"I love this place, but Sunday was bad. It took forever to get our food and when we did it was not good. It had been sitting in the window for a while. Our server was good, but I think the kitchen may have been really behind."

"The service was slow. The apps were good the entrees were not. Dissappointing. I came with three other girls and we all work in a restaurant n understand how it is when busy n always give leeway. But our server barely came around us. Had a problem with an entree n she was shocked that we said the linguini was like paste. It didnt even look like pasta. She didnt take it away just said let me see what I can do. Then when as we waited 20 min after being done for the check she did take off the meal but we hadn't seen her for 40 min after we had gotten the food delivered. Never again n wouldn't recommend it !! It was the worst place I've been in a very long time!"

"The food was wonderful! Much better than I expected. The burgers were huge and very flavorful. The loaded baked potato pizza was unique and quite enjoyable. The beer cheese fondue and pub chips were flavorful and a must have, although the pretzel pieces were dry and not very good. Overall the experience was pleasant, service good and atmosphere fun. It was a bit loud for good table conversation if you are too close to the lanes though. Not a deal breaker if you know what to expect. Great place to bring a group!"

"When we arrived the hostess tried to seat us a small round high-top table and rectangular high-top table pushed together in the bar (for 8 people). When we said we wanted to sit in the restaurant at normal size chairs with backs she responded rudely that we made our reservation online and did make any special requests. I would not consider it a special request to be seated in the restaurant area at regular height seating. She then told us we could cram all 8 of us into a round booth that would barely seat 6 but and we could only have it for 1 hour. We took that and crammed in but no one waited on us or even brought us menus for over 10 minutes. Our server was very good once we changed tables again."

"Fun spot, and the bowling alley is a plus. Not exactly a "foodie" joint, but the food's not bad. Very surprised that they were out of 2 of the 3 items for restaurant week on the second night, bad planning on their part, but they did make up for it by letting us order off the regular menu at restaurant week pricing.
I'd go again."

"We went there for Cleveland Restaurant week so we went in knowing the what our menu was going to look like. When we arrived we placed our order for the appetizer, entree, & desert as listed on the Restaurant Week menu. We received our appetizers, which were delicious, and were told they only had one entree choice left(if was only 6pm and not that busy) so we all ate chicken. The chicken was good, but if you were expecting short ribs-disappointing. The smashed potatoes (yukon gold + sweet potatoes) where so heavily seasoned with rosemary they were inedible.Then came the desert and you guessed it...the desert was something completely different then what was listed on the menu. Good, just not what we expected. Overall, disappointing."
