Overall the experience was good. The actual food was pretty bland. The starters were really nice the garlic bread and the mozzarella sticks. However the main meals were just boring. The burger didn't have any taste and the pizza didnt too. I asked for jalapeno's on mine and they forgot so when they came back with it they had literally just popped some on so they weren't cooked into the pizza and were still wet making the pizza soggy. I mean it's saying something when even the salt was tasteless! The service was okay. When the staff came to the tables they were helpful, smiley and polite. However with it mainly being a family/ child oriented place not one member of staff spoke to any of the children when taking my 10 year olds order they asked myself. At the end the lovely lad serving us had noticed that it was our daughters birthday and brought out her icecream on a happy birthday plate, they asked if she wanted a birthday shout out but she didnt which was a lovely touch. There was only one member of staff who was walking round with a smile and we think she was the manager as she had a different top on to the rest. Like I say when speaking to staff they were lovely but they weren't really approachable. They had a disco on, so much more could have been made from the disco it was just some music playing with disco lights. There was a member of staff just sat watching again they didn't once talk to any of the children which it was a kids disco I would have thought they would have communicated with them. The actual restaurant is a brilliant idea and there is plenty to see and the overall experience was really good. The flashing lights and the thunder were brilliant as was the dinosaur that appeared from no where😂 Just need the staff to smile a bit more!

This is an incredible dining experience with amazing scenery, animated dinosaurs, light and sound effects and smoke. If the surroundings were not enough there was also entertainers walking around (we were there at 5pm on a Saturday) - someone dressed as a dinosaur, dancers and stilt walkers. It could be very loud so be prepared if you or a member of your party have sensory issues. The waiting staff were super friendly / attentive to the kids - asking them what there fave animals were and having a joke with them. The cocktails / mocktails were great- the kids loved the glow cups (extra cost). Everyone enjoyed the food and the dessert platter option was delicious with huge portions of each of the 3 desserts on the plate. The restaurant had been sold out so be prepared to book in advance if visiting the wildlife park however as the lights had been cancelled there was lots of empty tables when we were there.

we had a lovely time here after a disappointing trip to the wildlife park - I am a wheelchair user and Jay was so accommodating, he made sure we had a table with plenty of room and that we would be able to get to it easily. The venue is already very accessible but to have a server go above and beyond made my night! I’m also an ambulatory wheelchair user meaning I can get in and out, and having Jay ask if I wanted to stay in my wheelchair or sit at the table meant a lot to me as people often assume that all wheelchair users are paralysed. It really goes to show the commitment to accessibility and what a lovely server Jay (and all the other staff we talked to) was. The food was also great, and the atmosphere was great - not too overwhelming but very nostalgic (and better than a rainforest cafe in my opinion!). Definitely a disability + family friendly location - thank you Jay!

My 5 year was very excited to go here for her birthday meal after visiting the park. We came on a Saturday evening 5:30pm to 7:30pm which I assumed would be prime time. Unfortunately my daughter left very disappointed as the only entertainment we saw was the waiting staff dancing with tea towels briefly. There were no acrobats, no entertainment at our table, no dinosaur puppets or real dinosaurs, nothing at all. She enjoyed the interactive decor but sadly I don't think we will be visiting again as the main part for us was the entertainment and seeing a dinosaur which we missed. She did enjoy the singing for her birthday but has told all her friends 'the Dinosaur restaurant doesn't have any dinosaurs " The menu was also very limited for choice. I'd be very interested to know what days and times entertainment comes out as this is the main reason to visit

First I have to say this place is amazing. The decor is brilliant with animatronic dragins and dinosaurs and live actors and special effects making this a unique and emmersive dining experience. The food is simple but good quality and reasonably priced. A great experience. The only thing that let it down was the service. We were shown to our table and after 25 mins finaly managed to to get the attention of one of the busy servers to get a drinks order, despite multiple tables who arrived after us being served . This theme continued throughout our visit. That said they were very busy and other diners were getting great service, we unfortunately didnt. It will not stop us returning however as this was just one small blemmish on what was otherwise a very enjoyable and unique experience.

Fantastic atmospheric restaurant Great atmosphere, interactive models, great food and service - a truly sensory delight! Treated by my son and his wife and family after a day trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park The children were entertained by the music, and interactive 3D models with spectacular lighting and dry ice Good selection of adult and children menus Children’s drinks come in a prelit cup (see photos) just to add more interest Just a word of warning my meal arrived 30 minutes after everyone else’s - I think they just forgot to bring it ! Great place for a family meal - don’t miss out ;)😘
