The igloos create a magical ambiance, making it perfect for a special night out. The food was excellent—loved the Ruben egg rolls, which were incredibly tasty, and the Harrison Chicken sandwich was spot-on. Highly recommend for a unique dining experience!

Food and service was great as always. The food came ordered came out quickly and with enough time to finish soap before the main fish came out. The waitress was always around to check if we needed refills.
