[NEWS ALERT: Pinstripes in Walnut Creek went out of business a few days ago. Their parent company in the Midwest filed for bankruptcy.] Pinstripes in Walnut Creek was located at the space previously occupied by Crate & Barrel, next to the Apple Store in Broadway Plaza. I met up with my friends Sarah, David, and Dustin for happy hour here on 08/20/2025. It wasn't busy when we walked in at around 5:30pm. The staff greeted us, and we were seated at a corner round table per our request. The stylish interior was spacious, bright, and clean. There was a large bar area with multiple TVs. The happy hour menu featured a decent selection of food and drinks. We ended up ordering three beverages and a quintet of appetizers. Out of all the appetizers, I really liked the Sticky BBQ Ribs (meaty and had a nice sticky sweet crust), Tenderloin Sliders (meat was tender), and Chicken Avocado Club Flatbread (loaded with ingredients). The Truffle Fries and Crispy Brussels Sprouts were alright, but not worth the price IMHO. Service we received was very good. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, Pinstripes was a solid happy hour option in downtown Walnut Creek. It's too bad that they went out of business. read more

I went to Pinstripes for the first time on a Friday night and got their summer deal ($200 for 2 hours of bowling, NA drinks, and 1 lane). We had a lot of fun. We ended up ordering a bit more food (the two pizzas were a little small for three people). What I like about Pinstripes bowling is that there are multiple games (traditional bowling, as well as other bowling games). We want to go back to try Bocce. Our server was fantastic and very attentive. It definitely felt like upscale bowling (not a gross, old bowling alley). The one downside was that our Lane (#2) kept getting stuck/breaking. So they moved us to Lane 1, and it also kept breaking. We were playing Horse, so I wasn't sure if it was the game that was the issue. Our lane got fixed each time, it was just a little bit of a bummer because we definitely lost some of our time. The shoes are also clean! We will definitely be back. read more

We haven't experienced this place so we wanted to try the food not necessarily the entertainment (not that day). So as you walk in they greet you and let you choose wherever you want to sit (if available of course). The dining looks fancy. So it started out well with our server. He immediately came to us and asked if we needed anything. Served us water and everything but we weren't ready to order our main meal just yet but we started with appetizers. Then our server disappeared. We don't know if he went on break or what. Our appetizers came but we didn't have any plates or silverware. I had to go to the bar to ask for them. The lady's at the bar stated a server will come give them to us. Took another five minutes to get them. Once we got the silverware we went head and ordered our meal. Two of decided to get burger one of which was an impossible burger. And my niece ordered spaghetti and meatballs. According to her it was delicious! My burger was great. My favorite thought was the appetizers. We got the focaccia bread and calamari. I love the sauces that went with it. To summarize the food was definitely good but service was mediocre. Guess will try again another time. read more

Located in the Broadway plaza. across from the Apple Store and next to David M. If you are coming from the parking lot you can use the back door of David M and through the store to get to the front of Pinstripes. The back door of Pinstripes. There is a public lot right behind Pinstripes. It's a multi level lot. Parking is free for the first 3 hours and $6 for the next hour. They have a happy hour. Bowling and Bocce ball are half off. We arrived 5 till 3 and got the happy hour price. It's $25 for an hour of Bocce ball. They also have a small bites happy hour menu. This was our first time playing Bocce ball. I suggest you watch a youtube video before you arrive so you know how to play. The directions they gave us weren't that clear. We sort of know how to play. Either way we had fun and an hour is plenty of time. For dinner we grabbed a table and had their super salad. I can't recall the exact name. It was really good. We split it. It was a good size. I'd order it again. read more

