    A spacious, contemporary entertainment venue features a reception desk, hanging lights, and a green-lit entrance. Several people are present, some using phones, others waiting or walking.

    This was our second time visiting the electric playhouse, and it's always such a fun experience. Our friends were visiting from LA (where we used to live), and they brought their little monsters, oops I mean children, so we thought this would be the perfect place. The best part was the room where the kids get to let their energy all go, throwing the balls to the wall (and sometimes accidentally on each other), it's a nice way for them to get tired , have fun, without hurting themselves or anyone. For older children there are other games where you have to figure out how to play it, like following a puzzle or pattern of lights, etc. There's even one where your body resembles air hockey. For the adults there's lots of alcohol at the bar and cool lights to zone out to while the children have their fun. They even have food there too if you get hungry. The service is excellent and the staff is friendly. I would recommend to anyone if you want your little Ones to have fun, while you're getting a nice head change and break from the usual day to day, bring them here.

    This place was practically empty on a Saturday night of a holiday weekend. That says a lot. When we (my sister's family of four, and me, the Auntie) walked in the door, a very zoned-out dude at the front desk checked us in, but gave us zero instructions or information. My brother-in-law then asked questions ("How long is our slot? Do we need any instructions?"), and only then did we get answers. The interactive spaces with video games and lighted walls responsive to touch are pretty cool. But after about 30 minutes, our 8-year-old said, "Is this all there is?" My thoughts exactly. For anyone wondering if this is anything like Meow Wolf..... no. Meow Wolf is in a completely different league. If you'd been there, you'd know.

    I swear I have the worst luck. The one Sunday I actually had some time to kill and finally made it here. Wouldn't you know they are closed that day. That is always my luck with this place. Every time I've attempted to come it's always closed whether it's for a special event or just a normal closed day. This time around it was a special event smh. I can never seem to get there when they are actually open. It's very disappointing because I've been dealing with this since they reopened after Covid started. I know I'm very busy especially these days and it's rare for me to have some downtime. I understand they are busy as well. I guess I just have sum it all to bad luck. It sure would be nice if they actually were open when I finally do get the opportunity to go on a weekday, weekend, whatever day it may be. Hopefully my next attempt I'll finally get to see this. If not I think I might throw in the towel.

    This place was so much fun! 110% recommend! Went with my man and my parents; everyone enjoyed themselves so much. We got to try all the interactive games and if we had any questions on how to operate one a worker was available to assist. You could tell they wanted to play as well haha Food was pretty good. I saw the happy hour prices after we ate and realized it wasn't honored while we were there. No biggie, but good to know for the future. I read they have live performances here. Definitely recommend for kids and adults. Great for a fun date with family, friends, or a special person in your life! Personally I think it would be a fun first date idea ;-) 100% check it out! Again, they have a restaurant so if you need a break from playing you can go into the restaurant area to dine in. The workers are fantastic! Very accommodating. Really great experience! **We did not participate in the immersive dining experience**

    This is a great out of the ordinary date night experience. We attended the Space Cruise Dinner. The staff were great and helpful. It was a fun mix of interesting food pairings, light, motion, sound & story. There is some room for improvement in the production piece (partially open black curtain, inaccurate menu at the table...). Overall it was a good meal and a great date night. I suspect it will only get better over time. After the space Cruise, we were allowed to go into the electric playhouse game area. This was a much appreciated bonus. I'll definitely be returning with my kids in the future.

We went with the Korean Chicken bites, the Margarita Flatbread, & the green chilli cheeseburger. The Chicken bites were terrible. Taste wasn't great at all, they were very very fried, but not in a good way. I love some good crunchy fried chicken but these just were not it! The flavor, the texture, none of it was right. The Margarita Flatbread was med. Taste was pretty good, but it was soggy and didn't hold up well at all. That said it was the best of the 3 things we did get. Unfortunately, that's not saying much..... The burger was okay also. Not bad by any means, but nothing special at all either....considering there's a burger place next door I thought the burger would be able to compete with the neighbor, but trust me if you want a burger, go next door! They don't put sauce on it at all, no nothing. Just straight up patty, cheese and bun. Only my 6 year old cousin eats like that.....I did add some mayo and ketchup, which helped, but still not a great burger.... The bun didn't add much for us either, even though it was baked in house with green chilli....A simple brioche would be better imo... The fries with the burger were actually the best single item of the experience. Their fries are really good! So good that I was going to eat every single one of them but instead my waiter just came and took my plate before I had finished the last 10 or so. No are you finished yet, or anything, just grabbed it, turned and left. I was so shocked I didn't even have time to say I'm not done with that. He left the crummy chicken bites we weren't eating though..... LOL Seriously don't touch my plate unless it's empty, or you ask first! Since it was a small amount I let it slide and didn't reduce his tip because the rest of the service was actually pretty good overall..... I definitely 100% will not be back here though, there's much better food in the area.

