    Loved the ambiance of the Igloo. Our server Kylie was amazing! Amazing personality, very knowledgeable of the menu. Most attentive server we've had in a long time. Food was good but very limited menu. Would've liked having more oprions. We easily met our $300 minimum and gratuity was added.

    Went for a special occasion to celebrate a birthday and enjoy some kid free adult time. The pictures on the web site looked very welcoming and had the perfect ambiance, however when we arrived to our igloo it was nothing like the web site pictures portrayed. Inside there was a patio table with 6 patio chairs, a couple blankets laid across the chairs and a few decorations on the table. Big disappointment as we were expecting what you see on the web site, I even looked at a few of the other igloos and they were set up the same way. Our server was amazing and she took great care of us, we ordered the charcuterie board for 4 which is way over priced for what you receive. I can say that we have been there and done that but would not recommend as you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere.

    Great experience overall! Some of the food is a bit overpriced ($35 for 12 marshmallows, 2 pieces of Hersheys chocolate, and 4 graham crackers - for example) but the ambience, service, and attention to detail outshines that issue

    I booked for my husband and two kids to dine in an igloo but when we arrived they shared that there was a $250 minimum. It was not clear when booking the reservation, which was incredibly frustrating. With it being our “mistake” we decided to continue with the dining experience since our kids were so excited to eat in the igloo. The service was good as well as the s’more board but other than that everything else was terrible. I hate to be a harsh critic, but we barely ate or drank anything. We got dirty martinis, and they were so salty and tasted like they were mixed with olive oil and not quality vodka. The kale and artichoke dip tasted burnt. The pizzas had a char on the outside, but the rest of the pizza was very limp/underdone and it was also finished with way too much salt. The salad had great flavor, but the lettuce had no crunch as if it was tossed earlier in the day. The shrimp and grits had really good flavor, but the shrimp was so overcooked that the texture was rubbery and the grits were not cooked properly to the point they were just lumpy. We hate sending food back and complaining but we will definitely not be returning.

    Our server Kylie made the night amazing for my friends and I. The restaurant has an “elevated menu” on the website that is not offered anymore, so that was an unpleasant surprise. The food was just OK. The igloo was fun for us.

    The outdoor igloo ambience was fun! Food was ok but nothing to rave about. Was a one time experience, wouldn’t pay the $$$$ for it a second time around. Our server Iz was fabulous!