Absolutely love love this weekend brunch. I love buffets but only good quality buffets and this is a very good quality food buffet. I'm told they have either pancakes or waffles and sometimes french toast sticks. The lemon ricotta and blueberry toppings are a must for whatever you get, the waffles or pancakes. It is a Absolutely game changer. Love love loved it. It was the best part of the entire experience. The waffles were small but perfectly cooked and packed with immense taste. I was extremely satisfied. All the buffet food was of the highest quality and extremely delicious. The service was just ok, I was never asked if I wanted another drink, which is a no no in my book. The service at the omelet station was friendly and accommodating as well as the front desk. The seating is spacious and clean environment. The bathrooms were not kept up and needed maintenance. I would highly recommend the brunch and can't wait to go back for more. Pro tip: do to the location you need to park in the parking garage to get there. Make a reservation and arrive early so you can have time to secure parking. The parking was free on the weekend. Also ask the waitress what beverages are included in the brunch and stick to those drinks otherwise your paying for each and every drink. read more

I came for a work outting & looking forward to going back. The place was very cute/elegant inside. We had reservations for bocce & then planned to sit & eat after... but the game got pretty competitive & we ended up playing bocce for about 3 hrs, with drinks & appetizers. The staff was very friendly & attentive, they made sure to check on us a few times. The food & drinks were delicious! Everything we ordered was full of flavor: brussel sprouts, truffle fries, sliders, wings. read more

I came with my date, to have some dinner. Food was OKAY, vodka pasta was dry and hard, pizza was fine but the sauce was too thick. But tomato soup and crispy calamari were the best. I wish they would have gave us more than one lemon wedge for the whole calamari. Drinks were excellent, whiskey sour could've been a little bit more sour, and margarita italiano was good too. My date enjoyed some beers. Bowling was sold out, I guess no bowling for walk ins. Our waitress was friendly. Hostess was a bit rude to us. read more

I was really excited to try this place but it was a let down. Me and my boyfriend came here on a Thursday evening for dinner around the end of the happy hour. We got seated quickly but it took a while for anyone to take our order. The drinks, Paloma and Old Fashioned, were awful. Both cocktails were extremely watered down, and had very little "flavor" that they are supposed to have. Dive bars make better cocktails than this. Luckily, they were $10 each with happy hour prices so we just let it be (even though the full price for the drinks is $17 EACH which is an insane price for this quality). The food was pretty decent. Lobster Mac and Cheese was a standout in this dinner although there was a lot of bacon in it which made it quite salty. Spicy Crispy Chicken sandwich was just okay although the fries it came with were mediocre and didn't have much flavor. The ambiance was ok. It would get pretty loud with the music and people talking. There are no sound dampening panels but it's bearable and somewhat expected. Overall, this place is ok. If you want to play bocce or bowling, it should be just fine. But as a restaurant it's a hard pass. read more

Pinstripes occupies the old Crate and Barrel location in oWalnut Creek. They did a nice job renovating it. There's outdoor patio seating and dining available. The first level is dining, with one very small bocci ball court in the back. Bowling is located on the second level. This location has a lot of bugs to work out. Made a reservation approximately a week in advance for one bowling lane mid day. The process requests you add your shoe sizes to streamline check in when you arrive. I received a call the day prior to request we come 15 minutes early because they were down a lane and wanted to shift reservations. We showed up early but there was only one person checking people in so we weren't able to check for an on time start. When you pay, you're asked if you want to tip. The woman at the front desk was super nice and trying her best. I asked what the tip was for and she said for the check in staff. This is a new one for me. She got us checked in and led us upstairs to the bowling area. She showed us our seating area and then asked our shoe sizes. When she returned, she was only able to secure one pair of the proper size. Four were either too small or way too big. 3 of us had to wear our own shoes. A waitress came by, also very friendly, to take our food and drink orders. We asked about getting our lane started, as it takes an employee to do it. So our game probably started 5-10 minutes late. We ordered burgers and sandwiches, so I can only speak to that, but everyone in our group liked the food. It arrived fairly quickly as well. The portions are pretty good. I had the spicy chicken sandwich, which was very good. I enjoyed the tangy pickle jalapeño relish on it. As for the bowling, there are lots of themes available for play. We just did a regular game, but I saw others playing with an Angry Birds themed game, which looked cute. There were a lot of kids there and looks like a fun place for a party. The lanes look like typical bowling lanes, but closer together maybe. The limit per lane is 5 players and the seating area is pretty compact and can only seat 5-6 people. There are TV's above every pair of lanes, so sports fans can watch games as they play. There's a full bar upstairs. About 15 minutes before our time was up, the lane malfunctioned and they were unable to get it started back up, so we lost out on a little time in the end. Overall, I feel there are too many issues to be worked through to visit this place again anytime soon. The staff members were really nice and the food was good, but I can only recommend the dining at this point. There's a full sized restaurant on the first floor and the bar area and seating looks nice. We experienced too many glitches to spend money on the bowling again. I'd rather go to a bowling alley. The space constraints should be considered depending on your group size. The lane prices range from $50-100 per hour depending on time of day. Ample parking in the garage next door. If it weren't for the staff, our experience would've been worth only two stars. read more

