It was a very enjoyable experience. The family had a great time! I was worried about a few negative reviews I read on yelp, but all the complaints I read were not an issue for us. We made the correct booking, a server greeted us as soon as we arrived and we were promptly seated, and the server was very friendly. The drinks were fun, and the family really liked the fun glasses. The food was tasty as well. I especially enjoyed the sliders.

Great view, went for late lunch on Christmas Eve. Service was slower than what I had expected. Took advises from other diners so ordered mushroom lasagna and it was great. House salad was also great. Would go back for the ambience.
