Great time was had by all 6 of us! Went to the one at Woodfied Mall for years! We miss it so much! Great place to celebrate birthdays. The food and drinks aren't just for kids either! Our granddaughter Loved the balloon guy that made her a wonderful turtle! We'lll be back again for special occasions!

My daughter and I shared the bruschetta chicken and the lasagna. Both were very good but we especially liked the bruschetta chicken. One entree included two large portions of breaded chicken, delicious fettuccine Alfredo, and four shrimp scampi. We really didn't even need a second entree. That would have been enough for us to share. Our server was excellent and made us feel valued as a customer. The ambience there is always so fun. Highly recommend!
