We were over 30min late due to Uber issues and still had a lovely table and were able to see the show on time. Food was good but not really plentiful and we were given happy hour menu but was told it wasn’t happy hour when we ordered🤔

When we arrive we weren’t sure what to expect but once you walk in it’s a whole other world. Everyone was very friendly our waitress was very informative. The food was phenomenal.

When we walked in there was no host to greet us, finally a young lady arrived. my husband and I ordered dinners, he had the ribs and I had a salad with a salmon on top of it. The serving size were small considering the price. The salad arrived without the salmon. Not a welcoming vibe.

Drinks were amazing i love love passion fruit mai tai delicious. I like it how there is a security at the door. They kind a messed up our food order however they fixed it right away and food was delicious just a waiting time for food a little longer than expected i think it is because friday night. The alice in wonderland experience after our meal was soo much fun. Overall i would recommend everyone to go dine in first then go to event.
