really loved this place until of course it closed down. Shame bevause it was close to my work so I could easuly come by and get a drink before heading home to the ball and chain LOL. Also I would buy discounted gift cards from sams club and I got a $100 remaining now...oh well. Another one bites the dust- I am sure more closings coming this year for sure. read more

Nice place to bowl... food is mmmmeyah (so so)! Location: Pinstripes is located in upper Kirby near the color factory. Great thing is that they have a parking garage and Pinstripes validates parking... wooohooo! You just have to ask! Ambiance: This place is cute and happening! There is a large party room, but only one area to bowl. Food: The food was not the best. However, I did hear that they had a good brunch! I can't vouch for it and will say that I probably Never will. The experience I had with their food was more than enough. The parmesan fries were good. Service: The bowling area was packed, so service was also so so! A little slow for our liking! I may return, but not for the food... for the comradery! read more

Pinstripes - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Solid place for brunch and bowling. Caveat- Do not do these two things at the same time! Brunch buffet has a variety items plus omelette, waffle, and carving station. Food hits every time A+. The bowling alley is nice and has adjustable bumper rails so adults and kids can play in the same lane. Tips: 1) Avoid or come early on a holiday. Service is shaky during those times. 2) Your lane time starts when you check in and they will cut you off even in the middle of a game. Have your food first then have a later bowling reservation. Overall we will be back knowing how to maneuver the day. read more

Pinstripes Houston Happy Hour Done Right! Pinstripes Houston nails the Happy Hour experience! The Margarita Italiano is a must -- smooth, citrusy, and just the right kick. Great drink specials across the board! Food-wise, everything we ordered hit the spot: the Margherita Pizza, crispy Brussels Sprouts, golden Calamari, bold Spicy Wings, juicy Tenderloin Sliders, and those crave-worthy String Truffle Fries. And the service was absolutely outstanding -- a huge shoutout to Josh and Jasmine who were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.

Came in Sunday afternoon after church for brunch and bowling. The parking is located in the garage connected to the building and it is priced by how long you stay. Pinstripe is on the first floor facing Kirby and we took the elevators down. They have a brunch buffet on Saturdays and Sundays for $30/person and the bowling was $20/per person/ hr. You do not have to pay extra to rent the shoes and they also give you socks! When we called to reserve the lane, we inquired about the brunch as well. The girl said that we could eat brunch while we bowl, we just had to get the food and bring it upstairs. We arrived around 12:40 and they escorted us to our lane and helped us get our shoes. The ladies were very nice at the check-in desk. The bowling area is upstairs and is actually kind of small, but luckily it wasn't busy when we arrived. They only have about 15 lanes and every two lanes share a table in between. It makes your bowling area very small to sit only 3-4 people on your side of the lane. I'm also not too crazy about sharing a table with other strangers. Keep in mind that your time starts as soon as you check-in. I noticed that because by the time we went upstairs, got our shoes on and set up our station, 10 minutes was already deducted from our time. I feel that is a little unfair to not let people get settled first and start the timer when you start your first game. Also for that same reason, Bowling first was actually a mistake. You loose your bowling time by going downstairs to get your plate and it was a hassle trying to bowl between every bite of food. We already wasted time going to get the food, so we couldn't eat in peace. We couldn't even finish our second game. If you want to take advantage of brunch and bowl, I recommend you eat first and then go upstairs. We would have waited until we finished bowling to eat, but the brunch is over early at 2pm and they clean up quick. Which is too early in my opinion when most brunches end around 3:00pm. Brunch would have been over by the time our hour was done, so we had no choice. Plus, the menu upstairs during brunch is very limited. Ultimately I wasn't happy that the staff gave that recommendation to eat while we bowled. The brunch food was actually delicious and I loved the wide selection of foods. They had a waffle station, omelet station, ham/prime rib carving station and a variety on the buffet line. I would have definitely had a better experience and enjoyed the food more if we sat to eat first. I didn't get to try everything at the buffet because of rushing to get back upstairs, and there were a few stations unattended. I couldn't wait for them to get back. I would want to come back to try the brunch again, but I know better for next time. Also Next time I'll have more time to take more videos and pics. I barely had time to do that so I didn't waste more of our bowl time. read more

