The food and service used to be really good and that was why my friend and I would come here every weekend despite the 30 minutes drive. The wait staff remembered us and he would always greet us with a big smile. We love him!!! However, I don't know since when they just went downhill fast, especially customer service. The dark skin lady waitress (I believe her name is Dani D. please let me know if you caught her smile because it is rare. She never smile to greet you and always make us feel like she does not even want to be there or serve us. Plus, she might get a fish brain. We asked her for a water or new set of utensil, she can forget like right after. (Note: the restaurant was not busy! Only 3 tables of customers . We gave her a lot of chances by keep coming every week because we have her benefit of the doubt every time like maybe she is having a bad day, or she will improve next time. But no, we kept coming for a year straight every other week, and she is just like that. She will forget one thing or two. The food is alright. The French toast used to be cereal crusted, but I think the chef left or something. There is no more cereal crusted and turned to be a normal French toast, and sometimes the toast is not even toasted. After being 4 years of loyal eater at sunshine, I will not come back no more. Chances were given and they did not come back to par. I'm sorry!

The food and ambiance are five star quality without a doubt! The best biscuits and gravy I have had north of the mason Dixon line to date actually! And the drinks were absolutely phenomenal and very well balanced. It's a very cute brunch date spot ... as long as you aren't in any rush. The service here, despite being completely empty when we arrived, was extremely lackluster and at best subpar. Not the most accommodating or engaging staff and very difficult to get assistance when needed. If the service were on par with the atmosphere and the food quality, this place would be 5 stars! Unfortunately it's Manhattan quality service in a Brooklyn neighborhood. I'd still come back, but only if I have a lot of time to burn.

I would like to let anyone who is planning to go to Sunshine to eat to strongly reconsider because there are many other phenomenal dining options on Washington Avenue. Here is the experience that my family and I had. My husband and I both grew up in Brooklyn but came back to visit from out of town. We chose Sunshine because Yelp said it was dog friendly. We opted to leave the dog home and we came out with my parents in law, sister in law, and our 8 month old baby girl. After ordering coffee and mimosas, our waiter opted to serve piping hot coffee right over the stroller where my baby was sitting. My husband was livid! As I turned to caution the waiter about how he was unsafely serving, he literally dropped his entire tray of drinks and coffee right on my baby’s stroller. Glass and ceramic cups were broken, liquid splashed all into my hair and eye, my stroller saturated with liquor and coffee and sharp shards were everywhere. The waiter knew he messed up and briefly apologized. And by brief, I mean he said “I’m sorry” and that was it. There was no acknowledgement or care that hot and alcoholic beverages were all over me, possibly the baby, or the stroller. My party was in complete disbelief but we kept our composure as we ensured that the baby wasn’t burned or injured. She was screaming and crying from the commotion. I had to wipe all that was spilled from my face and clothing. The manager and the waiter cleaned the mess from the floor. Neither of them asked if the baby or I was okay. The manager didn’t say anything to us… she didn’t even introduce herself as the manager. My stroller and cup holders were so saturated that I had to literally request a bucket to empty the liquid from, and a rag to wipe it down myself. The staff seemed completely unbothered, with a lack of empathy or apology that any human would expect to have received if ever in this situation. Because we did not want to loose the day due to time and scheduling constraints, we stayed for the meal. The food was not delicious at all. In fact it was inedible to mid, which added further insult to injury: 1)The French toast came out drowned in syrup and completely soggy. It was inedible. 2)The steak and eggs were ordered medium well and was so chewy that it went uneaten. 3)The shrimp and grits were extremely dry… it was literally 4 seasoned shrimp over a bed of grits…no gravy. 4) Huevos Rancheros was extremely bland. It did not taste like anything was seasoned in this entre. 5)BLT- Bread was toasted extra hard, bacon fried hard, boarder line burned, and overall DRY! At the end, they handed us the bill. I noticed that the drinks were not on it. I asked to speak to the manager and I informed her that it was really disgusting that such a dangerous situation occurred and that she didn’t have the decency to speak to us when the ordeal occurred. She said that she heard the waiter say sorry so she didn’t feel like it was necessary to say anything on the restaurants behalf. I informed her that as a manager, she should have said something in the moment to acknowledge us, and how bad the situation was, and how bad it could have been. My child was put in harms way twice! Let alone, I was drenched in liquid and there was no expression of care, regret, or empathy for the dangerous and embarrassing situation. She said she took the drinks off as the apology, and I let her know that it was not enough. We are more that capable of paying a bill, so her assumption that taking $30 worth of drinks off was a slap in the face. Acknowledgement would have been priceless! I spoke to her calmly and expressed my disappointment with her inaction and she dismissed us by saying “just don’t worry about it” and walked away. Paying the bill was not, or is never an issue… but clearly she did not understand the principal of it all. So I truly in my heart hope that anyone who may want to dine at Sunshine reads this and decides to pass. The lack of friendly and trained service, and the quality of food is not worth anyones time.
