Well, let me first say, I would really recommend this place for dessert, my hubby and two kids love to go and just get dessert. As for dinner, thats another story, It's very pricey, and I don't think worth the price. You can pick "oil" or "broth" to cook your meats, and we chose the oil...... when it came, it looked cloudy and dirty, we called our server and told him, and he informed us that they "recycle" the oil.....yes I said recycle !!! EWWWWW, we were like "is that really sanitary" and he said very matter of fact "well, you can request "fresh" oil, if you'd like"..... GEE, YA THINK !!!!! Duh, of course we want fresh oil !!!!!! So after waiting awhile for our oil, then we had to cook everything....UGH, of course they tell you to expect to be there a couple hours.......it takes forever to cook the food ! So, listen if I'm paying that much for dinner, I'll go somewhere where they cook the food for me.

Pros: great, fun dessert

Cons: expensive dinner and really not worth it
