   Games were a blast! Service was excellent! Korean Bowl was yummy but lacking in portion size. The chicken tacos barely had anything in them. Two tiny slices of chicken and a sprinkle of cabbage made for a lacking taco. I’ll go here again but eat ahead of time.

   Good service and better food than I would have expected in a place that's set up for people to sit and play any of the huge assortment of board and card games lining the walls. It was really a fun atmosphere and a large new space that's airy and has a full bar. Smoky cocktails as well as mocktails! Great for dates, families and groups of game-loving friends.

   Burgers are great! Pizza not terrific, but not awful. Love the vibe, games were so fun! Service a little slow but very pleasant- would definitely go again!

   First time here with a group of girlfriends to unwind and have some laughs after a long week. We had the best time! Friendly staff, great drinks, and I could live off their poutine. We can’t wait to go back!

   Not worth the price for just ok food, plus fee per person to play games. Some food was ok but my husband's burger was awful and made him feel sick the rest of the night from the moment he ate it.

    Honestly we just weren’t the target audience. One server/host for the room. Service was way too slow. The crowd just didn’t seem to be what I thought it would be with these reviews. If you like Dungeons and dragons this place might be for you. Do not recommend for families. Food was just ok. $6 per person fee for games (esp when only my husband and daughter played one game of chess) is strange considering that’s the whole vibe. I can see a small table fee but $24 for one 2 person game of chess was too much.

    Hi friends, thank you so much for the feedback. I apologize for the slow service- while it doesn't fix your experience, I will let you know that the night you visited us was uncharacteristically busy which meant we were definitely staffed below what we would like to provide the best experience. The game fee is meant to offset folks who stay for a longer than normal restaurant turn time playing games and to help us maintain our massive game library, but if only 1/2 of your table was playing ONE game I totally agree that $24 is way to high of a charge. If you'd be so kind as to email me your name (and check number if you have it, otherwise just the approx time you were there and some items you ordered) I'd be happy to refund the game fees to you.
