The animals seem well taken care of and happy. The have mostly tigers but also a lion and some smaller cats. They even have two foxes and two bears! This is different than a zoo, because they have these animals as a way to save them. Some of them were from private owners and some were form closed zoos. The workers and volunteers were all happy as well.

Animal exhibits are always risky. Is it truly a sanctuary? Are the animals being treated well? Do i…read morefeel icky being here? Are they teaching people how to help the animals? The answer here is an 80/20 split for good. The vast majority of their animals are rescue from shut down zoos, and people thinking they can own a tiger. However, they did some breeding years ago, so there are a few "bred in captivity" animals. They no longer breed, which is a plus. They also don't go in the enclosures with the big cats, which I appreciate. The employees were very knowledgeable. The enrichments really seemed to be enjoyed by the animals. The animals seem to be healthy, and comfortable. They very kindly have sun screen and bug spray near the entrance. The bathrooms were nice and air conditioned. The gift shop is small and unassuming. They don't hound you for money, despite being a reasonably priced experience who relies a lot on donations. Overall, while not perfect on the "is it good for the animals front" (there's too much to dive into) they did a lot of things right, and i would go back!

So glad we chose this place as our first eatery upon arriving in Jacksonville. The service was…read moreincredible as was the food. My wife loved the smoked wings as well as the gluten free options. The pizza's were fantastic. We are happy to learn that they have numerous locations throughout the US but are sad none are in Illinois. Guess we have to make sure we stop at other Mellow Mushroom locations when traveling. The food was so good we made sure that we stopped here for lunch a few days later before flying home.

But then after all of our mains, pizzas & calzones, were brought to the table, my son's MIL was still waiting for her Steak & Cheese Hoagie. Many minutes passed as she noshed on the food everyone else had ordered. We were finally able to flag down our server to ask about the missing entree. She advised that it would still be several more minutes before the hoagie would be ready so my son's MIL requested to cancel it altogether. Yet 10 minutes later, someone else brought it to our table, at which time my son's MIL refused to accept it. We were all done eating at that point. And then she had to send her check back to have the hoagie charge removed. My pizza was delicious, and I heard that the other food served was good, too. But the one egregiously late entree soured everyone's experience here. I have no idea if any of us will ever be in this area again but probably would try another restaurant if we're a large group.

Great food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere--it's easy to see why this place is so highly rated. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Lorenzo again.

The raspberries with the white chocolate was a nice sweet and sour balance. It is pricier than you'd expect for what it is but it was a nice treat.

The equipment gets the job done and there's plenty of space to move around. That said, there are a few things that could use attention. The carpet in several areas is pretty torn up, and it honestly makes the place feel a bit run-down. Also, I have no idea why they put that strange box around the water station -- it used to look clean and nice, now it just feels out of place and awkward. Still, I'm giving it 4 stars because I do like the gym and I keep coming back. Just hoping they make a few updates -- it would really take the place to the next level.
