    Loved the igloo idea but after an hour I was freezing! It was super cold out but maybe turning the heater on earlier would have helped? Eric was awesome and very attentive. My only complaint is the ketchup bottle in my igloo was empty and eating a burger and fries without it was kind of a bummer. I was also hoping for a discount on the igloo since I only made it an hour in -25 degree temps, but alas, that didn’t happen. I do understand though that I was taking a chance sitting in there on a very frigid day. All in all it was a unique experience

    Seemed chillier inside compared to past 3 times we’ve rented the igloos. So not quite as comfortable. Missed the more comfy seating also for the 5th and 6th persons. Seemed there had been 2 love seats and 2 comfy chairs, and now there were one love seat, two comfy chairs, and two dining or conference room chairs. But good service, food and ambience!

    The igloo was cute and very different then the average restaurant, however the food was mediocre for the price. I also wasn’t made aware that it was $50 to rent the igloo, I thought it was a $50 deposit for saving our reservation. Too high of a price.

    We were looking forward to this experience most when we booked our stay and it did not disappoint. There were games to choose from and our waitress was willing to share other things we should do while we were there. Definitely a dream come true and we can’t wait to do it again!

    A fun way to celebrate the new year. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful and hope to make this a family tradition.

    While the igloo is a cool vibe, spending $200 to sit on wet cushions and eat subpar steak out of to-go containers (delivered in paper bags like we ordered take-out) with plastic utensils was not worth it. Will be passing on this experience in the future. :(

    Service was great. Igloo was a little dirty from prior users. Could use a good sweep between guest to get out all the food debris.

    Food was poor. Cold in the igloo. Certainly not worth the $50 rental fee. They do not sanitize between guests.

    Overall, we had a very fabulous time! The atmosphere was super great! I would make two requests. Please heat the igloo before a the party gets there, not upon arrival. And also, if there'd be a way the server could somehow shut the door, when coming in and out, it would be handy. It got chilly quickly when she was in and out. But truly, a very memorable evening!
