The staff is top notch! Love the entertainment but it could start a little sooner. Lot's of time waiting for the show. Food is just okay. Wish there were better vegan options. Was really disappointed on New Year's as there was not a vegan option at all. The beyond burger on the regular menu is just okay, nothing special. I've eaten better beyond burgers in other restaurants. The one I was served was dry and boring. We love the attention the staff gives everyone and appreciate their energetic and positive attitudes. It seems like the entertainers actually enjoy what they are doing. Great job. I'm looking forward to coming back. Price is very good. Drinks are tasty!

Eggplant with pasta was very tasty. My friends got the chicken breast with mashed potatoes. They both said it was good. The most fun I have had in ages. Performers were fun and entertaining. I highly recommend it 👌 I will go back.
