    The... Brussel...Sprouts!!! Remember, that because I'll come back to that star food item. My wife and I, and another family couple thought it would be cool to check this place out for Valentine's Day. A really cool concept for a restaurant and the heated outdoor igloos was a nice touch. Only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because the menu seemed plain and didn't have many choices. But the food we did have was pretty good, and the BRUSSEL SPROUTS were amazing!!! We got a basket of Brussel Sprouts to share and after a few bites, we all wanted our separate basket, it was that good! The drink selections were good and the names were whimsical, definitely in line with the vibe of the restaurant. Our server (I hate I have forgotten her name) was funny and matched the energy of the group. She helped enhanced the experience. The slide is a fun time and worth going down to make video memories. They also had Jenga and Corn hole of you wanted to enjoy some games while there. When you stop by here, two things: (1) Go down the slide and (2) GET THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!?
