This is a Must go to place! Went today with my boyfriend and we were both very much pleased! Today we went for breakfast buffet which was an absolutley Amazing experience from the moment we walked in. Customer Service was Amazing and very friendly. We really liked how they cook everything fresh for you on the spot! The price is very reasonable and their food is delicious and fresh! We will definitely be going back! Chicken Waffles, Bacon Waffles and so much more! The restaurant is Beautiful as well as the food! Everyone there is very Professional and Friendly!
Very mediocre food with a delightful atmosphere. Our appetizer was great (fried Brussels sprouts) and our bread was fantastic with a chocolate butter, but the actual food was bland. It sounded very extravagant on the menu but it was extremely mediocre. I did not enjoy the burger, chicken or fish and would have rather eaten at home. The cake was extremely rich. I cannot stress how rich this cake was as it was at least two steps above a flourless chocolate cake. However, I still enjoyed it. I think a better alternative (if you were to venture to this place) would be to just get drinks and appetizers.
A+!! Wow. My friend and I just visited here for the first time for their Sunday brunch. From the warm environment, the gorgeous fireplace and perfect lighting, to the beautiful and scrumptious buffet: eggs Benedict, bacon, sausage, freshly sliced sirloin, made to order waffle stick creations and omelets, the scones, the pastries, the mini crème brûlée deserts, cake pops, cookies, brownies…the buffet list goes on… the freshly ground coffee that comes with adorable sugar cubes and mini dark chocolate sticks to stir- the freshly squeezed orange juice that brought back childhood memories; we literally felt like we had died and gone to Heaven ???? . The staff were all super kind and very accommodating, and the price was perfect for a tight pocket book. I’ve paid a lot more at restaurants for A LOT less. The Chocolate Sanctuary gets a 20 out of 10; we’re looking forward to going back for many more extremely enjoyable visits.
