| - I had heard about this spot for quite some time. I always wanted to go check it but something always came up. So I made it a point to lock down an evening, and here I was enroute!
Boy, was it a disappointment.
Upon arrival, I waited a couple minutes to be seating - no big deal. But once I was sat, my guest and I realized that we had got lost in conversation and had been sitting there for a good ten minutes without being helped. If we had not been first-timers, we may have gone about our jolly way to pick out a game to play. Instead, we sat there waiting for our server as it full-service restaurant. Growing impatient after about fifteen minutes, we wave down a server that is walking by. Instead of helping us or apologizing, she simply says she will go grab our server. Clearly no team work going on here...
I wish I could tell you the gentleman's name who ended up coming over, but he never introduced himself. Again, there was no apology, just a "what can I get you two?". We order a drink and ask him how the place is run - we tell him it's our first time. Humbled under his breath, he points to the back saying we can pick any game from any shelf in the place and that it's five dollars for unlimited play per head. Great!
He scurries away.
My guest and I pick a couple games and go head to head!
Another 15 minutes later our returns with our drinks. My company and I both joke to one another that we should have ordered two drinks at once with how slow the service was. Thank goodness for the game and good company!!!
I order a caesar salad and another drink. My food come out before our drink. Not shocking at this point.
In sum, I actually had a fun time playing the games. This is definitely not a place you'd come for good service or food, but I did really enjoy the concept which is why I gave it three stars. It's a place you can learn new games and share lots of laughs and enjoy good company. It is too bad though, because the concept has such great potential. If they could create a similar spot with better service and even a more clean decor, it'd be game over! ;)
All and all, I'm in no rush to head back.
