This is not a place we go often. Mainly because it’s expensive and you wouldn’t know that because there are no prices on the menu. It cost my 5 year old son and I $45.00 for meatloaf and a cheeseburger kids meal. That’s not including the tip. I haven’t been here for at least a decade and nothing has changed. It really needs to be updated because it just seems dirty.

We were sat down and ignored for 30 minutes. Ended up leaving before we even spoke to a server.

I was not satisfied with my meal it was okay. But for how much I paid I would’ve hoped it was better. I wish I would’ve never came there. Service was okay. Waiter was nice but it was my daughter birthday and their enthusiasm while singing happy birthday was not great. I was not happy. Overall the kids had fun which is the most important but I wish I could get a refund for what I paid for.

My Bill was $120 with a $10 tip! Four people (one a child). Four meals. Labeled Birthday in reservation but it was not recognized. Food was good but was not ready for spice level but still enjoyed. My son loved the sound animals and my daughters the the decor and the aquariums. Nice gift store. Bar ready but didn’t take the opportunity this time. Was first time being there wish our seating was closer to the wall rather than aquarium. Had Ribs, Coconut shrimp, battered chicken (trio) jerk chicken pasta and Mac orange and applesauce for child. No dessert.

Just wanted to share my thoughts on my recent visit! The food was absolutely amazing – seriously, top-notch stuff. I had such a great time overall. One small thing, though – our server wasn't quite as on point as the rest of the experience. No big deal, just thought I'd mention it. Thanks again!

After waiting for over 30 minutes after check-in we went back up to check-in and realized they never did their job and finally seated us almost immediately. We waited 15 minutes to order drinks then another 10 after that to order food. Waitress was too busy to stop at our table so I actually had to raise my voice to get her attention for refills. Food came after 25 minutes of ordering but one big positive is the portions were huge and the food was very good. 1 out of 5 stars for my girlfriend’s birthday!
