    Our server Phoenix was great, every attentive, helpful, knowledgeable. I found the food a bit expensive as well as the Unlimited card with the Eat and Drink Combo ($60 vs $40 it says on the Eat and Drink Menu online). Maybe because it was a Wednesday it was packed to the max, it was so many kids that almost no games were available, everyone was on top of each other. Not sure if they monitor the amount of people in the gaming section but perhaps they should. It wasn't very enjoyable for us--- not the kids nor the adults. I don't think I'll be going back.

    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.
