The service was exceptional. The entertainers were extremely friendly and personable, especially "Popeye", "Babyface", and "Pepsi-Cola". The kitchen staff was super-friendly and efficient; our favorite waiter was Robert who was really good at predicting what we would need and providing quick service. Another advantage to this location is that there is always something to do. During the day, there are... More
