    We stayed in the igloos, and everything about our visit was outstanding! The igloos themselves are private, warm, cozy, and have a great view of the water and Wharf area. The Bose speakers in there were also a nice touch. It was our first time in an igloo, and would love to do it again. The food was also fantastic. I expected it to be good, but it was even better than we had hoped. The first thing my wife commented was how fresh everything tasted. Be warned though, if there are only two of you, it is A LOT of food! Fortunately, we now have lunch and dinner for the next couple days. The minimum spend isn't cheap for two people, but you certainly get your money's worth. Finally, the service was great. Our waiter was very friendly and although I was initially a little concerned that we can't really flag anyone down in the igloos if we need anything, he was there the perfect amount to make sure we had everything we needed, but not intrusive. Overall, an excellent experience and aside from the ridiculous 4% service fee they charge, really nothing negative to note. This definitely stands out as one of the best nights out we've had!

    What an amazing experience! We are big fans of the Hell's Kitchen show and other Gordon Ramsey shows like Master Chef. The food was amazing, came out quickly, and was worth the price. We went to celebrate our fifth anniversary and every staff member who helped us this evening congratulated us. It made everything so much more special and personal. Our waiter was so kind, patient, and knowledgeable about the dishes. Thank you all so much for the amazing food and experience, we will remember this forever!

    The most wonderful time. We were in town for the Army-Navy game and surprised our cadet there by having his girl friend with us. He ran late from airport and our Server, Marie, was so kind supportive & patient. The food & hand crafted bevs were all delicious, too! Highly recommend Founding Farmers Fishers & Bakers!!