Pinstripes is a more upscale bowling alley in the Houston area. It gets pretty popular on weekends and I was lucky to call and get a reservation as it wasn't showing on the website as available. (Pro tip) The biggest complaint I have is the disorganization/slow speed of the staff. The staff member who helped me didn't know how to process the gift cards as they had shown in the promotion and the other staff members looked to be overwhelmed with the guests coming in. I could tell that other guests were inpatient from waiting too. I got there within their grace period time but had to wait for them for an additional 7-8 minutes, taking away from my bowling time. Then we had to wait for that same person to escort us upstairs and choose the shoes. I think they could greatly benefit from better workflows and better trained staff. Once we got to the bowling area and started we didn't have any issues. Our waiter checked on us often but was super busy so we had to wait at times. The food we got was a mix- Their wings were delicious. We got 2 orders of sweet chili. 8/10 Their truffle fries were ok. 6/10 And their pizza was fresh but not that great. 4/10 From bowling for 2 hours for 4 people our total came to about 130$. And then the food (all I listed plus a Pepsi) was about $66. read more

Not big on bowling cuz i suck but this is the biggest and best alley. My job likes to come here and do happy hour and order party catering packages. All the food is good but I just experienced their brunch. Blew me away with the amount of options. So worth it! Definitely come hungry because the waffle bar, pastas , and more shall not be missed read more

Okay, so we finally stopped by to check this place out. I'm giving them a 3 from my POV, but they are a solid 5 if you have kids. You can park in the attached garage and they will validate your ticket. There is also valet for $10. We walked around to the entrance and were quickly seated. The place is spacious, but tables are really close to one another inside. If you like your space you can sit in the patio. The Brunch buffet is served on the first floor and regular dinning and bowling is upstairs. The brunch buffet has an assortment of, just to name a few; salads, fruit cups, parfaits, pastas pizza, chicken tenders, baked chicken, bacon, sausage, biscuits, eggs, skillet potatoes, smoked salmon, croissants/bagels, omelette/waffle station and dessert table w/ chocolate fountain. Kids under 12 eat for $16, so again I say, a great option for kids. Lucky for us, we had my two little cousins. So it worked out. Enter freely they've been approved:) read more

I've earned my stripes, and I can pin that experience on Barbi and her friends dragging me here. Summary? If you want to go to a fancy place with multiple levels of stuff and play some pretty cool games for a pretty high price in a very trendy neighborhood, this is your place. We don't have the money for stuff like this, even though we just live down the road, but it's still really cool and a very innovative concept. read more

I came on a Friday evening. Finding the place from the parking deck proved very difficult. Parking in the deck is validated by giving your phone number to the hostess. I believe it was $54 for two of us to bowl for an hour. I made a reservation for 9:15 and we were taken upstairs around that time. They were very limited in their sizes of bowling shoes. I'm a 7.5 and my closest options were a 9 (way too big) or a 6 (tight but I made it work). Some people were bowling in their own personal shoes due to this. Our waitress came after about 5 minutes and said there was a happy hour menu until 10 so she'd grab the menu. She came back 15 minutes later and said happy hour ended at 8 . We ordered and started playing. The balls are themed after pool table balls to indicate the weight which was a cute touch. About 20-30 minutes after ordering, or food came. I ordered the signature Chop salad with balsamic vinegar on the side and no wonton strips. I got the salad doused in dressing (unclear if balsamic vinegar as it was quite sweet) and there were strips. My friend got a pepperoni pizza which was pretty good. They turn on the lights right at 10 despite the fact that many people still had time left on their hour long play time (including us). Overall it was a bit of a disappointment between the shoes and service but it is nice to have a bowling alley right in the city read more

