    Low on funds? You can feed your self a descent meal for only a few $$. Even has an area where the kids can play.

    The meatballs and lingoberry juice. Go thru the double doors at the play area so that you don't have to go thru the store. Then up the elevator to the restaurant.

    Beware the frigid bitch who takes your orders. Someone should just put her out of her misery and fire her. She looks only a couple hours away from suicide.

    No more lingonberry juice?! $1.50 for watered down fountain drinks, always run out of the food they advertise the most. I used to enjoy eating here but no more. And the cashier ripped me off!
