Every year they hold the Maker Faire which is free. They do take donations throughout the event so it can remain free so any child can go. The cost of food and drinks was really cheap and hosted by Jack Asters. They had so many children's stations to make their own toys and play with them. Most booths were interactive even if they were showing something like a model train station made entirely of Lego. They also had an ice cream food truck and access to the museum for free with one part having a liaison. Very enjoyable day!

Expensive as all get out, but worth every penny. The meat is flavourful, the portions are extremely generous, and the service is attentive. The only downside is the small size of the restaurant, which leaves you shoulder to shoulder with the next table, but honestly, it's a price you should be willing to pay.
My best advice is to try the cauliflower side dish. I'd go back again just to get that!
