Had an great experience at Sugar Bar Restaurant. The food great. The appetizer could have been a little hotter for my taste. The drinks was good. Had a little mix up with my drink at first but when brought to the servers attention it was corrected. The atmosphere was great a little jazz music was playing thru out the restaurant which was great. Overall the atmosphere,food,music and the staff was great too deal with. Would recommend the Sugar Bar Restaurant too anyone looking for an nice cool place to relax and enjoy an good southern meal

We had the best experience, a place was intimate. Everyone was friendly, upbeat, and happy the music of course was incredible and all the talented people that got up and sang it was open Mic night. However, there were some famous people that were there and sang dinner was fabulous. Reasonably priced service was exceptional. Charles was our waiter. He was so on top of it. We left their feeling so good and had so much fun. We didn't even leave until almost midnight.

Happy Hour from 4-7PM!! Check out the open mic on Thursday nights 8PM- BEST IN THE CITY!!!!

One of the best--if not the overall very best--Sunnday Brunch spots in NYC! The staff here is excellent, and the place is warm and friendly. The cornbread is always DELICIOUS, although they are quite stingy with the cuts--a one quarter slice is carved for two people. The meals are always super-duper delicious! We always have an EXCELLENT meal at the Sugar Bar Restaurant, the place we prefer to call Ashford & Simpson's Restaurant. Wonderful restaurant and friendly, capable staffing; we especially appreciate the waiter, Dominic, and the wonderful hostess who always greets us at the entrance with a smile and courtesy., and seats us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Michael Meyers, president, New York Civil Rights Coalition P.S. Appreciate your taking our suggestion to go back to the full-plate of hominy grits.

Our waitress took our orders but only one order was served first and 20 minutes later the rest of the other three orders was served. Smh 🤦‍♀️ wasn't happy with the service because she didn't even check in with us and tell us while we were waiting for our dinner to arrive.

Fantastic service and great spot after seeing a great play. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

I've visited Sugar Bar over 10 years ago and the food, service and ambience was amazing! I traveled back and was highly disappointed as hostess sat us in the back of the restaurant, after 15 min waiting for our server, we asked to be moved to the bar. The drinks (lemon drop) and appetizers were less then desirable. Everyone was certainly pleasant.
