    Stepping into New Wave Café feels like rewinding to the 1980s -- neon lights, retro tunes, and vintage decor that nails the nostalgic vibe. But the real star here? The hot burger. Juicy, spicy, and perfectly grilled, this burger lives up to the hype. With layers of flavor -- from the kick of heat in the special sauce to the melt-in-your-mouth patty -- it's clear the kitchen knows how to do comfort food with attitude. The bun is soft yet sturdy, holding together the bold ingredients without falling apart. Cyrene the waitress Gets 2 of the stars she was great! Pair it with crinkle-cut fries and a classic soda float, and you've got yourself a throwback feast worth remembering. Verdict: A killer combo of flavor and flair. Rating: 5/5 for food, vibes, and total 80s immersion.

    The Culture Club sandwich

    This is a fun 80's themed cafe. The food was pretty good - and didhes had cute, 80s themed names. My club sandwich was named the Culture Club. We had some pretzel balls with dip named... Spaceballs, of course. There was a live band setting up to play. Unfortunately, we left before they got started. Old music videos and commercials from "olden times" played on the tube TV's located throughout. It's a fun flashback!

    Great price for two people for lots of arcade games, haunted house (actually scary), and mini golf. Walked in and was greeted cheerfully and given detailed information of what was there. Amazing customer service. Didn't try any food so unsure the quality. Amazing decor throughout! Definitely recommend!

    Waiter was hilarious and food was fantastic! The cafe took me back to my childhood. Too bad we didn't have time to check out anything else in the building. Maybe next time!

The staff was all very courteous and very pleasant and helpful. The live music just added to the ambiance. The food was absolutely amazing! The cocktails didn't disappoint! I would highly recommend dining here! The filet was like butter melting in your mouth. Everyone in our party said their meal was amazing. I'm not a cheesecake fan, but the Banana Foster Cheesecake was fabulous!

    Enjoyed a Tuesday dinner at 4:30 pm. We were a little confused if the entrance was the right one…read morefor the restaurant as the doors had a Realty company on the door. You do go in that entrance and then to the right is the entrance to the restaurant. FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL! We started with cocktails of a Sidecar and a Ward 8. YUM...had to take it slow as they pack a bit of a punch on an empty stomach. I had the Baked French Onion soup as a starter. The Caesar salads were so fresh and good. No choice on the dressing, but it was very good with no anchovies and freshly baked warm rolls and butter. Our entrees were the 12 oz K.C. prime strip and the 16 oz prime ribeye. I had the loaded baked potato and hubby had fries. The steaks are seasoned so well that you don't need any further S/P or sauces. Cutting into them is like cutting into butter...incredibly tender. The topper of the evening was a Dean Martin tribute singer act starts at 6 pm. His voice is velvety smooth. We left so satisfied and relaxed. What a wonderful evening!

The grounds and view from the restaurant are truly spectacular. Rolling hills and canyons. Details in design are paid attention to here and that shows. Overall, the food was good but not totally outstanding. My favorite was the beet salad. I would recommend the steak too, but the short rib was tough and over powered by the apple cider vinegar it was marinated in. The sides were solid, typical steakhouse style- buttery corn and roasted Brussel sprouts. Washing this dinner down with $24 Old Fashions was steep (if you want them smoked there's an additional $4 charge) and caused us to imbibe in 1 drink each. The kids meals were good with standard options including chicken tenders, but I'd pass on the surprise sundae. It wasn't very exciting--- the surprise was whipped cream on top. Maybe just call it a sundae. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Consider booking a table by the window to take in the view and ordering the beet salad.

The waiter would leave water glasses empty for extended periods of time. He took quite awhile to bring the wine & other beverages. He would seem very put out if we needed anything & rarely checked in on us. Food was terrible. The potatoes were cold, the lobster bisque was embarrassing (it was watered down & unseasoned. No bisque, more broth-like), salads had too much dressing, & overall most of our party were unhappy with the quality of food. My mom's 60th should have been special but it was a restaurant nightmare. (Also, no recognition of her birthday even though I said it when making the reservation AND reminded our waiter). This place is pricey & ambience is Missouri chic, but don't waste your time.
