    The food and service was great and our waiter had great knowledge on the food and drinks. While the overall atmosphere was very nice, it happened to be a rainy night and rain was coming in and getting us wet. We did slide our table over and the rain still seemed to fine us. We told the waiter and he joked that they do not really have a roof up there. We later asked the hostess for a manager and when we told her why, she indicated "oh" and stated he was not around. There were at least two other areas with water coming in. It makes you wonder if they do not take care of the roof, what else is being neglected. I would recommend only if it is not raining outside.

    Great choice for family night. Game night with our 11 year old + dinner was a success! So many choices of games with a decent selection of food. A bit pricey but good.

    First time here, was hoping for a better experience. Service was good , nice atmosphere. Hands down the worst Bloody Mary I have ever had ! Watered down . Tasteless. Chicken sandwich was all coleslaw and bread . My son took me here. He had been before and had a good experience. He agreed this time was a flop. Please note. We did not play board games .

    Great place for smaller groups. Loved the game variety they had to choose from! Service was awesome, checked in on our table regularly. They have the best Mac and cheese and it’s huge portion. Let the dice decide is a great and fun drink where you roll dice and the dice have ingredients that determine your drink! Great if you wanna be a risk taker and try something new!