Highly recommend their brunch! They serve it both Saturday and Sunday. The cost, currently, is $35/per adult. The selection will work for many dietary restrictions. The quality was amazing. If you like prime rib this is your place! Where else can you get a good prime rib for $35?! I am a solo diner and sat at the bar. They were short staffed but I could not tell. As Arnold made famous; "I'll be back"! read more

Review is for the bowling experience and bites we had. I think they're going through some growing pains, considering they are pretty new. I wouldn't go back to bowl, but I'd give the restaurant part of it a shot. And to be clear, it's not that the bowling isn't fun. It just feels really tight. And the lanes aren't standard size (if that's the sort of thing you care about) and we had some technical issues with our lane. It was fixed and the manager took care of an extra 30 minutes that we lost due to the technical difficulty. But the service was great and it's clean! Our server checked in with us multiple times to make sure we didn't need anything. read more

They have a great brunch that we attended. I loved the assortment of food and the arrangement of tables. When it's really full in there the volume of speaking makes it hard to hear the people near you. All of the food was good and I can consider coming again. Thank you read more

I completely forgot to review this place! I had been anticipating the opening of Pinstripes for the longest time! I was put in charge of finding a place for my department's year-end event. We had our party here the first week of December, shortly after their grand opening. I worked with their event sales manager Yesenia, and she was fantastic with communication. We were able to book several bowling lanes for our team and also had some delicious food picked out. I was quite happy how our event turned out and everyone enjoyed themselves. Highly recommend Pinstripes for any party or gathering! read more

Food is reasonably priced. The cocktails pack a punch! We got the pesto focaccia, margherita flatbread, and Brussels sprouts. The focaccia was soft and fluffy.

We had a terrible evening at Pinstripe in Walnut Creek. We filled out a survey with negative review. GM of the location emailed us and wanted to know what went wrong and offered us free bowling session or complimentary brunch for 4. Which was very nice of the GM with the exception that she never responded to our email. What's worse then doing nothing about our experience was to promise to make up for it and never follow through with it. See the attached exchanges if you want to know what happened We received her email on 5/26 and responded the same night and followed up again on 6/10 and no response. read more

Came here for a date night. It's a great location and new a pretty inside has a lot of potential. We came for drinks at the bar and bowling for 1 hr. If you bowl its 100$ for one hour, doesn't matter how many people that's the cost for one hour not during their happy hour, just to be aware. We got put on the only lane that's screen was broken, see pic. Kind of annoying, but especially annoying when you ask the manager Shamar about it and he says no one else playing that lane has cared and walks away. . Great customer service. That was disappointing. read more

Food was actually good.. too bad I won't be retuning. Went on Sunday for brunch and we were a party of 4. Brunch ended at 3 and we left the restaurant by 3:30/:45. We all paid separately and then left. I got home around 4:30 and around the same time I got a notification on my phone that said my purchase from PINSTRIPE was just refunded!! I did nothing to make the purchase be refunded, but I got a receipt which states my purchase was paid. 3 days later my friend checks her statement and she's been charged $120. How do you charge a card days later? This restaurant is taking people money and then plays pass the ball when you call and ask to speak to a manager. That is unacceptable to steal someone's money because we all are still asking the million dollar question.... How? Then when we finally did get a manager on the phone he tried to tell me that my card declined, but how did I get a receipt? Everything just sounds like an excuse, but nothing excuses a business from robbing someone for a mistake on THEIR part. Your server refunded me AFTER we left and then picked a card from our table and charged it AFTER we were gone. How? We didn't make a reservation for them to have a card on file, so how was this card charged? Sounds like something is going on behind the scenes and I think the police should get involved. read more

