We truly loved spending a few hrs before game with friends and family in our suite playing games. The smash burger was the best I ever had. The staff checked in on us at least every 15 min. It was a great experience and our group decided to make this place our annual pregame hangout. Totally recommend.

I booked this reservation for my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. I didn’t accompany them to the restaurant, but wanted to pay for their meal. The staff was courteous and assured me throughout the entire process that my card I gave them would be used to pay for the reservation. My parents said the food and ambiance were amazing “like we weren’t even in Columbus!”