The sunrise burger is still one of hubby's favorites in the city, and the fries are incredible. I tried the High Point Mac & cheese (green chile mac w/steak sliced on top) and yowza. So much flavor, and the steak was perfectly tender. The restaurant has food nailed. And our server was amazing. Unfortunately, th manager did a poor job estimating how busy they'd be on a Friday night, so the two servers were running ragged. The manager pitched in, but they were playing catch up with the silverware and we had to wait for it when the food arrived. Which, no biggie, but it was a fork when I had steak and my husband had a messy burger. So we right away asked for knives. I pointed out my steak, and the manager got snarky with us like she got it. But then she brought us butter knives. When I got up and went to the bar to ask for a steak knife, her attitude was even faker. I don't abide fake when someone's eyes and mouth clearly say they think you're stupid or annoying or both. As a manager, you learn how to school your face and keep people happy or you don't last in management long. Also, if she miscalculated staffing, then it should have been her job to get into the bathrooms and keep them presentable. They weren't. Paper everywhere, and the walls need some serious touch ups. It's hard for people to trust the food safety if the job-food public areas aren't kept clean and well-maintained, you know? We'll be back because the food IS awesome and we always have an enjoyable meal. But they definitely need to turn an eye toward building upkeep and service.

Food: Appetizers: We got a variety including duck confit egg rolls, encrusted brie, fried asparagus, mussels, rattlesnake sausages and sopaipillas. The encrusted brie was a crowd favorite (who doesn't love fried cheese?) but I thought the addition of bread was unnecessary when the brie provided its own crispy texture. The mussels were good but a little spicy so beware! The sopaipilla was my least favorite dish. They served bite sized sopaipillas with cheese on top. A delicious idea but the sopaipilla was chewy and flat rather than fluffy. All entrees come with the option of a soup or salad. French Onion Soup: This was my side of choice and it was super salty. Norwegian Salmon: The salmon was perfectly cooked. It was flaky and moist but had crispy skin. The saffron tomato risotto that came with it was undercooked. The Farm: This comes with duck leg confit, lamb chop, and rotating protein (elk for our meal). Each meat was perfectly cooked. The duck meat fell off the bone easily and was succulent. The lamb chop and elk were tender and not overcooked. The green chile risotto that came with it was quite spicy! However, it does seem variable as others had the same side but it was less spicy. Lemon Leche Cake: True to its name, it was very lemony while keeping the tres leche cake flavor. It was quite cold. Service: 4 Our servers were very patient with our large group and did not make any mistakes with our orders. Ambiance: 4 Seared is a small restaurant with a southwest theme.

I don't even know where to start but here goes. The New Mexican Philly cheesesteak, arguably my favorite dish, very very different take on what a cheesesteak usually is (not in a bad way). I was first skeptical when I ordered it, but I saw all the great reviews on the dish so I had to try. This was oddly enough my 4th favorite Philly cheesesteak I've ever had, which is weird to say because the first 3 favorites were actually in Philly and made the traditional way. Something about the spicy queso sauce and the soft fatty tasting meat just really brought it home. The huevos rancheros: every inch was flavorful , saucy, cheesy and lovely. I enjoyed even more the parts where I could also taste the tortilla at the bottom, wish it was in more of the dish but it's okay the flavors were outstanding. Another 5 star dish! Next time I'll also try it with eggs over medium. The Xmas chile cheese fries: best chile cheese fries in New Mexico! The fries themselves tasted like they were hand cut, so either they had some high quality freezer fries or they definitely cut those fries by hand. Either way I wasn't complaining! Their green chile was insanely good. We also had the Green Chile stew, the flavors and ingredients were really good. I think for people that love home cooking this will feel really nostalgic for them. Like grandmas caldo she used to make. For me, the dry texture of the beef reminded me way too much of my mom's dry / rough beef she always had in her stews . Objectively I can say it was a really nice caldo, but the tortillas, not sure how I could grab on to much of the food with it really. I think this might be a dish best eaten in house. I also tipped their staff $2 in addition to the driver tip , and they wrote a funny joke on the plate which I thought was cute haha. I kept the rating at 5 stars but I hope that management reads this review because I do have one critique. All the food was in styrofoam and non sustainable plastic. Styrofoam especially has been banned from some places including California because when heated it, it adds cancer causing chemicals into your food. I would gladly pay $0.35 per meal to receive the meals in sustainable packaging that will keep me healthy. Because of this, I think I won't be ordering from here for delivery and hope that I have time to make the 20 minute drive to go there in person. It's really good food! Found this place on DoorDash but the funny part is it's been near my house the whole time next to the barber shop I've been to plenty of times.
