The service is old-fashioned good, like the decor. Brings me back to my childhood, riding trains and marveling at the stations. Worth a visit. I meant to go to Landry's while I was there, but the nostalgia was too strong. The new aquarium might be the best there is; very well done and lots of good things for kids too.
Didn't have time to do the Ferris wheel; I imagine the view from the top at night would be striking.