Fun spot to bowl but you have to reserve as it gets busy. It looked like it had great food but we ate before. It had a nice outdoor patio for food and dining even if you go for just that and can wait for bowling. They also have bocce ball if that's your thing. I saw multiple private rooms as it looks like parties can be held so it's large for such events read more

I'm leaving 2 stars, because the food and drinks were great! Now onto the service... for my reserved birthday!! I paid $280+ ahead for my group's bowling experience and made reservations for both the bistro and bowling. Now I will admit, I was 30 min late to my bistro reservation. When i arrived, more than half my party was there waiting for their food and drinks. The server(s) never introduced themselves to me and we ended up placing our food order and having it brought to our lanes. The service was beyond slow, our tables were not pre-bussed, we had to flag down waitstaff to place orders and the icing on the cake (literally because it was my birthday) was I had to request plates, silverware and a knife to cut the cake (which the knife was dirty and we had to again, flag down waitstaff for a new one. On to the checks!! Obviously we were a bigger party (12 guests) and we moved from the bistro to the lanes. Instead of it being a smooth transition, we waited 30 minutes after our bowling experience to get all the checks together. There were double orders of drinks and food on tickets, and multiple tickets given to everyone instead of consolidating them onto one so everyone could have a total. On top of it all a 20% gratuity included. Please PLEASE P L E A S E!!! Train your staff, give groups and parties ONE server, and if possible have a manager greet larger groups. I would not recommend Pinstripes to anyone, but with the holidays coming up, I hope you all can get it together! (Photos for reference ) read more

Went for a meeting. The room was definitely large enough to accommodate the few extra people who showed up (maybe 33 instead of 30), however they were not really able to accommodate those few extra guests. Seating. We had to go to the main dining area to get chairs to add to to our table set for 5 people. Silverware and plates. Our table was set with a dinner plate and a small salad plate and two forks, a knife and a spoon. Both myself and another guest at my table gave a plate and a fork to accommodate the two extra guests that we added to our table, because it took multiple times asking for plates and silverware to be brought. When extra silverware was finally brought, it was one fork, then two spoons, then a knife. Surprisingly, very piecemeal. They did bring extra plates and silverware when they brought out dessert. The food. Each table of five, or in our case seven, was brought three appetizers, a main entree of ten pieces of dark meat chicken, a huge serving of spiral mac and cheese, asparagus and a shared cheesecake dessert. Everything was served family style. So for our table of 7, we still spilt what was meant for 5. Since they did not make extra food, they were not able to bring out more to accommodate the additional people at our table which was surprising as I assume they have a kitchen at Pinstripes. No vegetarian entree was offered either. As far as the food, the salad was the best part of the dinner. The rest of the food was a bit underwhelming. Although, I did not leave hungry, I was not impressed with the food or service. The meeting room is next to the bocce courts which looked nice. The room was quiet and the A/V was good. The bowling lanes are down the hall. Neither were included in our experience, but both looked clean and like a nice activity. Parking is $10, but was validated for our meeting. The signage from the parking garage to get into Pinstripes is a bit confusing. There was a piece of white paper that said "enter Pinstripes here" taped onto the door to the stairs. There should have been another sign taped onto the next door, but there was no sign. So most of our party, walked down the stairs, went around the building, entered and then walked up another flight of stairs to get to the meeting room. I did ask and on the way out, the meeting room was literally on the same level as the parking garage through two sets of doors (one that was unmarked). For a meeting where an activity like bowling or bocce is part of team building, this might be a good place to go. For a dinner meeting only, I would look somewhere else. read more

Service at the front desk and with food were extremely slow. I had to check on the status of our lane reservation 3 times. Then the service for fold was even slower! For the price point, I was expecting more. Food was very goid tho. PRO PARENT TIP: Kid's menu was extensive and came with an appie, entree (generously sized), dessert, and drink. The chicken tenders had a fried and grilled option -- score. If going with kids, I suggest bowling at happy hour where it is $5/player an hour versus $25/per player. Price to bowl is the same regardless of age. read more

