    Restaurant bueno, buenas hamburguesas y snacks, el problema es que están remodelando el lugar y subimos tres pisos con una persona embarazada (pregnant) no hay elevadores. Considero necesario indicar en Open Table que no hay escaleras eléctricas y se debe subir sin asistencia. No era necesario hacer reserva, había muchas mesas vacías.

    As we were leaving, the manager had the audacity to tell us to walk around them while they stood there chatting in front of the exit. Unbelievable behavior toward paying customers.

    El evento de fin de año es un fiasco. Si no pagas la opción VIP solo tienes acceso a la zona de videojuegos, la comida es fast food de poca calidad. No hay un solo lugar para sentarse, por lo que hay que terminar comiendo,literalmente, en los juegos donde se juega sentado. No recomiendo para este tipo de eventos.

    Very disappointing experience. The waitress is unpleasant and makes no effort to make herself understood (we are foreigners). The drinks menu does not indicate the price, which is neither understandable nor attractive! ! Neither the waitress nor the menu shows the “meal + card” combo, which is shocking for a restaurant that attracts diners with this very combination. Contrary to reviews on the Internet, the portions (both bowls and burgers) are small and barely sufficient for our teenagers. The noise level of the music and the conversations of the other customers generate a lot of noise, which made our conversations difficult at the table. And finally, as far as the games room is concerned, the rates for each game are not cheap, so credits are quickly used up (and some games extremely fast (ping, for example)).

    They charged automatic service tip of 20% on the bill including the game card refill costs. Food, sure I understand, but on the cost of game cards- Ridiculous.

    This was our 2nd annual trip to NYC for the holidays. I was with a party of 9. Mike was our waiter. He was very professional, attentive, patient, and he gave suggestions on what to try. Some of us were apprehensive about eating here but at the end everyone was very satisfied. Thank you MIKE!
