Snack Bar was a new concept from the folks behind the nearby Schmitty's. While the latter had dim…read moremood lighting, live music, and a rear garden, Snack Bar was bright and offered a back room for kids to play. Giving parents a venue to enjoy a beer while their children mingled was an interesting concept. I was unsure how the vibe would be to visit without kids, but, thankfully, it was not too rowdy on that Saturday evening. It was around 6:30 pm, and there were two families in the main sports bar area, but their children were quietly enjoying themselves. The back room seemed to have wrapped up for the evening, so we did not feel that out of place indulging in our cocktails in the main room. We sat at the bar and received excellent service from a friendly bartender. We did not order any of their light bites or snacks, but were really there to indulge in a beverage. While it was more of a sports bar, they did offer several custom, seasonal cocktails. I tried the Apple Cider Spritz, which included prosecco, Aperol, apple cider, and cinnamon. The bitter Aperol helped balance the sweetness from the cider, but the drink could have used more bubbles. After we finished our beverages, the bartender showed us the kids' playroom, which had air hockey, some small climbing platforms, a small table with chairs, and so on. It was mainly a large space that was on the empty side, but perhaps they will add more interactive toys as times goes on. Regardless, it definitely was an unique spot that would clearly attract families with children of all ages. We will go back, but will try to stick to times where it will be more peaceful and adult-focused.

Definitely worth checking out. Kids under 2 are free.

I prefer their arcade games more than their indoor playground but I would return especially if I need drain my little one out when other indoor playgrounds are closed.

The claw machine has a very high payout. We tried 10 times and still not able to get it. Overall my kids did have a good time and they did enjoy the playground.

Jersey Jungle is quite small compared to its sister playground, Jersey Sea on the 1st floor. Every time I pass Jersey Jungle, I always see it booked by a group for a birthday party so I cannot go in. They send you to Jersey Sea instead. Because of the size of Jersey Jungle, I was able to spot my 3-year-old daughter everywhere. She was not hard to miss. The whole play center was a square so I did not need to go through alleys or long hallways to find my kid. The ball pit had a lot of balls so you could jump and fall in it without hurting yourself. There were just 2 slides that were plastic and yellow. These slides went down fast. There were also barrels where my daughter was spinning in and had a lot of fun. The bathroom was unisex and clean. I did not have shoes on and just socks and thankfully there were no wet spots on the floor. The staff was nice and attentive. Signing the waiver before going in was not a problem. It was easy to access the waiver using the QR code on the window. There were many strollers outside and they were untouched so it was safe and kid-friendly. I definitely recommend any kid and parent who have downtime for 2 hours in the mall to come here and enjoy.

Sitting up close to the kitchen, we got to see them cook and plate their appetizers, entree and desserts dishes from scratch, incorporating the ingredients that were given to them. Throughout the cooking, we also interacted with the chefs, asking them about the dishes, and also getting some samples of the dishes before they were served. We arrived for Sunday dinner reservation right on time. It was small space with about 20 spots. BYOB place, no cork fee. Half of the seat were around the kitchen. There was a scoring sheet for each guest with names of both chefs, the ingredients of the day and the rules. The chefs got 45 minutes for preparing their appetizers, 35 minutes for entree and 20 minutes for desserts. It was impressive to see both chefs were precise with their timing. The dishes prepared by both chefs were so masterful, had intricacy of combining the ingredients and coming up with some sumptuous flavors. Salmon and steaks were cooked perfectly. It was extremely difficult to score the chefs on barest of margins and pick a winner. But per the rules I did pick Chef Ryan Beegel over Chef Alexis Sicklick. The host was also super nice and funny. She did a super job of explaining all aspects of the dinner, cleaning out plates after each round and serving all the drinks. Truly it was one of a kind TV Show like experience for us.
