    Overall the experience was one-of-a-kind! The drinks and atmosphere were phenomenal and extremely unique. The main show was very entertaining with good crowd involvement. After the main show, there were also side shows which continued the magic and whimsy which ended our night perfectly. I will be coming back!

    The food and magic couldn't be beat. Dana Daniels and Kevin King were the best. The only down side were the drunks in the audience.

    This was our 2nd time there. Both times we have had a good experience. This time I felt we were very rushed to get through eating to make our show time. We weren’t even done with our first plate of food and we weren’t given the check. I fully understand and logistics behind the magic shows and everything but I felt very rushed though everything, which took away from the experience. Next time I will push harder to be put in a later show if I feel we don’t have enough time to fully enjoy the food.

    As always, the magic show is wonderful. However, it would be great if there were some options on the buffet. French fries would be a big hit. There is mac & cheese and chicken tenders but still it would be great if there was grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, french fries, and chocolate milk. Other than that, most of the food was wonderful. However, the prime rib was a little fatty. But I still went back for thirds. The ambiance is always spectacular although we didn’t get our picture taken this time. It would be great to have another photographer on the patio by the fountain for special occasions like Mother’s Day. Overall, this is a great restaurant in the evening, but the Sunday brunch would be even better with a few small additions for kids.

    Fantastic food! Matthew was our server, did a fantastic job with our service. First time for my wife and I. Background noise from tables being so close together was causing me hard to hear my wife at the table. Overall good tasty dinner.

    They were very accommodating to a senior citizen who needed a little help and extra space due to mobility issues. Also, the validated parking for Pinnacle building was great.
