I loved every bit of it from the moment I got out my car the customer service was top tier to coming in and getting seated and everything carefully explained. Although there want a bartender I still had a ball eating and sparking up a joint. The decorations in the bathroom is amazing I will definitely be back and bring some friends !!!!!!
