Far exceeded my expectation. We only went as we thought the kids would enjoy it so we weren’t expecting much with the food but it was actually really good. The kids both cleared their plates which they don’t do often. There was also a great selection of drinks. Service was great and the waitress was friendly and good with the kids.
