    Decent place for a group gathering. Food and drinks are good, service not as much. We had issues from the beginning -- we'd booked a table for 12 + a highchair, and selected standard seating (vs. bar or high top) since we had a toddler with us. Got there and they tried to put us at two long high top tables next to the bar -- the high chair would've been two feet below the table top. After some pressure, they moved us. Server was nice, but not super attentive -- he missed the opportunity to sell more drinks because he didn't ask. It turns out there was a large private party in the game area downstairs and no one else was allowed down there until 1.5 hours after we arrived. Having access to both food and some fun things to do is why we booked for a large, mixed-age family group in the first place, so that wasn't ideal. The bartender downstairs was a complete jerk and not helpful AT ALL with getting us set up for bowling -- he made it clear that every question or request was an inconvenience for him. Another gentleman did end up helping and was very nice. Overall, it was a decent, but not great, experience. The Domain location is much nicer and a way better layout (all on one level), but we didn't want to go that far north. I would not likely book at this location again.

    A nice breakfast. Not what I expected for Sunday brunch. Place was virtually empty at noon.

    The food was good. It smelled pretty bad in the restaurant and there were private events going on, they sat us right next to the party even though there were tons of other empty tables- soooo awkward.

    Venue looked incredible, we were looking for interactive games for a bachelorette party but it was oddly quiet for noon on a Sunday!! Food was absolutely delicious service was a little slow but over all great for big parties

    Absolutely amazing. We went for Mother’s Day and everything was beautiful. There was live music and fresh flower bouquets being made. The food was delicious! Will definitely be back soon.

    We decided to try something a little different for an early Mother's Day outing, and we were not disappointed. We loved the fun, open space (I remember when it WAS Scarbrough's, lol), the super-friendly hostess and staff, and some very tasty dishes. Our party of 12 spanning four generations had a wonderful time.

    Ordered a table for 9. We got sat at this log table that sat 8 with a chair pulled to sit at the “head” of the table. Unfortunately, there is no where to put your legs at the head of the table, so I ended up practically straddling the table for the whole meal. Also, the chairs were quite uncomfortable, and some of my family ended up opting to stand while eating. Our server did not seem to be the most knowledgeable about the place; we had to ask for a brunch menu, and she couldn’t give a single recommendation about anything. The food itself was pretty good, and we enjoyed trying out some of the games. I would say overall the experience was 3/5, and I’m grateful they had openings for a brunch reservation while my family was here to celebrate my graduation.

    Our food was ok, nothing special. Had no clue it was a bowling alley. We just ran in to eat because it started raining. Definitely won't be back to eat.

    The entire place smelled like sewage both upstairs and down. No clue why they would even open like that.
