    This is a fun place to go with kids. Lots of things to watch and see and explore. It’s a bit noisy, from all of the activity, but fun. Food is fine, nothing fabulous, but fine. Our 4 and 5 years old kids loved it

    Our server was super sweet but service suffered when it got busy. The smash and artichoke dip was awful - too dry and too salty. Our chicken and shrimp entree was very good. We ordered the key lime pie which was awful. The ice cream sandwich was no different from the ones on sale in the grocery store, wrapped in paper. Skip dessert. Skip the dip. Go straight for the entrees and you'll be better off.

    Enjoyed our meal, and the restaurant is perfect to bring kids to. Our server, Matt, did a great job and made our meal enjoyable. Menu items are a bit pricy, but everything else was great!
