    We did a staycation with 6 of our grandchildren 14 to 7 years old. We all had a ball. This was all of our first experience, and we will do it again. Our server Hemam was excellent. You must ask for her. Our chef made the children laugh. We all had plenty to eat and leftovers for either late night snacks or tomorrow lunch.

    Reservations don't matter on a busy day. Seated 30 minutes after reservation time, only to wait an additional hour at the table before they even started making the food. Entertaining chef, nice waiter and good food.. but not worth the price and cramped seating.

    Chef wasn’t that good. Used way too much salt on Everything! Even the fried rice was over salted. Was leaving the station, most people done eating and didn’t offer sauces for the food. I had to ask and remind him. Also, had 6:30 pm reservations didn’t get seated until after 7:30. I feel like we should have gotten a discount or refund due to the terrible terrible dinner. A $64 steak and lobster wasted! Our bill for 2 of us was $178.00 WITHOUT alcohol. Wish we could have gotten a different chef.
