★★★★★11 months agoLove the place! The kids have a safe space to run and do monkey stuff while parents can breathe for a moment 😅 Food is really great and the staff is always welcoming and helpful 😊

★★★★★a year agoGreat for families with children. The restaurant has a big play area. In my opinion it is suitable for kids 8 and under. There is supervision. All this is free, but obviously it is for those eating at the restaurant. Kids can play while adults eat. Very convenient. I love this restaurant cause of this. Food is good. Nothing to complain about. Reasonable prices, maybe a bit on the high price, but not as much. Unfortunately, toilets are usually dirty ( went more than once) . Definitely needs more regular cleaning cause of the kids.
