    It’s pricey but you are paying for the experience, as well. Excellent food and service and the most beautiful setting. If they have the seasonal Millionaire Cske or Coconut cake—do not hesitate to get them!

    An exciting experience with amazing food. The entertainment was family friendly while still being exciting for all ages. The food was absolutely perfect; meals were well thought out, expertly described on the menu, and visually stunning. Our waitress, I believe her name was Jennifer, was very personable and gave GREAT recommendations. The gift shop is a nice touch and I was able to find my family crest there on multiple items (keychains, pins, etc.). Definitely a must-see venue that I can’t wait to visit again.

    My dining experience was excellent with Joshua as my waiter/cast member. My table on the patio along the lake was an appropriate spot for us, very relaxing. The chicken tenders were good sized but had a bit too much batter on them. If you go for Happy Hour drinks don't expect to take your drink to your dining table. You must drink your Happy Hour priced drink at the bar, or you'll be charged full price. The bartender at the front bar was very strict about this.
