We came here yesterday for Mother's Day and we were surprised to see how packed it was. We had made reservations and even then we had to wait about 20-30 minutes. People who were coming in without reservations were waiting upward of an hour and a half, which I guess is to be expected on any holiday.
It was extremely packed. It was difficult to find parking because it combines with the parking for the zoo. The waiting area and the area where you go to see the hostess is more than a bit tight, so it was difficult to get in. I do love that they honored my request and sat us next to the aquarium. This was our first time here so it was a nice treat. We chose this place because it was family friendly.
Our server was awesome. Despite all the chaos, she was friendly and got everything right. She did great. I ordered the brisket platter which included 2 sides and my mother and I both got ice cream for free for Mother's Day.
The food was okay. It was not the best barbeque I've ever tasted, but I feel that it was reasonably priced and the aquarium made it worth it. If you have little one's I would advise that you go on a day when it is not so crowded. My got pretty anxious with so many people in such tight quarters.
