We took a group from work to celebrate the holidays. The food and service were great. We went early and pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves for the first hour. We have eaten here several times when the restaurant was under different ownership. We had a much better experience. As we were finishing up a family with a spoiled child were set behind us. The kid was screaming so loudly we had to wrap up our conversation and leave. Rather than take him outside they just let him scream. This was not the restaurant’s fault. It was an otherwise great experience.

Our server, Sid, was very helpful and made sure our large group had everything we needed. Also, the manager, Brandy, assisted us with making sure we purchased the power cards correctly for all our children! They were both awesome in helping to make sure my daughters’ birthdays were enjoyable!!
