    Great place for family. Seating location could have been more central to better experience restaurant. Very expensive.

    Food was cold . Waited quite a bit even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. Would have said something but who knows how much longer it would take to get hot food. The food tasted good. It was just cold.

    Matt was a great waiter, very attentive and helpful. The restaurant is fun to eat at, the prices reasonable, and the portions large. All the kids ate well, and we got some fun toys in the store.

    We went for dinner on a Saturday night. This location is on a mall. And, the change of times where people really don't go to malls any more really showed. Many open tables. The ladies bathroom was a fall hazard in two stalls where the floor drain was located. Broken and missing tiles in the slanted floor. Generally the bathroom felt unclean. Our server Chris was top notch! We had many questions because a secondary menu did not have price listings for the items ordered. Chris had to go ask management for exact prices. Chris was funny, attentive, and more than willing to help us work anything we asked or needed. The food was very good! It really is a shame that the company as a whole is struggling in light of the social changes from the post COVID and death of the mall experience replaced by the Internet.
