    Service was exceptional, with staff members knowledgeable about the menu and quick to make recommendations. The atmosphere felt both lively and intimate, with soft Greek music playing in the background. Food portions are awesome! Thumbs up!

    Sugar Bar is a vibe!! I drove from Baltimore to visit. The hospitality, food, ambiance and bartender Terrell all top notch. Thursdays entertainment is worth the drive. One thing we did have a comment on is the cover charge for the upstairs. You watch the entertainment on a tv. We got paying the cover charge for the main room. My thoughts were the cover charge is for the host possibly. Either way, it is so worth visiting!!! We had an amazing time.

    The food was amazing. I would suggest the shrimp mofongo. The ambience is very tight so it sometimes feels like you are sitting with another party but that’s NYC. I would highly suggest it.
