    There was another Event being hosted upstairs but the line for that event to get tickets was in the back so our meal and experience were horrible due to how loud the people in line were and how they kept bumping into our table. We arrived at 1 pm and were told we could only order off the Brunch menu but we noticed other tables being served food off the Full Menu. We asked our server and she said " oh they changed it last minute, do you want to order pizza now?" We had already eaten so obviously our answer was no Very disappointed in what could have been a great experience

    The experience was absolutely fantastic! I haven’t been anywhere that was so elaborately decked out with themed decor. It was truly picture worthy and the staff/food was good too!
