Tasty food, service was ok - pleasant enough. Busy during lunch good we had reservations though there might not be a long wait since they have lots of tables. Noisy, hard to hear ourselves.

Came for the bowling but the food was surprisingly very good! We were a group of 9 and everyone loved their food, just one of us had the shrimp roll which was too heavy on the mayo. But everything else was delicious - the shrimp tacos, the salads, hot smoked bacon burger, poke. Would come back again!
