  • "Staff was so nice but it was not a good experience."
  • "Good game selection. Very fun evening. Staff were friendly, but maybe they were understaffed (packed place!), because it took us asking several times about our waiting list spot, getting a table, to resolve these things and they seemed a bit annoyed at us even though it was their lack of communication."
