Fun atmosphere,lively helpful wait staff, and ok food.

This place had a separate playground and play area with a babysitter to play with your kids and feed them too! My daughter loved the babysitter as she was very good with kids. The food was great, especially the beer battered shrimps & bacon shrimps! My wife doesn't like shrimps so she ordered their fish and loved it as well.... more