Enjoyed dinner at the bar while I waited for my kids to go shopping in the area. It took a bit of time before they gave me a menu and took my dink order. Had their blueberry slushie drink which is with vodka and a fried chicken sandwich. Both tasted good. A lot of bread though and fries were not hot. Big bar and restaurant area. I didn't go upstairs they seemed to have a private party going on, I'm a Saturday night. It was a nice play to chill and grab a drink amidst the shopping area and even watch the warriors game. read more

Bowling anyone? Small bites anyone? Private gathering anyone? Drinks anyone? Then head over to Pinstripes where I recently got to attend a private gathering located in Broadway Plaza amidst the beautiful shops and nightlife in Walnut Creek. It's really intimate with only a few lanes and a small bocce ball lane making it perfect for a vip experience. Check out the amazing food like their homemade pizzas, tasty drinks and fun atmosphere. Pair with their weekly events and you literally could make this your "go to." Don't have a go to where you and your friends can meet on the regular or where peeps can find you on any given weekend? If you're local then this just might be the start of something beautiful!!! read more

We were so sad when we found out that Danville Bowl closed. My daughter told me that there was a new bowling alley in Walnut Creek, so we decided to check it out. We didn't have reservations, so we were waitlisted which only took 15 minutes to get a lane. The servers were very attentive and friendly. Everything is new and cleaner, except for the restrooms which didn't look great so I went to Nordstrom and returned to Pinstripes. The restaurant is really cute to rent out for a party. read more

Yesenia helped me throughout the entire planning process for my party, which was held in one of their banquet rooms upstairs. I wanted something cost-effective, so I decided to order a variety of party platters and other items, which turned out to be the best package for me. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. When we arrived, they set everything up beautifully. The food presentation was stunning, and the service was amazing. Our waitress, whose name I believe was Ali, was so kind and attentive. The managers were equally friendly, including one manager from Detroit who has worked with Pinstripes in various states. He was absolutely wonderful and even made me an amazing cocktail. The bartenders were excellent, and the overall service was exceptional. We had a host, I think her name was "Allie or Alia", who was incredibly patient and kind. She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. One of the managers there that evening is from Detroit, I forgot his name, but he was kind, professional, and made our experience even better. He made me an amazing "Mocktail" The food was outstanding. The coconut shrimp was delicious, the sweet chili chicken was amazing (according to my family), and both the Caesar and regular salads were fresh and tasty. The lobster pizza was excellent, the vegetarian pizza was fantastic, and the tenderloin sliders were flavorful. Everything we ate was truly delicious. When I say their service is top-notch, I mean it. It's rare to find a place where both the service and the food are exceptional, but Pinstripes delivers on both fronts. Their service is truly A1, and the food is equally impressive. The establishment was clean, modern, and well maintained. The only issue I had was that they close at 10 PM; I wish they stayed open until 1 AM. Despite this, we are already planning to return for brunch. My cousin even mentioned that this is going to be his new favorite hangout spot because he loved it so much. We had an amazing time nothing went wrong. The experience was flawless and so enjoyable. I highly recommend this venue, especially if you're hosting a big event. If you're looking for a reliable and fantastic spot, you should definitely give them a try! Five stars! read more

Stopped in for their great happy hour! Sat at the bar and met Nate, one of their GM's. He was super friendly and hospitable and told us the story of pinstripes when he saw us admiring the decor. Great happy hour deals and the pigs in a blanket are to die for! Super fresh, fluffy and savory. A perfect add to our drinks and experience. Fantastic and friendly service along with a great set up for private events, bar experience, or gaming at the upper level. Will be back soon! read more