This place had IMMENSE potential. Lived around the corner for years. Just a product of horrible management and lack of accountability. The place was always empty. Whenever we went we experienced the worst service, the servers/waiters dont have any direction, no common sense of hospitality 101 (just a basic meet and greet will do wonders when customers enter). The host was iften nowhere to be seen, once someone greets you they havo no clue on what's going on. Tons of "let me go grab someone" anytime you ask for anything. The sad part is the food is actually good and bowling there is fantastic. Its just managed poorly. Management has 100% costed these investors a successful platform. Living in the area we never received marketing info, holiday deals, calendar updates etc. When your an establishment of this magnitude you have to do thorough local marketing. There was absolutely none done, this place should've been a gold mine if it was done properly. They had the vision but poor execution to have shut the doors. A good example of millions of dallars mixed with laziness. read more

I don't know where to start. Eating at this restaurant was a complete disaster. The restaurant was almost full, and it took more than 30 minutes to take our order. Then the food arrived relatively quickly, but the waiter left us without cutlery for about 10 minutes. The food was already cold when I could start eating. The drinks arrived at the end of the meal, and I even had to ask for water. The pasta tasted like it came from a pot. I will definitely not return or recommend this place. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for a friends birthday brunch. When you arrive you can either valet park for $10 or you can pay to park in the garage in which the price depends on how long you stay here (I believe 24 hours is approximately $10). We were able to get our parking validated at the host stand when we left. The restaurant is located on the bottom floor so you'll need to take the elevator elevator from the garage to the bottom level. On Sundays, they have a brunch buffet so it was an all you can eat situation. They had a variety of meals from pizza, pasta, bacon, eggs, veggies, salad fruit, waffles, omelette station, prime rib/ ham station and dessert station. Literally everything was good. The food was hot and fresh and they made sure to keep replenishing it throughout the afternoon. I was also very pleased with the customer service of everyone that I encountered. The servers, the chefs, the management team walking around, everyone was so pleasant! The price of the buffet is $30 per person but if you want to do the bottomless mimosas that's an extra $22/person so just an fyi. Afterwards we went bowling which was on the second level of the establishment. I'm the bowling ally is a little smaller compared to other bowling allys I've been too. Maybe about 16 lanes-ish (I could be wrong). It was cool, they played some music in the background and we had a server (Francesca who was super dope) in the event that you wanted to order food/drinks. All in all, this was a great restaurant to attend. read more

I made a reservation for brunch and bowling. I paid for valet parking the only other option is self parking in a garage for $10+. I was 15 minutes early to my reservation and when seated I had to take my 17 month old to the restroom, the seating was very tight so I asked to moved somewhere else. We used the upstairs restroom as the downstairs was closed. Upon returning, I see my group is still seated in the same area. I ask very politely again can we be moved the waiter couldn't even get through. Mind you this is a brunch buffet, so people are constantly walking. They offered another crowded seat, it's only 3 groups in the restaurant with 5 hostess. Very accommodating read more

