We had an 8:00 reservation. When we checked in, we were told it would be 15 minutes. at 8:15, they indicated another 15 minutes. When we asked again at 8:40 pm, they indicated they were just seating their 7:30 reservations and we would get seated when we get seated. The service was terrible. There was a line of people outside waiting for their reservations for over an hour. Larger parties had priority so parties of 5 or less waited longer. Do not recommend.

Overall very fun for parties and birthdays! We came here before and loved the marvel theme leading up to comic con. Came back for the amazing milkshakes and fun vibes, but didn’t seem the same post-COVID times. Food did come out much faster than before so that was great. Our neighboring table got their drinks spilled everywhere, and I asked for a simple cocktail I unfortunately ended up sending back because the bartender put his own spin on it with added ingredients…wasn’t good…Entrees and food overall was good. There was also a child screaming at ungodly decibels for at least 50% of our meal so kinda spoiled it for us, obviously not the restaurants fault. Probably wouldn’t come back just the two of us for every day dining, but maybe for a larger group for a birthday where we can match the vibes.

We had made a reservation and still waited outside for about 30 minutes. We ordered and got out appetizers and food all at once and we got our drinks after we got our food and our waters didn’t come out until we were about to leave. It was my first and last time!

The service was terrible. Half of our party didn’t get their food until we were all done. The server was never apologetic, after being told twice that we were waiting for food still. He didn’t check in on us either. We had to seek him out instead. I wish I remembered his name but unfortunately I do not, only that he was African American.

The restaurant was not very clean, they have a lot of construction going on and the food was not very well prepared, ours looked like it had sat awhile before being brought out to us. The only thing that was good was the waitress and the Milk Shake that was brought out.

Reservation was set for 10am, but they didn't open even 1 minute early, so had to stand in the wind/cold for 10 minutes. When we went in, they sat us close to the door, but our downtown concrete buildings created a whirling cold wind that blew right on us, so we asked them to close the door (denied) or move tables (to the back). Okay, so the wind whipped through the entire restaurant so we ordered a hot chocolate to keep mama and kid warm...10 minutes later they said there were no hot drinks because their steamer broke last night. Asked if they could modify and at least warm up some drink in the microwave (denied). The "adult" meals came (chick/waffles and steak/eggs), but my kids pancakes didn't come out. Requested to get an ETA of the pancakes when we could, but they kept saying it will be out any minute now...20 minutes later (yep), his cakes come out. It looked really nice, but by then our meals were all cold and the stack had some plastic piece in it that turned my wife's time from moderate to low. The strawberry cheesecake pancakes were missing the strawberries (they used cherries instead), the shortcake, and some other ingredients listed on the menu, so it was extremely disappointing (although there was still plenty of food). Wife's steak was overcooked and chewy as well. I don't think she's going to let us go back there! :)

Made a reservation at 8, checked in there at 745 and they said they were running behind. Checked in with the hostess 3 times between 8 and 9 and kept getting told that there were 2 tables ahead of us and they will call my name both inside and outside when they got to my name. Mind you, stood at the door next to their stand the entire time, no names were ever called. Finally at 9 we told the hostess they could just take our name off and they tried telling us they called our name already lol we tell them they most certainly didn’t as we are standing directly behind them for the past hour and they tried arguing with us about it. Needless to say, we went elsewhere and were handled both professionally and with great service. Will never go back here.

20% mandatory fee where the company keeps 3% and only 17% goes to the server? This is not disclosed on the menu and is buried on the receipt itself. Incredibly shady practice, but I am not surprised given the quality and cost of the food.

It was nothing like what we expected. Had a very odd vibe. Tables sat dirty, there were families trying to celebrate with small children (like us), while grown adults took shots at other tables as if they were at a club. It was just like, what audience is this place trying to attract, is this a club? Is it a family restaurant? It was so confusing. 😆 it was also being remodeled or something so there were areas closed off which made it feel even more weird. The food was decent. The dessert was amazing!! Which is all that mattered for us because that’s what we mainly wanted to get for our sons birthday! Would we go back? Definitely not. Did we make it the best time we could? Absolutely!! :)

The candy store portion that is advertised on their website is no longer open so that was very disappointing. The service was awful - the waitress had an awful attitude and it made for a pretty poor experience. We went there with kids thinking it would be a fun experience, but with it not being as it was advertised on the website and poor service, it was a waste and not something I would recommend.

We originally made our reservation for 10AM; we changed to 1030- and thankfully because when we arrived at 1030, the restaurant was closed ... finally someone stepped at at 1045 to say they didn't open until 11. At 11, they let us in to one of the filthiest establishments I have ever been in. It was evident our server was hungover....their coffee machine was down..the food was really good but the entire joint was filthy. If you come, come at night so you won't see the grime

The overall experience was ok. Upon approval we stood at the host stand for over 5 mins before we eventually sat ourselves. It took another 15 mins for our sever to come and greet us and then we when the food came I was underwhelmed although it was tasty. In all it was a good experience but I’m not entirely sure I will be back!

I had high hopes for this place. So much potential Under remodel. 25% was functional. Food overpriced. Server was blah. Knowing she was going to get 20% (mandatory) tip regardless of quality of service. I won't go back and would not recommend to a friend.

Requested a song for my daughters birthday, waitress had agreed but nothing was played when her shake came to the table. I was told only the gorila 100$ dessert could have a song request which I was not aware of eve though I purchased 5 shakes which was equivalent. I payed over 350$ for crappy food, service, and overpriced items only to leave disappointed

My kids were excited to see the restaurant because of the great reviews. Especially the candy store, but when we arrived. We found out they had removed that section and was renovating it for another restaurant. This was not mentioned on the website. If the closure was on the website. We would not have gone to the restaurant. More transparency about what’s going on would’ve been appreciated.
