    I want for the 2 hour endless lunch and it was delicious! I have a few dietary restrictions- pescatarian and non dairy and they chef was able to accommodate me without inconveniencing the other 6 people in my party. The manager was amazing!!!! I didn’t get the drink package but my nephew/nieces did and they all said it was worth the $22. I would definitely be back and recommend this place to others.
