    The food was fine but the service was beyond terrible. From the time we were seated until we finally received the check there were huge gaps of time between each " appearance" by our server. The restaurant was not busy and I believe the server was inexperienced but should not have been serving our table of 9. Since we were a " group" a fixed 20 percent tip was added but definitely not earned. I will not be returning,

    We were seated immediately. Our server was awesome and just the right amount of attentiveness. The food was excellent and I’m so glad we went while the holiday decor was still up.

    Ended up going even though I was sick to avoid fees for canceling less than 24 hours. They were out of all specialty warm drinks like lattes and hot chocolate which was a bummer and then no ice cream. Other than that being a staple of why we go service was great. Food was good. No offerings of glitter at the end to make a wish. Our 4 girls saw the other tables getting it but they did not get the chance, which was fine just something to note.

    Lovely decor and food was excellent. Experience negatively affected significantly by noise level. If adult only parties could be separated from large parties with children it would greatly help. Did not appear to have any sound reduction aspects built in to beautiful decor. Many times throughout meal our party of 4 could not hear each other at a small table.
