It was a stifling day (about 105 and humid) so we had the place to ourselves. A "literal" ghost town! Because it was so hot we had a hard time enjoying ourselves but we did spend a chunk of time here. The houses were all closed for the day so we were sad to miss that. I'm curious if they are all air conditioned! The bathrooms were but barely. I do wish we had come when it was open. There were a lot of things to see. Though I'm not sure we could withstand the heat much longer. The highlight was cooling off in the fountain.

A fantastic FREE tourist attraction and beautifully upkept from what we could see on the outside. They could use some real water fill stations. We filled at the pump with the warm water.

My 6yr old said she wanted to live here forever! And she's still talking about it days later. Really fun. It was a Friday late afternoon and the place was quite empty. So our crew really had the run of the place. It was spotless from my standpoint. I don't know how often the interiors of the 3-story play structure are cleaned. But our kids loved it. They also enjoyed the bouncy castle and played a big in the arcade. There was also a play structure for toddlers which is a wonderful bonus. I can't even say how many times in past my kids didn't play at different things we've been at cuz it was too rough with the bigger kids.

They also had a cafeteria and loads of tables and chairs for the adults. So many fun things. The bathrooms were very clean. Great place and we'll come again.

We went here for the first time but I know there will be many more. The food was top notch. Completely delicious. I can't stress that enough. It was completely out of the league of similarly priced chain restaurants. Beautiful presentation and the food tasted even better. We had the Chicken Parmesan and Sirloin steak with truffle ravioli and prawns. Oh my Lanta. We love a good steak. We thought it was better than the Keg. We haven't been to Hy's to compare that. The chicken was so tender the knife cut through like butter. How? My butter knife was satisfactory for the steak, as well. No steak knife necessary! The ravioli was mouthwatering.

We don't often go for dessert and were completely satisfied after our meals however the food was so amazing we couldn't resist trying dessert! We got the chocolate lava cake and the apple pie. I wish I was eating it now! Both were divine. If I had to pick one, we both preferred the apple pie. Made fresh there, it almost seemed like they literally assembled and cooked it before they brought it out, it was so fresh! (and perhaps they did)!

Our waiter was another thing. Next level. You can tell all their staff goes the extra mile and if someone is hired there, they are extra special. I wish I remembered his name. Looks like Thomas Delauer but black hair. Helpful, polite, funny, and made you feel like the most important people in a very packed restaurant.

The only downside to the restaurant is if you go around lunchtime (and I'd imagine dinnertime, as well), it is so busy you'll need to wait and it is also very loud because it was so packed. We were told we'd need to wait 30 minutes though I think it's was only 20. There are plenty of comfy couches to sit on and wait. Worth the wait for sure. That was our first sign this place must be good!

Before we left they even gave us a card for a free appy next time we go!

Beautiful interior design as well and very comfy seating.

Be prepared to tip generously. The service is worth the tip. Limited menu but that's why it is so good. Pricey but as always, you get what you pay for. This is a big step above Moxie's and Applebee's.
