Was this place a Chuck E Cheese before? I tested Arcadia Tavern out for a mid-week happy hour and it was wall to wall kids. Little kids. This is not what I am looking for when I roll to a bar at the end of the day to booze-kill my horrible work week. It's clearly their aim, however, as every table contained at least two kids and they have wiis and toys set up in a back area of the restaurant for them. Legos and blocks flying all over the place.
They serve the draught beer in these absurdly oversized heavy margarita glasses. I had to hold my glass with both hands just like the toddlers all around me. I ordered chicken strips which I am positive came frozen from Costco. A friend ordered the bruschetta board, the presentation of which was pretty awful but clearly a blatant rip on Postino. I tried their salami and pesto (sounds familiar) and the mascarpone and prosciutto, neither was very impressive. The server was forgetful and rather dotty, doing things like taking two out of three drink orders and suddenly walking away.
I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