We were drawn in by the "bottomless mimosa brunch" sign out front, but when we checked in at 2 pm, we found that brunch was already over. We ended up sitting in the bar area and ordering from the dinner menu, which featured the usual pizza and pasta options. The waitstaff was hard to find, so we had to flag someone down to clean our table and bring us menus for the bar area, which was pretty much empty. We ended up ordering through the bartender, which wasn't a big deal. The place had a lot of birthday parties going on (the bowling alley is upstairs) and families everywhere, so it was pretty loud and crowded. If you're not a fan of that, I'd suggest avoiding it. The food came out quickly, and we were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes. We ordered a margherita pizza, a family-style chopped salad, and truffle fries to share among four people--and still had leftovers! If the service had been a bit more attentive, I'd definitely come back just for the truffle fries--they were hands down the best in town! read more

A large group and I came to the new Pinstripes location to celebrate my birthday earlier this month. We had so much fun! I had called a few times to book a reservation but struggled to get a hold of them at first, but finally was able to get a hold with someone to get me a large party reservation booked. From then on, the service was excellent. They got us booked for 15 people for Bocce Ball. Upon arrival, we were checked in and grabbed some drinks at the bar from the bartender Alex who took care of us all! Soon after, we got a semi private bocce ball court and some tables. We had a waitress dedicated to our group and were able to order from the full bar and restaurant menu. The food was super good and generous portions! We had such a fun time, I want to come back soon to try their bowling and also their happy hour! read more

Came here today for brunch and it was not bad. Made reservations in advance. Got there early for my reservation and they seated us immediately. The only glitch was I wish the person bringing us to our table or the waitress explained to us what was included in the brunch, like coffee, soda, etc. When we got to our table, nobody came by and we didn't know if we should go get food or not. After waiting a few minutes, some decided to get up to get food. I stayed back and the waitress came by but didn't say anything, so we had to ask if soda or anything was included. She said yes, soda is included. Could have told us vs asking in the first place. The staff is made up of a lot of young people and maybe they don't understand or taught customer service? I get better service from a casino buffet to be honest. The food though was decent. It is a buffet so always go for the most expensive items first to get your money's worth. The meat cutting station tho, the lady didn't know how to carve meat. You can tell. The omelette station on the other hand was good and he knew how to flip that pan. Overall, it was good, but the experience could have been better if the staff was trained better. Send them to a casino buffet and see how thycan be like them and better. read more

We threw a special party for my parents' 55th Wedding Anniversary at Pinstripes and wow, what a venue! Here's how the day went: ***Meet and Greet in the smaller upstairs ballroom: Our guests came in and were able to say "hi" to us and our parents while getting a drink (non-alcoholic drinks were all included in our package) from one of the two servers assigned to us. We had enough room to set up a table that held an old-timey phone to leave them well wishes messages and a decorative guest book where guests could write their name on a wooden heart magnet and place it on a love tree. We also had a "toy table" where the kids could play. ***Lunch: We chose a family style lunch where we had 3 courses that was served to the tables family style. This was, in my opinion, way better than the buffet option. The first course was Caesar salad and Parmesan Potato Chips. The second course was Italian Sausages, Pesto grilled chicken, Cheese Ravioli, Brioche Bread, and Sandwich fixings. The third course was a Sundae bar that opened up at the same time that we started gaming. ***Bowling & Bocce: We rented 2 bowling lanes and 1 bocce court for the last hour. Our guests happily got bowling shoes or took their chance at beating me at Bocce. All in all, the party was a huge success. Would I work with Pinstripes again for a party? Here are my considerations: ***Cost: This was an EXPENSIVE Option. After researching probably 20 other venue options for our upcoming High School Reunion, I learned that there are way more economical options. ***Payment Snafus: I was EXTREMELY annoyed by a couple payment snafus. First, I felt tricked into paying almost the entire bill upfront. They sent me my deposit link for a very hefty deposit which I completed. And then when I added the bocce lane, they sent me the rest of the bill when they were only supposed to get my deposit for the lane. I noticed after paying that the amount was for the rest of the bill. When I explained that my sister was actually going to use her credit card for the other half of our bill, they said they would refund me. And they never did :( So frustrating! And then we had to meet a specific Food/Beverage/Gaming minimum, which we were short by close to $50 just before the party. Well, we easily hit that after the "not-included" drinks were consumed at the party...hey a glass of wine here and a draft beer there at such a nice place really adds up. And when I brought this up to server, she said that they would adjust the invoice, but when I got the invoice, it was not adjusted. I sent them screenshots of emails with my main Point of Contact (POC), plus the various bills and unfortunately with my main POC being out of the office for an extended period of time, I had to wait until she came back. While they have no issues over-charging me, fixing the mistake was something that took time. In the end, it all worked out, and I was refunded the "empty spend" for the Food/Beverage/Gaming minimum amount that they had charged me for in lieu of all I ended up spending the day of. ***Service: The servers we had assigned to us and the banquet manager overseeing us was great. I could not be happier with how I was taken care of. Our POC, with the exception of the payment snafu was great also. There were a couple times I had questions where she hopped on the phone with me and she also arranged for us to be able to do a "buffet menu" as family-style ***The Food: I was worried about serving food to a bunch of guests that I had not tasted, but I was really impressed. The food that we chose was really good, especially the Pesto grilled chicken and the Caesar salad. ***Waste of Food: We had way too much food but due to Health & Safety concerns, something you sign, you cannot take anything home. This is a bummer and hard to swallow when you weigh this with the cost. So, the short answer is that I would definitely work with Pinstripes again on the right occasion. I'm not sure I would do a big party, but definitely a smaller party and as a fun night out with the Bistro/Bowling/Bocce. read more

