   The food was amazing like always! The only reason I did not give 5 starts is because although we had reservations, the wait time was a bit ridiculous. We waiting about 20 minutes just to be sat down during lunch time (reservations were at 12:30pm). The host was nowhere to be found when we arrived so we waited about 5 minutes till she appeared. Then she started sitting other people before us and after a while we were told we were waiting on our server. Once we sat, the server did take about 10 minutes to come to us and after that, everything was great. They need to h ire more staff

   Omg I had the best time. My partner and I took our 9 month old baby girl and she had a blast. Ate everything we were eating. Enjoyed the show very much. We went during the week which I think is best to take your kids in since it’s less people.
