The Banquet

Lots of goodies here. Close to so many good eats and that outdoor rink attracted most of us here during the holidays. Food and service was excellent . Lots of games to play here including bowling and this mysterious price is right wheel at the front with a few arcade machines.. Every we ordered came out at the right time and hot!. Every food we order was delicious, and that taco tower was amazing!

***Bear in mind this is a bar and it gets busy during nights and weekends so if you are looking for a quiet place THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!*** They recently opened this location and this place looks promising. Great place to hang out, awesome food, drinks are creative as well. Definitely busy during weekends but a cool spot for everyone! Staff are friendly and accomodating to us though by observing they are a mix of experienced and new staffs Not a problem. I love the drink tower though we did not order it Next time. They also have a mini play area mini bowling, ping pong etc. Only suggestion I can give is for them to have a bouncer to ward off potential rowdy customers.

I liked it but it wasn't what we had seen online. The food was ok, portions were small and we were a little neglected by the staff. I think Maddie had too many tables on her own she was busy so it's not her fault. This place was hard to find on Google as well. I chatted with some other people that were waiting in line and they also had a hard time finding the place.

We've eaten here many times over the summer and really enjoy their beautiful patio! This is our 2nd time hitting up the duck pin bowling which is 10 pins but on a much shorter length lane. You can play traditional games or play other fun options like Horse and Angry Birds. You get full lane service which lacked today. We each ordered a drink and a few appetizers to snack on while we played. My 2 drink refills each took 20 minutes to get filled in what seemed like a very empty restaurant. The steamed bao buns were the highlight of the appetizers we chose the mesquite pork belly filling and fun to construct at the table. The deep frilled dills were nice and crispy but thought the pickle to batter ratio could be better very thin sliced pickles. The cheese curds were beer battered which I always think makes them much better but they needed a bit more cheese. The larger curds were extremely good and marinara sauce was really nice and thick. Fun place to hit up as a family.

Fun place! Great staff, fun times, and happened to go during opening night. My only complaint is that there is a lack of local beer.

Wonderful early afternoon looking over the ice pond and rec area. Great ambiance, multiple dining areas and wonderful serving staff. Food was very good with many options not seen in other restaurants. Great destination stop in University District.

Drinks were good. Ordered the beef dip and it was God awful salty if you used the au jus, had multiple people from our party say the food was super salty. Service wasn't great as our server never paid much attention to us after we moved from the bowling table to the other tables. At one point we didn't even know who our server was.

Must go back to try the mains! Shared some appies with a friend and had some drinks, it was fun! Good service and I think every restaurant needs a wash basin when you first walk in, LOVED THAT.

Great place to drink and a great place eat as it has a vast selection of beer, cocktails, foods, etc. Staff are extremely friendly. Fun activities all around and a great place for families to visit with young kids in the day. Music is great as well.

Fun place, great service and a good variety of food and drink on the menu.
