| - What an INCREDIBLE PLACE!!
We came here for Raymond's UYE and enjoyed some amazing games and absolutely delicious food.
Firstly, the game selection is great. I'd never played Ticket to Ride before, but it came strongly recommended by Wil Wheaton, so I wanted to give it a shot. After getting confused by the instructions, one of their staff came over and explained the game to us and showed us how to play it. That was super helpful and very nice. After we got our bill, our server also came by and recommended a couple of new games (including a feature game, which will change every month or so) for us for our next visit. She was very knowledgable and clearly very passionate about different games.
The space is big, open, airy and modern. The perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon. The tables and chairs were at a good height, which is important when playing games (and eating and drinking).
I really enjoyed their food selection. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but considering they don't charge a cover/hourly fee, that's fine. It's still cheaper than a movie. There is a $10 minimum per person, which they make easy to achieve, and not in an obnoxious way. They even had that green tea with the roasted rice in it, my favourite. Each cup of tea comes with one free refill. I found the food VERY well priced. Most entrees are about $9, so if you get one drink and dish, you've reached the minimum. The selection is pretty good, but my complaint would be that there are few dairy-free options and no vegan options for entrees or desserts.
The servings are huge. I got the smoked pork sandwich, which is more like a fancy ham, with roasted mushrooms. It came with a nice side of tossed greens and edamame beans. I ate half then and ate the other half for lunch today. It's been 3 hours and I'm still full. That has to be some kind of record for me. The food was cleverly plated in long, rectangular wooden dishes, which means that you had plenty of room for the games. Most of the food is stuff you can eat with your hands, and not very saucy, but I wonder how they'll manage to keep the games clean!
One thing that bugged me was that they seemed to keep forgetting about my dairy allergy. I have a feeling that these guys opened pretty recently and they will iron out these things soon enough. Otherwise, service was warm, quick and very helpful. Everyone on staff seems to be extremely keen on making this business a great success.
The place was absolutely packed when we left, with more people waiting for a seat. I expect this place to be absolutely huge, considering how comfortable it is, how delicious the food is, the prices, location and service. I absolutely can't wait to go back and try out that new game they told us about, too!!
