Nice atmosphere. Came excited and over optimistic. Off the bat, service was lacking, bouncer was a total tool, and one of the bus boy was high out of his mind. The food was too weird for the sake of being weird it seemed. A mix of flavors that, imo, just did not pair well. Started with their bread. The bread itself was aight. The butter had no taste other than being spicy. Not sure how this was a top recommendation. Next we had the only dish we liked, the octopus. It was not recommended by our server. But everything was good and well cooked with a unique blend of flavors that worked (the exception). The duck in the triple duck was excellently cooked, but the sides were trash: mint leaves, dill, tangerin, pickled veggies, green waffle.. no two ingredients in this plate worked. The ice cream desert was kinda weird but could finish most of it. The cake/tart was good. No mixed drinks seemed like a miss given the atmosphere.

A gastronomical journey. We were all eating with big smiles in our faces. It felt like going on an adventure of flavors. It was delicious and so much fun (and I’m not even talking about the arcade, though that was amazing too!). Can’t wait to come back and try all the menu options. Favorites of the night: Octopus Burrata and Prawns. Also, I want to highlight how amazing the staff were. I had a problem with my reservation and they were determined to figure it out and get us a table.

Such a fun place to take my gaming nerd teenager! So many fun games, it was fun to watch an old Royal Rumble from the 90s in the background while eating, super interesting food that imo was executed really well. If you have kids with limited tastes, the only food at the bar for them is a burger w/ shoestring fries. But my very not adventurous kid inhaled it. I had the chili cheese fries, and it's got curry flavors and chili flavor, so super good!!! And huge! I didn't even get halfway through it. While I wasn't drinking, I saw the massive beer/cider/non-alcoholic list and was really impressed with the selection. Also, really good amount of tokens for the cost. $10 was totally enough to entertain an autistic kid. Only thing I didn't specifically love was the experience walking in. I had no idea when being directed to the bar that my kid couldn't sit there, or that I was still supposed to place our order there anyway. I know I'm the ignorant one, but there wasn't anything or anyone to give the confused dummy (me) a clue. I just felt like I was sent somewhere and then told I was wrong to be there. I'm not the one who works here lol But after the initial confusion, we had an entire blast. We were there just about an hour and it felt like we definitely got our money's worth!

Overall, thought the food was okay. Flavors overall didn't feel like they were super harmonious nor were individual flavors that amazing. For each of these: * Roll + cheese - This was my favorite! It was tasty-- sweet and salty between the honey and cheese. Would recommend yum. * Mapo stuffed cabbage - This was both not really convenient to eat and the mapo mala flavor was kind of not there. The shitake in this was tasty. * Ravioli/Brocollini - The ravioli was alright and saucy. The brocollini was tasty. The stuff on top added texture but eh on flavor harmony * Lamb - Was not a huge fan of the like wine(?)-cooked lamb flavor. The veg and cauliflower didn't really add much in terms of flavor and the saffron bao didn't really taste like much * Banana split- The flavors we got were something like tomatillo (I enjoyed this most! Was fresh and sweet tasting with that hint of tomato. Yum.), chocolate matcha(?) (I actually actively disliked this. It kind of tasted like anise + spice + play-doh to me. Also not sweet at all.), and something floral (this was alright, reminded me of a rosey taste). The bed of dry stuff and banana chips it was on didn't feel like they tasted very good with the ice creams. This was a heavily Ecuadorian-inspired dish, so might just also not be used to this cuisine's flavors. * Lemon bar + avocado ice cream - The lemon bar was not very flavorful and kinda muted by the purple taro(?) part. Avocado ice cream was fresh and nice. The meringue(?) was very peppery which I didn't really understand with the other flavors.

Great selection of games that are well maintained and are fair prices. Also a great selection of pinball that most are priced at 3 games for $2. All play well except the one that was turned off. Great space to have large groups or a small get together. They make the coins very accessible that you can buy at the bar but all the machines only take their tokens which is always annoying
