Serendipity 3 New York Reviews from The Last Year
Great food and fun atmosphere.
The service is excellent. Natalie said it is her new favorite restaurant and Aly loved the frozen hot chocolate.
Serendipity 3 is another NY institution that was high on my
Serendipity 3 is another NY institution that was high on my bucket list. I remember first hearing about this place and their frozen hot chocolate from my sister years ago. We were in Las Vegas and she wanted to visit their location at Caesar's Palace because of the 2001 movie "Serendipity" starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale. I only watched the movie a couple of years ago but I have been wanting to visit the original shop in New York. My cousin and I headed here for dessert one evening. We were super lucky that we were actually seated at the same table John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale sat at in the movie. It's located upstairs in front of the fireplace. This place is famous for their frozen hot chocolate that even Jackie O. was a fan, it's said that she even asked for the recipe for a party she was throwing, the owner declined but offered to make it for her. The recipe has since been released to the public. I ordered their S'mores Frrrozen Hot Chocolate $21.95. It's pretty good but it's a lot. It's too much for a person to finish by themselves. However, they do have a minimum purchase of $18.95 per person, so my cousin had to order his own dessert. I do feel a bit bad for the food waste, since in no way did either of us get through even half of our desserts. I'd suggest maybe one person ordering a dessert and the other order something savory to balance it out. Overall a cute ice cream shop. They do have a mini gift shop near their host stand at the front for souvenir purchases.
We got appetizers instead of actual meals, and the potatoes
We got appetizers instead of actual meals, and the potatoes were so good! Our waitresses were great as well. Serendipity is such a cute and fun place to go to, I would definitely recommend going on your next trip to NYC!
This is a nice place to get some fun desserts.
I definitely recommend the frozen hot chocolates. I got the original which tastes like a chocolate milkshake and my fiancé got an Oreo one. They are pretty big so two people can definitely share if you're ordering other items. We also got nachos with fried chicken and wagyu sliders. The nachos were okay but the sliders were pretty delicious. Most items / apps on the menu are around $20 an item. Great place for kids especially on their birthdays!
Great food and amazing desserts!
I went with my teen daughter on a recent trip to NYC and she loved it. Beyond the desserts they are known for, the dinner was excellent casual fare as well. Her desert was amazing and really large! They sang happy birthday to many tables throughout the night so would be great for that too! .

The service was friendly, the food was great, and the sundae was amazing!! Thanks for a great time!
Amazing service and food! The music is a great mix of 60s
Amazing service and food! The music is a great mix of 60s through to the 2000s. It is also a very kid friendly place with a little shop at the front! Our waitress told us that the fries and golden sundae have never been ordered! All the things in the expensive section are fully covered jn 24k edible gold!! So far the best ice-cream place I have ever been. Our waitress (Akeena)was also very good, she was nice to us and answers all of our questions! Definitely deserves a raise!
NYC Trip
I’ve visited Serendipity 3 many times, and I’m from California. My last visit was with family, and my cousin’s first time in NYC. I finally got to sit upstairs, it was amazing since that’s where the Serendipity movie took place, and the ambiance and the employees at Serendipity were attentive and hospitable. Making a reservation is highly recommended due to its popularity and space of the restaurant.
Very Busy. Unique Dessert Diner
Food was good. Service was excellent. Very high end desserts are their specialty. Lots of children present! It you are in the area, and want a very good, very expensive dessert, then I would recommend it. The food was just OK. Probably will not be back unless we are in the neighborhood.
Made a 10:45p reservation for after our 7p Hamilton show.
Gave us enough time to meander through time square before catching an Uber over. (If you skip people watching at time square, you may be able to make it at 10:30...though there were open tables that you could probably walk-in and get seated). Didn't realize this until researching, booking a res, and then seeing on the menu...they require a min purchase of about $20 per person! A bit steep, but it is what it is. Most everything on the menu is about $20, so everyone would need to order one thing, either savory or sweet. Service was super friendly. They close at 11p, and they weren't super pushy to get you out, which was nice. We ordered a decent amount of food. The only thing we left on the table was the frozen hot chocolate. Should have ordered two portions of the boneless buffalo wings bc those things were great!! So were the fries. Cute decor and vibe to the place. Will probably come back one day.
Can’t wait to go here again!
A wonderful experience! The staff was helpful and efficient, and the frozen hot chocolate was outstanding!! Can’t wait to go here again!
Expensive, but big portions, so plan to share
Frozen hot chocolate is, of course, the thing you want to order here. Ours were delicious. The space is loud, but in a fun way. Food was so-so, fine but expensive. Main recommendation: everything is huge, so unless you have an enormous appetite order with a plan to share. Even doing that you'll still come in over the $18.95 minimum spend per person.
Absolute fever dream of a dining experience.
Comically large menus, hot sweats, shaking, awful vibes and random flash photography -- 10/10.
As long as you know what you're getting yourself into,
As long as you know what you're getting yourself into, you'll be fine. This place has been around forever but it's never been known for great food. The best thing we had was their famous Frozen Hot Chocolate. Only finished half of a burger and some of the appetizers. We didn't even eat fries as they tasted like they'd been cooked in old oil. Service was great and kept them at 4 stars. Cute place, cute merch.
Fun for kids!
Very fun spot, especially with young kids! The portions are very large and the food is good. But the real treat is the frozen hot chocolate. We had one cookies and cream and one chocolate mint. Both were so good but the cookies and cream was excellent! Definitely worth a stop.
Completely overrated.
Theres nothing I could recommend about this place. Maybe take a peak inside the door to see the inside, but thats it. Extremely over priced, the service isn't good (they auto add gratuity so they don't care) and the atmosphere is dirty.
Food was amazing! Portions were big and desert was
Food was amazing! Portions were big and desert was PHENOMENAL! Service was nice and sang happy birthday to me! Only problem was when it gets busy, which it almost always is, service is hard to get. Other than that, everything was good! Especially the decor!
Nothing in the world like Frozen Hot Chocolate
Serendipity is an iconic New York institution. The frozen hot chocolate is something you can rely on in this crazy, falling apart world. I hadn't been to Serendipity in over a decade. The frozen hot chocolate is amazing, as it has always bee. And the overall experience at the restaurant has improved. You can now make a reservation! Our server was so friendly, as was the hostess.
Disappointing
Just very disappointed. We came for the frozen hot chocolate but decided to have lunch as well. We ordered a hot dog which was drenched in mustard to the point where it was unpalatable. The chicken burger was very dry. The desert was just bland & not very exciting. The staff were very enthusiastic & helpful. Top marks to them.
Cute restaurant that caters to kids and families
I heard this was a cute restaurant with great desserts when I booked it. However, this restaurant is more suited for people with children and tweens. My college-aged daughter and I were annoyed by all the kids running around and parents not giving a care in the world (this was one large group in the restaurant). The restaurant is small so when a few kids run around and scream, they are literally right in your face. Not the dinner we had hoped to have. Food was overpriced -- we paid $13.90 for two Diet Cokes! Food was fine and dessert was huge -- can be shared by multiple people. We spent over $100 for 2 people for dinner, Diet Cokes and one dessert. I would have preferred to have spent that money somewhere that caters to more of an adult crowd.
Never disappoints
Made a last minute reservation this past Saturday. When we arrived we were seated immediately. Our waiter Josue was friendly and efficient. Brought my 7 year old niece for her first visit. We started with a frozen hot chocolate which was delicious and the look on her face was priceless. The girls had Mac and cheese and I had the sliders, wanted to save room for dessert. We ended with the cowards banana split 3 scoops of ice cream v. 6. Everyone left happy and full. Good time, a NYC classic.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
