We came for the Jurassic Park pop up. I made a reservation between the lunch & dinner times so we could avoid a big crowd. I saw that an 18% gratuity was automatic. Everyone was friendly & we were seated pretty quickly. I took a while for drinks & even longer for food. My. wife ordered a salad that should have come before the meal, the pizza came first & we ultimately cancelled the salad. The Jurassic theme was fun & worth going to. The pizza was really good. The themed drinks were OK. To sum it up, come for the dinosaurs & pizza. Be prepared to wait for service.

Went because my husband and I love jurassic park and that was the current theme. Did not read reviews before making a reservation. Drinks were ok. Mine was passable but my husband got the Mr. DNA one and it was separated and looked horrible. Neither of us finished our drinks. Appetizers of wings was good. Pizza.... first it took way to long for our pizza to come out and two different servers kept checking for us. When we finally got our pizza it was the wrong one. 40m of waiting for a wrong pizza. Server was upset that it was wrong and wanted to try and make it right. When we ate the pizza it was bad. I always thought bad pizza was still good but no. It tasted like water. No flavor. Sauce was non existent and when you did taste it, it was watered down tomato sauce. Horrible. Will never be back. At least the server gave us our drinks and app for free to make us for the mistake.

The Jurassic set up was cute! The food was hot and fresh. The pizza wasn’t my favorite because there wasn’t enough sauce, but the kids loved it! The salads and adult drinks were on point! Would come back!

The Jurassic Park theme was fun and they had interesting cocktails available. The server was very honest about some of the stranger combinations which was appreciated. The themed names for food apparently caused confusion with our pizza order so they had to remake one and it took a very long time, but overall it was good food and good service.

Nice atmosphere server seemed very distracted and not that friendly. Food was average at best pizza not very hot chicken was almost burnt fries were average once again. If you have younger kids this place would be good for them game room photo ops etc. We try to attend a good share of pop theme restaurants and bar events this one was just ok unfortunately

We had a wonderful time. Food was surprisingly really good. My kids loved the Dino tenders and the slides were great. Such a fun and family friendly place where parents can have a rest time too.

We had a reservation for 7 PM and were seated and greeted promptly. However, after the initial greeting, we never saw our server again. We received only water and assumed we would have to wait since it was busy, but all the tables around us were receiving service. At 7:40 PM, we decided to leave because we had two small kids and couldn't keep waiting any longer. We even attempted to get the server's attention, but to no avail. Not a great experience.
