    The HUB and Playground are all one now, so the experience was completely different. We went to the HUB for particular menu items such as Ahi Nachos and Brussels Sprouts that were no longer presented. The food was good, but the menu selection was limited.

    A busy night for The Cup, but servers did not get frazzled, We were attended to promptly. Our order was simple, but delicious. That burger of theirs is terrific. Haven't been to The Cup in a long time, but we'll be sure to get back there sooner. BTW, kudos to the greeter who really kept her cool while a small hurricane of activity was going on around her.

    We loved BATA. Our excellent server gave us advice on how to order from the menu - small plates, shared with each other, great suggestions and explanations of the dishes themselves. Everything was delicious. The interior was lovely and even though the space has high ceilings, it wasn't too noisy for us to hear each other. Highly recommend.

    Food was AMAZING!!! The drinks seemed to take a very long time but tasted great. Put on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and the hostess mentioned it but never told our server so it wasn’t a very special experience.
