We absolutely loved it here. The kids were so excited and loved being able to just walk up and help themselves. Such delicious and very fresh food and a great atmosphere to eat in. Amazing value for money on a Monday with the kids eating free. Thanks to all the staff who made this such an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.

Food was incredible, and every server we spoke to was lovely. Only real downside was the cocktails. We ordered the barrel aged Negroni and a bourbon based stir down. Both drinks were seriously over diluted and unimpressive. For $28 for a Negroni you'd probably also expect block ice like they serve upstairs. It didn't ruin our experience in any sense but was hoping for more based on the rest of what we'd been served.
