| - Positives:
AWESOME atmosphere. Large space with lots of light. Food and drinks are yummy. Friendly service. Lots of selection for games and 90% of them are in perfect condition. Watermelon soap in the bathroom (which are small but cute and clean)! ^_^ Menus are cute and easy to read.
Negatives:
SLOOOOOW/NONEXISTENT/borderline poor service. Had to flag down the server every time, dishes were constantly sitting on the table. At one point, I started clearing the table to take it to the counter at which point, the clerk/chef ran up, embarrassed, and took it. I think the servers either don't communicate or don't have designated sections, or both as two servers came by to take our order at one point and loooooong stretches of time went by where no one checked in on us and we had to literally wave someone down to order. $1.50 charge for bills under $10 if paying by debit/credit. No split bills. Had to ask for cutlery/plates with every dish. Disappointed in service, overall.
Ordered:
Black tea (summer peach) - yummy.
Artichoke/potato dip - flatbread was great but there was no artichoke? Dip just tasted like creamy potato salad. Still tasty but not what I expected.
Bubble waffle - they make it from scratch onsite so expect a bit of a wait but it's good. Big scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, strawberries, bananas, chocolate syrup, on top of a big waffle with one or those swirly chocolate wafer sticks. More than big enough for two people.
About $33 for all that, plus another tea and two chai lattes. Pretty reasonable to me.
Notes:
Pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon.
Easy to miss - it's just to the right of the World's Biggest Bookstore.
$10 minimum spend per person (at first I found this to be very off putting but as I thought about it, it seems fair considering they're supplying free games).
Two hours seating limit - we stayed for five but were consistently ordering food/drinks for most of it and there wasn't a rush of people coming in.
You can also purchase games.
I REALLY enjoyed myself but would likely hesitate before going back - slow/lack of service bothers me.
