   There were no games available to play as there was some party going on. They should add that somewhere before taking reservations

   Dear Naman, Thank you for your feedback. Our gaming lounge area is on a first-come, first-served basis and is not available for regular reservations. It is accessible only when there are no private events or parties taking place. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back soon! Sincerely, Recreation Bar Team

   This experience I don’t need twice. I thought it will be a nice breakfast experience but this restaurant integrated in a hotel offers some standards. By side the food wasn’t really good but price was high.

   Delightful surprise. A really nice place. It’s in a hotel but it doesn’t feel that way… if you get me

   I really love this place. The service was just very slow yesterday night. Not sure if it was because they were busy, but overall this place doesn’t disappoint. Such a great time and vibe!!!

   Music was BLASTING (way too loud). Drink order was wrong not once but twice in a row after specifically asking. Lighting was not great (too bright). Overall poor experience and will not go back.

   The service wasn't the best. Had a reservation for 10:30 and they told us the kitchen closes at 10:50. Not sure why they would accept the reservation. Basketball is 25 a person for only 30 minutes. And the bartender questioned my drinking preferences cus I requested hennesy vsop. Seemed like it would have been a cool spot. unfortunately not.

   Dear Kaylah, Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your visit. We take your concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address them. Regarding the reservation timing, we’d like to clarify that our kitchen closes at 10:00 PM, which is noted on our OpenTable page. We're sorry if this wasn’t clear during your visit, and we’ll be sure to reinforce this information to prevent any future confusion. As for the basketball pricing and the interaction with the bartender, we appreciate your honesty. We will certainly look into both to ensure we are providing a better experience moving forward. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope you'll consider giving us another try. Sincerely, Recreation Bar Team
