“We held a surprise birthday party here with only a 30 min lead time. Management and staff were happy to accommodate us all and allowed us to set up numerous balloons and a large banner. 2 of the guests were in wheelchairs and staff helped removing chairs so they could both be seated comfortably. Food was very good and we were able to stay for over 2 hours without feeling hurried. Good place for families and handicapped persons.“
