About the restaurant

Time to ditch the ordinary and level up your night. Our duckpin bowling lanes are for those who know how to mix a little play with their cocktails. Sip on our signature drinks, show off your skills (or at least your style), and let the good times roll. Whether it’s date night, squad goals, or just a reason to strut your stuff—reserve your lane now before someone cooler does.

Went to a team outing here, and had so much fun! We enjoyed our food and drinks. First time, duckpin bowling and it probably won’t be the last! The staff was friendly.

Food is thoughtfully prepared and presented using high quality ingredients. Everyone in our group of four enjoyed their entrees, commenting that the venison and scallop dishes were remarkable. Dessert of vanilla custard tart and housemade cranberry ice cream was a lovely close to the meal. Cocktails were good but not great, if there was any low point to the meal. Overall, a great experience, but I question the value for the price. Can an equal or better experience be had for less? Yes.

The food had great flavor. You would think being a steakhouse they would be able to cook steaks to the correct temperature. The prime rib was tough and was extremely under done. Ordered medium and got it rare. Other than that everything else was amazing. Our server was awesome. It was nice and quiet and had a very cozy feeling to it.
