Long lines and wait time for food that is good but not outstanding. Very kid-friendly. Noisy and hectic. Not a relaxing night, but fun for younger children.

Our toddler really enjoyed this restaurant, but some younger kids may be scared by all of the lights and sounds that the animals make. The food is very good but definitely on the pricier side. Loved the animatronic gorillas and all of the fish.

Long wait, over priced food, the kids got bored with the animtronic stuff after about an hour of waiting for our food. I think they just picked the waitress off the street, she seemingly had no training and when she did finally ask about out meals, she agreed with me that the hamburgers were aweful. Nice.

Great experience for kids, a lousy one for adults. I ordered fish tacos since they sounded great. Too bad the fish was raw and it took 20 minutes for it to be corrected. When I got my meal back there was only three bites of fish and a ton of red cabbage. My best friend got the chicken fajitas and... More

Went there only because my daughter wanted to go there for her birthday. The dishes are all average. We ordered the Coconut shrimp, Mushroom Ravioli, Pastalaya and the Volcano Cobb salad. None of the dishes are much to speak of, but the bill for four without any alcoholic drinks was close to a $100. There are many restaurants in the... More

We dined on a Friday at 12pm. My friend ordered a steak, ribs, coconut shrimp combo plate and I had a talipia and shrimp plate and we had a side order of onion rings. We each had a cocktail and one ale, $80 plus tip. Everything was cooked to perfection. Service was pleasant. The manager was very knowledgable. It was... More

Went recently for my son's birthday. He's 4, so the ambiance was perfect. He food was serviceable at best, with my wife's goat cheese salad the star of the day. The Reuben wasn't too bad, as was the grilled cheese. The appetizer platter was a big miss. Our server Haley was a rock star, even while the fire alarm was... More
