| - I'm totally digging Lucky Strike. It is sleek, urban, and sexy - strange for a bowling alley, but I can't think of a better way to describe the vibe there. I almost felt weird bringing my kid with me to bowl, since the place felt so grown-up. Luckily, we picked a kid-friendly time (Sunday morning), and the place was nearly empty.
We had fantastic service from everyone - the hostess, the guy who checked us in, and our waitress. Our waitress was particularly awesome. She didn't even bat an eye when our 4-year-old knocked over a glass of water. I was happily surprised at how welcome they made us feel. We sampled the Parmesan and Herb Fries, which were tasty, but I was wishing for more herbs and less cheese. Maybe an interesting dipping sauce? The menu looked interesting, especially compared to typical bowling alley food. Looking forward to a return visit that includes a full meal!
The only downside is the price - $28 (not including food) for 3 of us to bowl one game, with shoe rental. Maybe it is just my lack of recent bowling experience, but that seemed pretty high to me. Luckily, the service and atmosphere made up the difference, and we won't hesitate to return.
