Ambiance was poor. Service was sporadic and the staff was just hanging around. Food was basic and overpriced, and some of it came out cold. Overall, I’m not interested in returning and would definitely not recommend to anyone.

Valet parking was good; Ambiance was very nice; Staff was very friendly and accommodating; The problem was the food. The pancakes were supposed to have berries for an extra $2, there was one strawberry and two blueberries. Denny's gives you much more for a better pancake and cheaper price. They brought a fruit cup and charged us for it to put on the pancakes. The potatoes were cold. And they added a tomato sauce to what they call O' Brien potatoes. Terrible. The drinks were very over priced and were terrible to boot. The tomato juice was watered down, and dare I say so was the liquor. I wanted to use this restaurant for a celebration but no way am I taking anyone here.

The atmosphere is beautiful. The ducks are fun. The inside and outside are both great. You feel like you could be in a treehouse when you’re there. Food was good. Service was great. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The only thing that could be annoying for some, is that guests buy duck food and throw it to the ducks right next to people eating at tables. They get very loud and crown the tables.

Service was excellent and attentive. Great casual lunch place for girlfriends. I had a small birthday cake and they offered to put it in the refrigerator for me. They later brought it out with a candle. Two thumbs up!

I ordered the tuna melt which was way overpriced for a sandwich and it didn’t even taste very good . Even the passion fruit iced tea (which is my go to drink) had a strange flavor. The view is pretty but disappointed in the food. Not sure if I would go back.