The service was subpar. Bar seating tables were all dirty so we had to sit and ask for a wipe down - our waitress took our order and we never saw her again (i think she was bartending and serving) The chicken wings were "eh" - have had better. The goat cheese pasta was rich and flavorful and good portion. The drinks took forever to arrive. We didn't bowl or bocci but noticed it was incredibly quiet downstairs to have a bowling alley upstairs!! We took alittle tour upstairs to check it out and it looked like some corporate parties were happening so it felt like you were crashing someone's party when you walk thru. It's a tight space up there so I don't know if it's really "kid-friendly" but the adults seem to be enjoying their holiday company party. read more

I'm deeply disappointed with my experience hosting my son's 1st birthday party at Pinstripes in Walnut Creek. I rarely leave negative reviews, but the service, communication, and overall experience were so poor that I feel compelled to warn others. Sales Experience: Andrea, our sales contact, was unprofessional and disorganized from the start. She upgraded us to the Grand Ball room that didn't have TVs, knowing we needed one to play a slideshow. Then she told us we'd need to bring our own laptop and pay $100 just to display the slideshow--on equipment they already had. She sent the final invoice in a pressuring and aggressive email at 10:30 a.m. the day before the party--leaving no time to review or ask questions. When I brought this up to her manager, she was unapologetic and excused her behavior by saying she was off the day before. That's unacceptable. A professional would have sent the invoice ahead of time, knowing they'd be unavailable. Day of the Event: Service was horrible. Waitstaff was inattentive. Guests had to repeatedly remind servers to bring drinks--some never even got theirs, including my husband. We paid for a 2-hour unlimited drink package and barely received service. There wasn't enough silverware provided. We had to constantly ask for clean forks and knives throughout the event, which delayed our guests from being able to eat comfortably. They LOST my son's smash cake. It took 35 minutes to find it in a 3-hour party. Our main cake was supposed to be refrigerated, but guests complained it was warm--clearly, it had not been stored properly. The food was cold and tasted stale. The mac & cheese was dry and unappetizing. I had asked Andrea if the buffet setup would keep food warm--she assured me it would. That was not the case. I requested 10 highchairs, and was told that wouldn't be a problem. Only 3 were provided, with a couple of booster seats. Parents had to hold babies on their laps while eating. When I asked about it, the assistant GM, Brian, admitted they don't even own 10 highchairs! A vegan meal I pre-ordered for a guest was lost. They offered to remake it, but it came out soggy and barely edible. When she asked to reorder something else, they initially said she'd be charged again. After complaining, they let her grab some items from the buffet--what an embarrassment. They wouldn't let guests take leftovers home, which is very unusual and made us question the freshness of the food. Bowling was a mess. One of our lanes was being used by another party when we arrived. They also didn't provide complimentary socks or shoes to our guests. Brian told us those are only provided for open-toe shoes. What? The room was hot and uncomfortable. We repeatedly asked for the AC to be adjusted, with no resolution. While we were still using the room, a sales rep started showing it to other potential clients--during our private party! To top it all off, Andrea sent me a bill from another party the day after, even though I had already confirmed everything was paid at the event. As a final insult, when I shared my concerns with Assistant GM Brian, he handed me a few Buy-One-Get-One buffet coupons and 20% off cards--completely out of touch with the seriousness of the issues. Final Thoughts: I expected a high level of professionalism and service from a venue like Pinstripes--especially for the amount of money we spent. Instead, I got poor communication, disorganized staff, bad food, missing items, and upset guests. This was supposed to be a special, memorable day for our family. Instead, it was stressful and disappointing. I do not recommend Pinstripes for private events, especially those involving young children or families. read more

