Great food, fun simulator games, and wonderful staff! Were super helpful, friendly, and courteous despite being short staffed when we were there. Even offered us a free play on the simulator later on in the evening when there was an opening! Would definitely recommend

Absolute worst service I have ever had. Server did not check on us once. We sat at the bar before we got our stimulator and took bartender 10 min to ask us if we would like anything and it was not busy at all. They were to busy talking amongst themselves.

We came for the Father's day rib special. However, the rib special began at 3pm, which was not posted anywhere, and we were there at Noon. We decided to eat from the brunch menu instead. The food was pretty good and a decent portion. The staff was friendly, but not efficient at all. We waited for everything, from getting an order taken, to getting refills, to the check. The golf experience is misleading when read online. If you want to use the simulator, you have to book in advance for the whole hour. My impression from what was stated online was more like a Dave and Busters type experience where you could walk up and use the simulator for a fee, not a private rental. That was certainly disappointing, as that was the main draw for my dad. Would I go here again? not likely. The staff was friendly, but the restaurant's systems definitely need some work.

We were a party of 9 w/ a reservation and were seated quickly. Everyone from the hostesses to all service were super friendly. The food is decent for bar food & drinks were on the small side with tons of ice. We reserved the simulators for 2 hours and we had great time!

We visited during a week night celebrating a birthday for a party of two. Cocktails were okay, food was excellent and we finished dinner just in time for our turn to play games.

Instant seating on a Saturday afternoon even though I was late for my reservation was pleasing. The vibe was nice and even though I didn't get to experience the golf simulators due to time constraints, I'll be sure to check it out on my next visit. Both the food and drinks were very good albeit a little pricey for normal bar fare. The service and hospitality was excellent. I definitely plan on visiting again but maybe during happy hour.
