Has anyone tried Picabu restarunt in the Dolphin?

Here's the blurb about Picabu's form the Swan/Dolphin website:

A curious gallery of evocative food and decor, Picabu was created to delight both kids and the young at heart. The always-open adventure eatery serves up an affordable and unique dining option for the entire family in a buffet/cafeteria setting. The centerpiece is Picabu, a delightful and adventurous wood-carved and brightly painted animated character who diners will find behind every corner leading the way through the unique and unforgettable dining experience. Picabu, designed by Kakadu Art & Design in Wood, Ltd. will fascinate kids (and parents) as they make their way through the restaurant’s selection of America’s favorite foods. Open 24 hours a day; seven days a week, Picabu is located in the Dolphin wing, and also offers a 24-hour sundries shop that includes toiletries, magazines, snacks and gifts.

As you can see they don't talk much about the food just the decor. Picabu's is more like a counter service, quick food place than a restaurant. It's like a cafeteria with limited selections. They do have tables to sit at but we've only gone in to grab water or snacks.

We just got back from a week at the Dolphin. We used Pikabo several times. If you are not staying at the Dolphin or playing Mini-Golf across the street, there isn't really much reason to eat here. As stated, this is a cafeteria, with a convenience store added to it. Great for breakfast or a late night meal. A place designed to serve hotel guests. The food was typical of all other counter service places we dined at. Similair prices too. Oh, and the must have named it Pikabo as a joke, because it is tucked away down a long coridor that has many entry ways and right angles. You only have to watch a minute or so to see someone peeking around a corner looking for it.

Picabu (TUBBIES) is a Buffeteria.
It's great when you get back from the parks at 1am and need a little something but to make a treck there to eat... . Don't bother.
Don't get me wrong it's great for what it is. and we would be lost without it being there when we stay at the dolphin, very convienent, just mall food.