Went for the Saturday brunch on opening weekend, which was very crowded. Lots of choices. Omelette station, carving station with prime rib and turkey, waffle station, eggs, bacon, sausage. Cioppino and biscuits and gravy. One of my favorite things was Brussels sprouts in a light sweet and spicy Asian sauce, sort of like a General Tso's sauce. Separate station with smoked salmon, shrimp cocktail (you need to peel but tasted great), bagels, salad, and pizza. Then a dessert station with chocolate fountain and plenty of dipping items, from strawberries to Rice Krispies. $35 per person which I thought was about right, maybe a little bit of a splurge. Plenty of servers walking around. I got coffee which was included. For extra charge, you can order alcohol. Large screen televisions throughout the first and second floors. Much more to see on the second floor. Other reviewers may cover those aspects. Bowling lanes, bocce courts (a bit skinny), and an entire banquet meeting space. What I'm looking forward to is visiting during the week to see how busy the place gets. Definitely worth checking out, in the former Crate and Barrel space near the Apple Store. read more

HOLIDAY BRUNCH IS NOW $48 for adults and $20 per child for the same food and quality as was served 2 weeks prior, for only $35. I was so excited to bring my family here so I made a reservation for 6 a week in advance. When we arrived, we waited in line for 15 minutes and there was no table for us! We had to wait another 20 minutes while we witnessed those who came after us got taken to their respective reserved tables. Having waited a bit more, I decided to approach the receptionist who informed me they were still looking for a table, while other reserved tables sat empty in the main hall! They eventually decided to throw us in the walk-in section. I had to explain that this was unacceptable! Then we got a table promptly! This is now a few weeks since they opened. There are still lots to kinks to straighten out. The food line should be separated from the game line at the reception. Maybe the game reception desk should be brought upstairs to lessen traffic in the reception area during brunch especially in the rain! read more

Hands down best buffet I've been to so far... Great ambiance, seating was right on the money. And the food was perfect, everything I had tasted good. Even the breakfast pizza. I'm not telling you to go there because I rather keep this place a secret. read more

Took my kids for bowling, bocce, and dinner and was pretty disappointed. After seeing the prices we went during happy hour (games are 1/2 price) on a Tuesday (menu is buy one get one free). Bowling was the highlight but would not have been worth it at full price. The upstairs bathroom reeked of mildew or mold which was gross. Bocce was a huge letdown. It is a tiny astroturf strip in the back of the restaurant in a hallway. I was told that all 3 of us could play but there were only bocce ball sets for 2 players. The small pallino ball was missing and when I asked our server for it, it took him 15 minutes to bring us one, making bocce unplayable for 25% of our hour. Food was decent but the server seemed to not know how the BOGO deal worked. After asking his manager, they informed us that the BOGO deal is only valid when ordering two of the exact same menu item. Even though kids' menu items are the same price I was told that I couldn't let one kid order pizza and the other order sliders. read more
