| - Was doing a little shopping with my boyfriend in TS on Sunday and decided to stop into the new Sugar Factory for some brunch. The host station is outside and we started walking in. the hostess ended up walking us to the bar like we were being sat at a table, which was something Ive never had happen before. I appreciate this however it was a bit strange. I like the casual nature of going to a bar setting and being able to waltz in, check it out and pick where to sit... The bartender, Caley came over with a warm smile, explained the menu and let us know about some specials.
FOOD: It was ok.. for food, we ordered Blueberry Lemon Pancakes to share. those were pretty tasty.. I ordered the Benedict which looked better than it tasted, sadly. I felt like everything was so covered in salt that I didnt want to finish it. even the asparagus. My boyfriend got build your own omelette which was fine. next time we will try lunch items or more pancakes.
DRINKS: let me say, Im a brunch girl. seriously the biggest reason to come is if you enjoy a boozy brunch. gourmet mimosas and bloody marys (Im not sure if its all weekend or only Sunday) ...Get this: all unlimited for $20... so you can try all the different ones!!! we sampled some over the course of brunch.. a Bacon Bloody Mary with a spicy brown sugar rim (!!!!) and for mimosas we had a Blueberry Lemon mimosa, a Raspberry mimosa, and Tropical mimosa (which was my favorite)..we got to talking with Caley and she told us she moved from New York this summer and was at a mixology type bar there. she came up with these and is going to try out some new ones every Sunday.. Im already excited to make this my new spot on sundays. Ive been to the S.F. at Paris and they dont have specialty brunch cocktails like this. Not many places in Vegas do.
SERVICE: Caley was great... she knows what shes doing with a cocktail. Even while she was running around making drinks for the servers, she never stopped checking on us. We immediately felt like her friends. The busser (?) came and delivered the food. he seemed very professional and asked if we needed anything else, we needed some extra sauce and he promptly returned with it. there did seemed to be ALOT of managers on duty...almost like bouncers at a nightclub. all keeping a hawks eye on everything and were buzzing all around, which was slightly uncomfortable and excessive.
-1 star for the food/ weird atmosphere. Im sure it will get better as they get into the groove.
we will be back for more brunch cocktails, lunch, and happy hour.seems like a promising new addition to TS.. it seems they are still working out the kinks since they have just opened.
