    Took my 9 year old granddaughter to brunch for her birthday. It was fabulous the kids loved it. Food was excellent lot's of options. The kids loved the magicians in the dining area. They had so much fun with them. They were great with all the kids that were there. Our waitress was great and made sure our drinks were full and even brought a slice of delicious cake and sang to my granddaughter for her birthday. Only negative comment was our reservation was at 12:30 and by 1:00 they were out of prime rib - so a couple of us were disappointed we didn't get any prime rib. Otherwise is was a fantastic way to celebrate.

    Experience: The ambiance, magic shows, and service were exceptional. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful, guiding us through the menu and offering excellent recommendations. They also diligently kept the tables clean and ensured our water glasses were always full. The only minor drawback was the timing of the entrees, which arrived while we were still enjoying our appetizers. For a restaurant at this price point, I would expect more precise timing between courses. Food: The appetizers were outstanding, and the cocktails were decent, although the Trailblazer tasted more like a neat whiskey. Unfortunately, the entrees were a major disappointment. The three Australian Wagyu NY strips we ordered (special the restaurant was running) were all tough and overcooked. The fingerling potatoes were also tough and overcooked. While the lobster mac and cheese was tasty, it contained only two small pieces of lobster. If a more affordable option for the mac and cheese without lobster is available, I would recommend it.
