    The igloo was definitely a 10/10. I really enjoyed myself. The decorations were beautiful, and I love the outdoor fire pit.

    We booked the igloo experience. The igloo was well decorated but there was water dripping inside the igloo. The food was okay. We ordered the Cod from the Valentine's special menu and it was the worst. The fish was overcooked and the rice with it was too salty. The appetizers and desserts were good. Entree's were not that good. The menu mentions about the 18% service charge on all bills but for igloo experience they charge a flat service charge which is more than 18% and is not informed to the customers in advance.

    Service was exceptional. Staff was so accommodating. We were running late due to traffic and weather on a busy holiday. It was my daughter’s birthday and they still accommodated us, our server was awesome and would definitely return.

    It Got extremely cold because hearter kept going out. No real accommodation to fixing the situation. Understandably that it’s January in Chicago! There should have been other thing to accommodate us once heaters started to fail. An Not a house heater !!!
