Service and Ambience were fun and relaxing. Food and pizza were very good. The mozzarella sticks could have been cooked a little longer.

Service and waitress was great. Food was a bit greasy and too much fried stuff. Games are ok, I was hoping to see more regular arcade style games rather than carnival stuff. Everything is a bit overpriced, but it’s still a fun time. My main complaint is the automatic service charge. I have no problems with it considering we were a large group, however it was difficult to figure out how to change it. It’s only set at 15%, but I would have no problem changing it to 20% and we couldn’t figure out how to do that. I feel bad for the servers and I predict a class action lawsuit in D&Bs future.

The waiter was very good. However the hostess was very rude! She crammed 5 of us into a table for 4. When I expressed nicely that the table was too small ( and we had reservations), she rudely stated fine then you can just wait in line for a table😳
