La Tavola is the worst meal I've had in years. Caprese salad was ice cold & laying in a river of olive oil. Then they charged $2.00 extra for blue cheese (without being told in advance) which was the best part of the salad. All that we could taste in our main dishes was salt & it was way overpriced for the lack of quality. Then to top it off, the waiter took our card, gave us everything to sign, and we've been waiting 15 minutes without the return of our card. We had to hunt down the waiter to get the card & he said "oh Jesus it slipped into my pocket" & pulled it out of his pants pocket. Olive Garden has better food. Since it is BYOB, that must be what brings people here...you get drunk & anything tastes good I guess.

Expensive, but worth it! I got to feed a giraffe. That was cool. Lots of different animals, and the nicest petting zoo I've ever seen (the deer ate our map, though). All the places to buy food carry generic stuff like hotdogs and ice cream (I got suckered in and bought an ice cream sandwich for $3). Nothing fancy here. I don't know if I was just tired today or what, but I was pretty exhausted by the end of the whole thing, so I'd bring kids here just to have them conk out in the car on the drive home. I was kind of bummed that they don't have elephants. But that's a pretty petty thing to complain about when you can get licked by a giraffe or hand some food to a monkey. On top of all the great animals to see out-of-doors, their small mammal and reptile buildings are pretty impressive.

This is the worst company and the worst exp I have ever had. Save yourself being over charged and damages to your furniture. I will never use this company again! If i could give them no stars I would.

Went to this place before Christmas and we ordered a couple lbs of shrimp and crawfish. We are a regular at their angry crab Mesa location and expect the same taste with the tri-fecta sauce, but it was disappointing to say the least, there wasn't enough garlic or any butter in the sauce, it tasted like water. It basically tasted like watered sauce steam shrimp. We asked the server how come it taste nothing like the taste we had at their Mesa location, they said maybe the cook kinda messed up the sauce recipe. I understand this location just opened and there are many things to work out but surely their trifecta (most popular) sauce need some serious work at this location. Friendly servers and the pacific rim sauce was good though.
