The Harry Potter themed dinner was wonderful. The food was delectable, as always, and the attention to detail was magica. Can’t wait to bring my family back!

Went for happy hour and was advertised half price appetizers. Got charged full price for them anyway. It was a total debacle getting it fixed. Manager said it would be autocorrected and didn’t need my credit to rerun the bill and to call him in the morning if it wasn’t fixed. This is false advertising. And clearly a faulty system. So if you don’t mind getting swindled then go eat here. Pay attention to your bill or you will be over charged.

Drinks were very watered down. Food was ok but they charge $4 for an extra plate and for a round ice cube in your drink. A bit excessive
