Atlantic City
Set inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino at 1000 Boardwalk, Sugar Factory Atlantic City is a bright, lacquered pause between the gaming floor and the ocean air. The dining room seats more than 300 under crystal chandeliers and antique brass, red tufted banquettes along the walls, with a white marble bar of twenty seats looking back over the casino. A floor-to-ceiling candy wall of more than 500 sweets opens into a café of hot chocolate, gelato, and pastry, and a boardwalk patio keeps the salt air close. The menu moves from a savory crepe, a monster burger, steak, and pasta to the house spectacle: a smoking candy goblet, a Lollipop Passion strung with candy necklaces, a milkshake in a chocolate-covered mug, and the King Kong Sundae, 24 scoops dressed in gummy bears, caramel, fudge, and giant swirl pops for a table of twelve. It is the Boardwalk with the sweet course promoted, built for a celebration that does not want to whisper.

"Hard Rock’s Sugar Factory does not do a quiet finish"
Hard Rock’s Sugar Factory does not do a quiet finish: steak and pasta on the plate, a chocolate-covered milkshake in hand, and the Boardwalk lights doing the rest.
