot chocolate. One is big enough for at least 2 people, so bring a date and share. I always bring my out-of-town guests here and they all love it. more

overcrowded and overpriced 6/2/2002

The desserts are great, but overpriced. Don't waste your time and money eating regular food here, just go straight for the sugar. The two hour wait during peak hours is ludicrous! I wouldn't recomend this place except...mmm, those desserts. more

Some tips for tourists 5/31/2002

Serendipity has some of the best desserts in NYC. YES, you're going to wait awhile, and the service is not always going to be quick, but that's usually because many people come from all over to eat here. And this IS NY so don't go expecting to get value for your money. Go as late as you can for dessert (eat dinner someplace else) and wait outside for your table. But definitely go. So worth it. more

It was okay. 5/27/2002

I must say that I was drawn to this place after watching Serendipity the movie since it was so sweet. The only thing I ordered was the frozen hot chocolate because it's supposed to be a favorite there. However, it wasnt that great. I wasn't really expecting a chunk of frozen hot chocolate. I just thought that was the name for the ice cream. As for the service, it was okay as long. I didn't find anyone rude. It was just a normal place. I found the inside to be a bit dark though. But the lamps where quite pretty. more

Serendipity is worth the trip 5/24/2002

As an ice cream addict, I knew I wanted to visit Serendipity 3 on my first trip to NYC last week, but I wasn't sure what to expect after reading all the bad reviews on this site. I was pleasantly surprised. The man working the register in the small gift shop was extremely friendly and our waiter was polite and courteous. The desserts were heavenly! I'm not sure the people who wrote the bad reviews went to the same restaurant. I will definitely visit Serendipity on my next trip to NYC. Pros: Delicious desserts, prompt service, friendly service more
