Pretty expensive which I expected. I heard something about a tax after you bought your 6 dollar drinks. The staff was very good though they worked hard and made it fun

Nice large room for a gathering. The food by Powers Inc was delicious and I cannot say how they cook their food but it is amazing. They are the people to cater any party if you want good food and service that is spot on.

Very fun show, Anna Silvers is my favorite but all put a fun entertaining show. The staff at the event were courteous and kept the event areas clean and mess free and restrooms have a seating area and large mirrors!

I had the Walleye, green beans, and potatoes. Everything tasted excellent. Except the food was served cold. Also I had my medicine in a water glass and staff came and took it before I was done. Otherwise it was a very nice place to have an event.
