| - We're a family of four who have been to this restaurant twice now. The food is consistently good... some items are better than others, but everything is tasty. We go more for the experience than just the food. It is expensive, so your idea of value will depend on how much you eat. Recently we took my parents for a fun meal, so there were six of us, at $40 each. Not exactly pocket change. There was a family of three, parents and a young child, at a nearby table. The child was watching cartoons on an iPad with the volume high. I am the first to admit that it's frustrating for parents who want a nice dinner out and have to deal with a child at the same time. I get it, I do. Mine are 11 and 13 now. But I also wasn't in the mood to pay $40 per person for a special dinner and have to listen to the Looney Tunes at the same time. We asked management to please ask the parents to turn it down or use headphones. Instead of doing that, they moved the six of us to a back room, much farther from the buffet (which was not ideal for my father who is disabled). In order to have a non-cartoon accompanied meal, all six of us had to move our plates and glasses to another table. I was mortified that we had to do this and that I had to ask my parents to move shortly after we'd started our meal. If we'd gone to McDonalds I wouldn't have blinked an eye at the cartoons. But at a nice restaurant and for what we paid, I don't think it was professional of them to ask us to move. Asking the parents to turn it down wouldn't have been out of line or asking the much smaller group to move to the back. We couldn't have been the only customers not thrilled with the cartoons. We will not be returning.