Had a subpar experience, the place overall is aesthetically pleasing but .. eh. Brussels sprouts and calamari were good, wings are mid. We were seated and very obviously celebrating a birthday. Fast forward to about 30 minutes in to our 2 hour reservation they attempted to seat a party directly next to us. Mind you, there were at minimum 7 empty lanes. We didn't complain but the other party did, and the manager tried to come to us to explain that they couldn't seat us elsewhere lol. To make things worse, before our lane time was even up, the manager started hovering around our area, clearly trying to reseat another group. There were still about 15 minutes left on our reservation when I first noticed her, and we were still waiting on part of our food order. It was uncomfortable and rushed, especially for what was supposed to be a celebratory outing. We ended up moving to the area behind the lanes to wait for the order and pay. When it came time to pay, our server handed us one bill for the table. When we asked for it to be split (a basic request), she responded that it was "a large bill" and would have to see if she could do it. There were three people, we all ordered the same appetizers, two drinks each, and two people got one additional item. She asked me to initial by each item who ordered what, and she then brought us 4 bills with all of the appetizers on one bill and drinks/food on 3 others lol. The splitting process took almost an hour, which is completely unacceptable. We had to request a manager, who happened to be the same person from before who tried to explain to us she couldn't do something we never asked for. She then incorrectly charged one of the bogo items on the menu as full price and argued that the bogo couldn't be split amongst two people .. which it wasn't since one person ordered both to go. It was just a lot going on. Lastly, their menu clearly advertises a complimentary dessert for celebrations, but nothing was offered--not even a mention of it. Not a big deal but, still. We tried to be cool and avoid complaining in the moment, but overall, the service and hospitality missed the mark. For the price and the expectation of a fun, special evening, we were really let down. Won't be returning or recommending. read more

There was no direction for anything! The checkin process told you nothing, the servers told you nothing. Fellow patrons told you where to get your plates and silverware. The food was a 2 of five, the service was almost non existent. There is one restroom for the entire lower level. Just a bad experience on Father's Day and I won't return. read more

Coming towards the end of the brunch time, I will lead with saying I don't feel like I maximized on a chance to give an in depth review or receive peak service. I arrived for a 12:45 reservation on the patio. It did take about 15 minutes for a server to greet me, which was frustrating as I was staring at two who were staring at me from inside. When someone did greet us, it took about 10 minutes to make our sangrio Caraf. Upon attempting to order the second one, our server informed us they were out of a few ingredients, prompting us to order a different caraf. Our server was generous enough to bring us samples of the aperol spritz to try before in case we did not like it (it was good). For my entree, initially I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese, but upon taste it was super cheesy with no seasoning. Was not a fan. I opted for the meatballs and polenta as an alternative and was throughly satisfied by the flavor profile. Due to issues with drink availability, our server was able to discount some items to offset the inconvenience. I would like to visit again to try the buffet when it is fresher. The restaurant was packed upon arrival. We rotated between mimosa and the aperol spritz carafes. read more

I never knew this place had Sunday brunch. We ran across it last Sunday after church. We were pleasantly surprised. The selections and omelet bar was great. The prime rib was perfectly cooked. Endless mimosas were right on time. The one thing they can address is waitstaff. They get busy, but there were a dozen of them walking around, yet we were there 20 minutes before anyone addressed us. We had to hunt him down for everything, water, salt and pepper, mimosas, to include the check, He was pleasant but not at all attentive. So if you have a couple of hours to spare on Sat or Sundays before 2pm. Check it out. The food was very good for the price. Service needs a bit of guidance. read more

4 stars for the bowling 2 stars for the restaurant Bowling: Bowling was fun. The selfies on the screen were great. The screen tells you how much time you have left. The bowling went off without a hitch. The table in the middle of the couches is too big and hard to get around. Other than that, we liked everything about the bowling. The server was overwhelmed and had too much to do. Poor guy! Restaurant: Our reservation was at 7:15. We came down from bowling and the hostess slowly got our table ready. Why wasn't it ready already? The restaurant was empty but our service was SO SO slow. Our appetizers didn't come out before our food until we asked about them. The server said "oh I was going to bring everything together" -- why would you bring salads, wings and other starters along with pizza and entrees?? We could see the starters sitting on the counter in the kitchen waiting. We had to ask for the items. My salmon was extremely overcooked and DRY. I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked and it was super over cooked. I love well done salmon, even I found it too dry and overcooked. The pizza was fine, not great. The wings were really good. The calamari was ok, not bad. We sat with a clear view of the kitchen. It was clear that NO ONE was in charge and the guys in there were just standing around. My brother in law is a chef and he agreed that no one was helping these line chefs. Would I eat here again? No. The service was so so slow. The server didn't seem to understand how a restaurant worked... he didn't understand the order that items come out or should be served. The food was a mixed bag. Go for the bowling. Eat somewhere else. read more

