I love the igloos. A very cool atmosphere over looking the city at night. My only issue would be trying to eat the food. You aren’t eating at a table, it’s a small table in the middle. Which I totally get, which creates the cozy feel. The shareable food selection was very tasty. Minor inconvenience. It was great for just having drinks and appetizers, but not a meal. Would go back again.
