Awful minimum charge policy. Not clear how it would even work.
They ask for a minimum of $4.49/person plus a 15% fee per every two and a half hours. Seems fair until you later learn they want each of your party members to purchase a menu item whether or not you want or can consume items from their menu. Further, even though they request each member order a separate item, they refuse to split bills more than four way, resulting in you having to negotiate with your friends on who wants to cover the tab.
Last but not least, any additional members of your group coming late (had a friend pop in for roughly a half hour near the end of our visit) will also be charged their minimum despite not being served at all.
Lousy policy, especially considering they even charge you to play your own card games. I consider this visit a lesson and know better now to not return here unless I feel like performing mental acrobatics in attempting to understand their policies. It's clear they hope to squeeze as much money out of you and your friends as possible.
