    What a phenominal experience! Our first but far from our last time. We experienced exceptional service from Mleashy. She was beyond helpful and full of smiles. We only snacked this time but will have a full meal with our next visit. Looking forward to it!

    The girls just loved the experience! Our waiter was lovely, fun and an angel with the kids. Even the 'big kids' (the adults) had so much fun! The platters and food was great. Will see you again soon

    Only ordered from the kids menu - they did not like the milkshakes at all. They ordered the chicken strips and chips and all the chips was a bit over seasoned for the kids tastebuds, they also did not finish the chips. BUT, the experience of painting and all the other stuff was a lot of FUN!!!!

    Oh Annelize! We are so sorry to hear this. I hope you brought this to our manager's attention so we could sort it out immediately. There were 3 managers on duty and we are here to make your time with us as seamless and fun as possible. I will address this with the kitchen immediately. So glad you had a blast painting ceramics. See you soon we hope.

    The gentleman who runs your front of house, presume day manager, is an absolute gem. Not many people in this world have his kindness and patience. Food was delicious. The peppermint crisp seems a bit overpriced though, a caramel layer would be delicious. Waiters are really doing their best with how busy it is.

    Jody is indeed an absolute GEM! Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your Saturday with us.

    It was a really great experience for my family, especially my two toddlers. The food tasted so good not to mention the babychinos…
