Usually when you go somewhere twice in a row, the experience is never as good as the last. This has not been the case for us, we had such an amazing experience tonight, the food was amazing and fast service, the staff are helpful and the environment is just super fun!

My service experience was bad in the bar. Repeatedly. The bar staff rangwd from being just ok to so slow and bad it was hard to remain patient.
The slow movements areound the bar by staff were worse as they stop serving to discuss minor issues while people line up. Even the managers presence was not much help or motivation to the staff.
3 different allocated tables for dinner was a minor annoyance but not a deal breaker.
Food was ok but unispiring and delivery for 14 or 16 of us was all o er the place.
Access to multiple games like bowling, golf and others was better and is the only reason Id go back. If doing 1 game pr just going to dinner its not on my return list at all..
