The food, service, atmosphere, and experience was amazing! My party and I ordered the brunch feast and everything came out timely and the food was hot. The bottomless drinks were very delicious. I would absolutely come back.

Our server was great and very knowledgeable. The brunch options were areas and they were able to prepare fresh garlic butter for my crab legs. The Bananas Foster French toast was great. The only downside was inside was really cold.

I think $80 just to use it plus everything else was a bit much. Overall $200 for a single pool day is expensive in my opinion. Service was great but the prices are excessive.
