We had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was immersive and enjoyable, and our server was absolutely fantastic. She shared wonderful stories about each elephant, and her genuine love for them and gratitude for being part of the team truly made the experience special. The staff was very accommodating of a food allergy and took excellent care of our table. Although one main dish was accidentally forgotten, the generous portions and delicious food we did receive more than made up for it. Overall, a memorable experience with wonderful service and a special atmosphere. We would happily return!

Food and service were AMAZING!! Our waitress was super sweet and friendly. Presentation was immaculate. Definitely not a place I can afford to go too often, but it’s worth the splurge once in a while. Can’t wait to go back.
