    We had a wonderful time! Our server Tyler gave us excellent advice about the menu and how to best enjoy our experience there. The GM Carly even stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our time and recommended an out of this world strawberry dessert. We felt very taken care of, and the food was incredible.
