   Place was not busy, no door staff so found a table ourselves. Several staff members walked past the table and nobody stopped to give us a menu or take our drink order. We observed staff members chatting amongst themselves at the bar and still nobody coming to the table. After several more minutes with no sign of any service we left. Informing the staff at the bar we were leaving they seemed surprised. No kidding, pay attention to the room and save your chit chat for when you are not working.

   Had my daughter’s birthday party here . The food and service was excellent. Kids had a great time bowling too. Parents also enjoyed themselves. Everyone loved their experience here. Definitely will return.

   It was a quiet evening, our server was wonderful. Food was a little above average but there was more we would like to try.

   Beef Dip was awful and Mac and Cheese changed / went down hill. Had a better experience last time but this needed improvement.

   Ambience and service was great. The food was subpar. The chicken carbonara was dry. The chicken was overcooked. The lemongrass chicken bowl was flavourless. The only saving grace was the pizza and wings which were average.

   Duck pin bowling is an awesome addition to a night out! We played for 90 minutes after having dinner and would recommend ending the night this way. Great music and lots of laughs. It’s arguably more difficult than regular bowling which makes for an unexpected challenge!

    Food was pretty good. Customer service and organization of the restaurant lacking. We waited for 10 minutes at the entrance and no one came to check us in for our reservation. We were clearly visible to the bartender and what appeared to be a male manager. We had to stop by the bar and the bartender sat us at a reserved booth. Once we sat we waited 15 minutes for someone to come, only for her to approach us and say “this is for a reservation”. Which we then replied we had one and we were told to sit there. It appeared we were seated at the wrong table, which is really not the customer’s problem. Our server’s approach was overall not friendly and only checked in with us once after the food came, didn’t ask us if we wanted more to drink. We will probably try again since the food was good and the bowling was fun.
