    Its sandwiches, salads and chicken fingers. View is nice. I had the chicken sandwich on brioche bun. Beer selection is good. Its take out style. Better than the standard fast food park faire.

    Went there for lunch. They have paninis which were warm. Kids menu is a joke. Two tiny chicken strips with few carrots and crackers. Paninis were good but the staff was super slow. The lines was long because the folks preparing food were not efficient.

    We went to this place for the first time today and it was pretty good. We ordered the turkey pesto sandwich and the pasta, along with a pretzel and cheese. The food wasn't hot and the pretzel was kind of hard but everything was flavorful. There is a nice terrace overlooking the lagoon below. If you feel like digesting after a large meal you can take the 40 minute tram ride that's very close by. We paid $52 after our member discount for two of us to eat but that's to be expected when coming here. A bonus is that the people who work here are very nice. Overall good food and good experience!

    The tram safari was fantastic. Whish the layout for it was a little different. I have a feeling with the terrain it's just what they were able to do. Downloading the map app is recommended as it will give you GPS directions. The place is a real maze so it's hard to find your way around. Crowds at the time of this post were light and helped make it more enjoyable.

    Very good place to eat. All the stuff we ordered was fresh. (We got salads, pretzels and chips.) The ladies were really nice. They spoke loud so we could hear over the loud equipment.
