We had so many compliments about the food especially the penne vodka, salmon, eggplant and potatoes. They even packed a few trays for us to take leftovers home. A handful of reviews said they clean up before your time is up and it's like they're kicking you out but we had no trouble while we were cleaning up until 4pm (event ended at 3). The only issue that came up is we had guests fill out advice cards and staff had thrown them out. My bridesmaids rushed to take a few pictures of the advice cards that were left so I could read them

Bouncers are coke heads and will only let you in if you pay $40 or have an 8-ball on you they can confiscate.

We came here because of the marketing we saw. Looked good with happy hour specials. Sadly our…read moreexperience was awful. We sat outside, when treated by the waiter we asked about the happy hour specials. He stated only if you sit at the bar. We asked if we could have the specials outside so we could keep our waiter. They agreed or so we thought. We ordered drinks and the waiter seemed irritated when we put our order in for food. He walked away as we started to tell him what we wanted. One of my friends ordered a drink that tasted like pure syrup. She asked him if he could take it back since it was undrinkable. He brought the bar tender out and he had an attitude about the drink saying he made it and it's fine. At this point with the rude arrogant behavior we don't want the food now. We canceled our order and asked for the check. The hostess offered the margarita flatbread for free and we declined. The waiter and bartender were very rude. He brought our check and surprise it was not the happy hour prices they had said they were charging. It's a shame this place is beautiful and has ample parking. The wait staff except for the hostess will have this place shutting down with the way they treat people.

I have to say the tastiest were the drunken birria nachos and the creamy Tuscan salmon in Alfredo sauce served over a bed of spinach. I will definitely return to try more of their delicious dishes

Cool sim racing spot close to the Westfield station…read more They have high end sim racing machines, with motion. I have a rig at home without motion, so this is a nice option. Would like more tracks. USA tracks only Laguna. Would be cool to add others, especially NE places like Watkins Glen, VIR, even NJMP The clock starts at start of time slot, and you use time getting set up. They should give you 5min to start getting set up Its a little pricey. Now again, they do have nice machines so I can understand that. But at this price level, they are competing with go karts, which many may prefer. I'm guessing that wait times here would be much better than at Supercharged though. Parking lot is reasonably large, and train station offers more parking. Seems like it may be a good place for kids parties given that it is in Westfield, but they may need to introduce some simpler games for that. I would say that this is better for older teenagers
