“ Great food quality and service. The establishment itself, is beautiful and the singers are very good quality. My only real actual concern is the pricing of the food items. In my eyes, it is a bit pricy considering. However the quality is good and the environment is very appealing. I have been there a dozen times throughout the year and have only seen it on the fuller side a few times. ”
