This was our second time doing the 3D experience, we did the first one in 2019. I have to say the food was delicious and the servers (for the most part) were good as well. The overall experience and value for the money paid was a little lacking compared to 2019. We actually had kept our menu from 2019 and it was much more expansive in terms of courses and wine pairing. While the 2023 experience was still delightful, it was a bit of a let down. The overall experience went down but the price went up so for that we were a little disappointed. But the food was outstanding.

Cutesy place. Be ready to spend a couple of hours there for the dining experience. The food was good but the service was long. It seemed like long wait between each service and table show. It would have been nice of them to describe each dish before serving them although we did have a menu card at each place.

Two things I wish didn't happen again, to assign us seats across from couple who made out and touched each others too much. There was no closed captioning during Nya and Ned tablenation even though I did inform on reservations beforehand that we are Deaf. However we did enjoy this different kind of dining experience. So unique.

This is my 3rd time coming. The last 2 times were Marco Polo theme and the story, presentation of the 3d video was way better and more interesting and entertaining. I invited total of 9 guests, 5 was new to this. They were not to thrill with the experience and I felt embarrassed because I have brag about this whole experience. Also, the party sat next to have was about 11 ppl, they were made a lot of noise, changing & moving from seat to seat, and getting in and out of the room so many times during the experience.

Very different CIA experience overall. The food was outstanding and that was why we were there. The 3D was kind of kiddish and they could have really made a few adjustments in the program to be more adult friendly. Service was impeccable and team was dialed in. Great overall just a different experience for us.

The food was excellent, the animation was disappointing as we were expecting the Le Petit Chef to "make the food" not Nya and Ned and the silly story line. Also, the noise level was unbearable, I could hardly hear the person next to me. We asked our server to turn down the music and they would not. The excessive noise level completely spoiled the experience and because of this I would not recommend it nor would I come back.

We are always looking for a unique dining experience. This was a perfect way to celebrate a birthday. Entertaining show and the food was fantastic. The wine pairing was a great value. Was an all around fun evening!

For the price of $270.00 per couple, we expected it would be alot more of an dinner show experience. It was very disapointing! The value for what we received was not worth it. The wait staff was inexperienced in dealing with a large group. We wouldn't choose to do this again.

My first experience was of Le Petite Chef and I raved about it for months. it was one of the most unique and delightful dining experiences ever!! The new one is nice but much less of a 'story' and therefore not engaging. The food was delicious but could have been so much more if it had had a theme built into why each dish was chosen.
We went for a birthday celebration. The food was absolutely phenomenal! Presentation and show were creative. It was a bit more noisy than expected, but the overall experience was very enjoyable.
This was a cute experience. Be aware that there is a “reception” from 6-6:30 where you just sit around waiting. We didn't know that and sat around for a while. Luckily there was wine! The staff was amazing and nice and helpful. The food was delicious. Kind of a silly concept but it made for a fun night and we made friends at our table

A truly unique dining experience! I took my parents to celebrate my dad's birthday and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. They sang happy birthday to him (and two others celebrating birthdays) at the end when we had dessert. The animation was delightful and really well integrated into the dining experience. My mom can't stop talking to her friends about how much fun she had. Highly recommend it!

The halibut and duck leg were great! The apps were meh; the crème brûlée is pretty standard. However, I would strongly recommend getting the 3-D animation to tie more with the specific food prepared than a generic somewhat silly story. But I guess if the restaurant wants to change the dishes, then that means changing the animation which would jackup the cost. But it would be worthwhile to do; talk about the origin of the dish, where and how the coconut milk were processed; this is a great opportunity to give the food presented some context. It doesn’t need to be preachy but just focus on the development, preparation, and up the stream on the source of the ingredients.

$270 for a dinner for two (which was ok) and a cartoon “dinner show”. The “show” was a distracting joke. Lots of childish potty humor. Not worth the money we spent!

I paid $300 for a service that we didn’t even receive. Made reservations then I got an email confirming the next week which we wouldn’t be there since we were visiting. I’ve sent countless emails and calls and apparently “Lena” is the only person in charge of this. What poor execution of business to treat customers that
