    Reservation was for 6 PM. We arrived 15 minutes late, however, there is a 15 minute grace period so there shouldn’t be an issue. We checked in and waited 20 minutes for them to set up a table. After 40 minutes passed we checked in again to ask what was going on. They then told us they forgot about us and they will now go and clean the table to sit our party down. The girl took her time cleaning the table and had no sense of urgency. Our party had kids and as a restaurant worker you should always consider that when sitting and serving. We weren’t seated until after 7 PM just to be waiting 15 more mins for a someone to come by. We asked for manager instead of a waiter. We explained our horrible experience thus far and he was super cool. He didn’t tell us why it took them so long to seat us but he did apologize and gave us free appetizers. He then went and called our server who was super sweet and very friendly. From there on service was great! Food came out pretty quickly. Food was good. A bit loud even away from the arcade but great vibes. If it wasn’t for the first girl who completely disregarded us for a whole hour, it would’ve been a perfect experience.

    Busy night for the fight the place was under staffed we had a party of 8 the server was overwhelmed keep telling us that and wait time for food and drinks was too long no managers on the floor touching tables checking service or assisting the overwhelmed wait staff. The food is terrible I’ll never eat there again drinks decent. The only good thing is the TVs and the arcade.

    Service was great. Our server worked through some hiccups with the bar in a very speedy and professional way. His service alone will bring me back again.

    No one came to take our order and greet us for over 10 minutes. Then asked the host to get the waiter and waiter told him it would be another 5 minutes to come and greet us and take our order. So we left without eating.

    We arrive on time for our reservation, but there was no table and also they told me they don't have enough people to service. So we live with my family. This is embarrassing