Just finished brunch at Pinstripes for a birthday party of twenty. I was skeptical and had low expectations at the onset learning of the choice for the celebration. Hey they did a great job accommodating us and a singular server was fantastic keeping up with the group. It's a buffet so go at your own pace. The food was really good and I tried to sample everything there. There were no misses with anything laid out. However, the waffles quickly became my favorite and good enough to be dessert. I love the environment and parking was free in the garage attached to the restaurant. Easy in and out. This was my first buffet style brunch in several years and loved it. read more

I came to Pinstripes months back for a big event where I found the service to be lacking and the food mediocre at best. One of the flatbreads we ordered came out burnt. I chopped it up to bad luck and never wrote a review. I was back here this past weekend for a brunch and I'm sorry to say that it's not much better. When you drive in there is a garage, but no signage, so I ended up parking, taking a set of stairs and then finding me around the side of the building. Okay. not a great start. I order the Cowboy burger and ask if I can get it "medium rare" not a problem I'm told. My burger shows up somewhere between "medium well" and "well done." It tasted good, so I'm not gonna complain about that one. However, someone else at the table asked for their burger "medium" and felt theirs was closer to "rare" than medium. That was probably suppose to be mine. Meanwhile, the fries were meh. Parmesan fries, but with no taste. We were heading for a 3... then... The worst part of the experience didn't happen to me but rather someone else at the table who had ordered the bottomless mimosas. On the menu, $20, on the bill $22. Then when they questioned it they were told there is a 10% alcohol tax (separate from the regular sales tax). If it costs $22 just put $22 on the menu... the problem was the price not matching the menu, not the price. I think I'll just avoid this place from now on. read more

I really enjoyed my time here. My Corporate Office is located in Houston and happy that we did a team building event here for the Regional Managers. We had a whole area for us that included Bachi Ball which was so much fun. Now the food. The salad with vinaigrette dressing tasted amazing. The ribs were equally as delcious.

Didn't go here but couldn't delete my accidental review. Food. Service ambiance etc unknown

We went bowling at Pinstripes yesterday and two things happened that made it the worst experience I have had at a restaurant/venue. The most unfortunate was food poisoning from the Italian Jambalaya; only my (73 year old) partner had the dish and was violently ill all night. The second incident was related to the group next to us that was not appropriately handled by management. One of the party lined up his ball from in front of our lane then would run through our space celebrating a good ball. I asked him to please stay on his side and he spewed a stream of expletives. He continued to line the ball up in Fromm of our lane and stared at me threateningly so I asked to be moved. I made it clear to the server that the situation was potentially volatile, but nothing was done to stop the behavior and I spent the rest of the time under the threatening stares (at least from a distance). I will obviously never return and encourage others to avoid at all costs. read more

Decided to stop here for brunch with some friends, on Sundays for brunch they have the all you can eat breakfast downstairs and the regular dining upstairs. First of all let me say that the food was amazing. We ordered wings calamari and bottomless mimosas. The service was on point as well, not to bothersome but at the same time not to scarce. The establish was real clean and spacious, good for groups or if you her for a date that works as well. So I'll definitely be back, advice you check it out. read more

