By far the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food was terrible, and we had to switch tables because the first room they sat us in was so cold I could see my breath. Not a joke.

We went to this restaurant for the experience and the food. We were celebrating my sister's 60th Birthday! The experience was excellent for dinner and aentertainment. The value was little pricey, however appreciated the interactive entertainment along the way. The lively entertainment kept us engaged and my family did have an awesome time. Thank you to the waitstaff for accommodating us at our first visit to Alhambra Palace.
