   Wine steak and shrimp were excellent. Steak sandwich was different tasting but good. The bread under the steak wS a little too crusty. The only complainr

   Went for a birthday brunch, food was ok. Atmosphere and service were great. Noise from the bowling alley was not too bad. I thought the birthday would be acknowledged since we made sure to put it in the reservation, but not even a “happy birthday“

   Banquet is a great place to get a large group of people together. The bowling is so much fun and you get great value for your money. The location is fantastic, service is great, and the food is awesome.

   Amazing food and great service. A little slow with the food and drinks, but acceptable for how busy it was. Would 100% recommend and eat here again.

   I was taken aback when the hostess seated our table and proceeds to tell us that we had until 720pm and then we had to leave our table due to other reservations. And she asked if that was ok. My response was no. I made this reservation and it will take however long it takes. It took our server a good 20 mins to come over with water and introduce herself. She went to other tables seated after us and stated their orders. So how can one be expected to leave in a certain time frame. Perhaps the restaurant shouldn't overbook. My whole table of 5 was offended and actually contemplated going to the other establishment upstairs. In the end we stayed, but it was very un professional for management to put this expectation out there.

   We booked a bowling lane but it didn’t keep proper score and you have to be quick for most of the games or you miss turns. Food and Service was great

   We previously loved this place - good food, great location, nice casual vibes. Our last two visits here the location and ambience have been good but the food has really gone downhill. I’m not sure if their kitchen has changed? Go for drinks, eat elsewhere…

   Lots of great options for food. It was all delicious and the service was great. Added bonus if you decide to bowl which is lots of fun.

    Place was not busy, no door staff so found a table ourselves. Several staff members walked past the table and nobody stopped to give us a menu or take our drink order. We observed staff members chatting amongst themselves at the bar and still nobody coming to the table. After several more minutes with no sign of any service we left. Informing the staff at the bar we were leaving they seemed surprised. No kidding, pay attention to the room and save your chit chat for when you are not working.