My partner and I had run out of thing to do in Houston so I decided to head to Pinstripes for the first time because it was the closest place near us that was said to have had Spinach dip. While the site that told me they had spinach dip was incorrect, Pinstripes ended up being the perfect way to end our Sunday. We didn't have an appointment and we're told they may not have space but we ended up being lucky enough to take the last available lane as the others were going to be in use later in the hour. I believe the cost for an hour on the lane for two people ( including shoe rental) was around $30 give or take a few dollars. Our dining was also maybe around $30 and parking in the garage is validated so long as you bring your ticket. Pinstripes appears to be a two-level restaurant where the kitchen and dining is on the first floor and a winding staircase takes you upstairs to a bar, addition indoor and outdoor seating, mini-golf or something, two private event rooms, restrooms, and of course the bowling alley. It was all very gorgeous. We were taken to our lanes and after a few minutes our server to our drink orders and we started the game. We ordered wine, pigs in a blanket, and pepperoni pizza from the happy hour menu which I believe was all day (not sure if that's every Sunday or if this was a one-time special for the month). I primarily ordered the because of the savings but also my partner is a picky eater, otherwise I would have ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese or the prosciutto and fig. I'll be honest, the pizza was worse than Digornio and the brown mustard and ketchup were the pig's only saving Grace but the experience overall made up for what the meal lacked. The wine was good as well but I think I'll order a white wine next time for personal preference since I drank some of my partner's Chardonnay and like it better. Ultimately I had a great time at Pinstripes and would be eager to return for dinner and am even interested in reserving one of their private event rooms. read more

Pinstripes offers more than a bowling alley. It has an upscale restaurant, event spaces, and bocce court. You have the option of doing valet or self parking in the garage for a fee. If you're lucky enough, you may be able to find free street parking. Since the environment is classier than your "typical" bowling alley, that's definitely reflected in the prices. It cost about $55/person to play for 2 hours. The price includes rental shoes and socks that you can keep. They're very strict about the time limit once you check in since there's only about 10 lanes available. Seating is also surprisingly limited and we felt very cramped once the other reservation started bowling in the lane next to us. If your group is more than 3 people, I recommend making 2 separate reservations so you can bowl on 2 different lanes. Our group of 5 was able to play 2.5 games within the 2 hours. Their menu offers cocktails, appetizers, and entrees. Again, the prices were pretty steep for what was offered. I only ordered a whiskey sour which came out to $18 including tip. Our server was great but it did take a while to clean the plates and glasses left over by the previous group. While I appreciate the upscale concept of this place, it's not really worth spending over $50 for. Their advantage is its prime location inside the loop, but my friends and I would rather drive out further to be able to play more games and spend less. read more

Interesting concept. Went in for a team lunch. One of our bosses saw it and suggested it. We do lunches 1x month (informal, whoever shows up shows up) and started trying new spots. We did some research and it showed food, bowling and bocce. Went in on a Friday at 12. Leat start off with the parking. It was confusing for basic minded people like me. there are numbers in the spots so I thought they were reserves but someone said they are there to help you remember where you park. It was fairly quiet and they sat our party upstairs. The environment is somewhat posh and modern. There was a patio and it was pretty spacious. Good: the food was good Good: the cocktail was delicious Bad: service was super super super slow Let's start with the good Ordered the blueberry smash cocktail and I don't drink much anymore (maybe 3x a year) and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this was. Ordered the tenderloin sliders and margharita pizza (had intentions on taking half of it for dinner) The tenderloin sliders (3) was very tender and flavorful. I wasn't sure if I was going to love it but it was really good. The margherita pizza was the star. It was superb. It tasted like the mozzarella was made fresh, in house. I shared with 3 of my coworkers who agreed on the delicious-ness. One even said it was the best she had ever had. The staff was friendly BUT very very slow. None of the soups or starters came out before the entrees. It took 15 min and 4x before we got the checks for 2 people who needed to leave. One of the desserts came out way after all the other desserts and only after we asked 3 different people. And by then everyone was getting up to leave. (And she said it wasn't even cool -it was cheesecake - said she thought maybe it had been sitting out). They didn't look extremely busy but whoever is staffing needs to work one full shift. Those poor people having to trek up and down and cover all that real estate (we only saw 1 person waiting when we first got there, he was also making the drinks - we saw more staff but we didn't know where they were assigned). I would def like to go back for maybe some bowling but after reading some of the other reviews, I'm not sure how fun it would be. read more
