    Really enjoyed the igloo experience. Nice private quiet setting in unique surroundings. Most important though, their food was REALLY good! I was expecting to like the igloo more than the food but was pleasantly surprised!

    Dined for the first time on valentine’s day, the food and service were AMAZING! Don’t remember the name of our server but he was sweet, attentive, and informative about everything. We ordered the garlic aioli fried calamari and the mozzarella sticks with vodka sauce- by far the best appetizers i’ve ever had. For entrees, the rigatoni & burrata and caesar salad with grilled chicken was delicious and had enough to bring home for left overs! Will definitely be coming back!
