Deliciousness - 4/5
Happiness - 3.5/5…read more
I love Magnum ice cream bars - the decadent chocolate always knocks my socks off and the ice cream is always flavor and creamy. So I wasn't about to pass up the chance to get my own custom made ice cream bar.
Basically you can have an ice cream bar dipped into thick milk chocolate or white chocolate coating and then drenched in toppings (you get three built in to the price). They make sure to absolutely coat every inch in topping, so it's worth the price. Although the bar lacked my favorite thing about the store brand (that thin liquidly layer of chocolate under the shell), it was still a more-than-decadent treat. They also have a decent amount of liquor offerings, and my wife (who was sticking strictly to gelato) opted for a high-end prosecco that was tasty and bubbly!
That said, many of the critiques are true. The servers were inattentive at best. But nothing over the top that justifies a bunch of "1-star" ratings. And yes, you need to pay to sit at the indoor or outdoor searing - but that's true of virtually every Italian restaurant (so I'm not sure why other reviewers were so mad. Also, they had plenty of signs noting that they charge for seating).
Also of note - and hitting my puerile sense of humor, Google Maps calls is the "Magnum Pleasure Store" when you're looking it up. So trust me, it's ice cream, not uhhhh something else.
So a fun experience for sure, though definitely a "can do" experience if you're tired of gelatto, not a "must eat" place.
