Our server Sheldon was very friendly and asked us several times if our meal was ok and if we needed anything. The manager came along to see if all was ok. The food is always good here.

This is the place to go if you want to have a fun/unique dinner experience, we went for the Christmas tree lighting celebration and it was very fun, lots of entertainment on the main stage! Heads up people will be standing on tables lol, it’s a great place to go. Food was good, nothing special though. My only negative thing to say- when I gave cash for my bill, I expected my change back, not for the waitress to just assume she was supposed to keep it (especially since an 18% gratuity was already added to my bill). I didn’t make a fuss about it though, because my change would’ve been less than $2, but still common courtesy to give a customer their change and let them decide if they want to tip you more than already has been added to the bill.
