    Friendly staff, affordable simulator rentals, and tasty cocktails. There is a decent food menu, but we didn't try anything.

    The food here is so good! I love to come here and watch sports on the projectors with my friends.

    Went to the range for appetizers and wine. Wednesdays they have half price bottles of wine and charcuterie boards. We had the charcuterie and the pretzels.. both were delicious. Nice size for a big group. The pretzels had two cheeses and both were good. One spicier then the other. The wine selection was large and we had the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. Great atmosphere especially if you golf!

    The Food The Food The Food was AMAZING!!!! CC our server was Great! You can tell she definitely loves her job! Inside was way cool. We can't wait to go back for more food and to hang in the golf simulator's.......

    Buffalo Prairie Fire Chicken Flatbread

    Went here a bit ago to get dinner with my family. We just went for the food since we're not really into golfing so I will just speak on that side of things in the review. We ordered pretzel sticks and wings for our appetizers and those were all really good. I personally got one of their flatbread and was pleasantly surprised by it! It is not something I normally eat but it was so delicious! The perfect amount of cheese and crunchiness! And it even headed up good! Our waitress was very nice and quick, even when it started picking up closer to the end of our visit. I liked that the dining area was separated from the golfing areas so it didn't feel so packed and loud in there. It would have been overwhelming if there were people moving all around me. Overall, a great place for food!

    We loved the food here! They honored my free appetizer from yelp yay. So the croquettes were good! Our waitress was a sweetheart. The food was pricey for what it really was - for example some of their food posted online is NOT how they serve it. At least that's what the waitress told me. So my lobster Mac and cheese is in comparison to the one below. Kinda deceiving but that's my only complaint. Didn't get to play golf but maybe next time.

    I can't believe this place is not more talked about. My husband took me here for Valentine's Day and I won't lie at first I was like uhh we're going where for Valentine's Day?? But I'm so glad he did because WOW! The steak was the best steak I've ever had in my life. Literally melt in your mouth and seasoned to perfection. I've had some expensive steak and none come close to this one. My husband couldn't even speak he was blown away. Their lobster Mac pretty good too, needed a little salt & pepper but very tasty! & their soft pretzels 100/10! The best soft pretzels I've ever had. Definitely put this on your list to try, I promise ya won't be disappointed!

    I would recommend going to this restaurant, not just for the golf simulator experience but the food and drinks. They have great food and high end cocktails that make for a great evening.

    All American Bison Burger
    Michel S.

    I came over by a reference as I was craving a burger. I was excited to stop by as it was recommended. I walked in and the restaurant just opened so they were not that busy. I sat at the bar and the bartender was nice, she greeted me and asked me what to drink and gave me a glass of water right away. A few minutes later I think that manager started chatting with the bartender so I was not being attended. I think that they had a work conversation and it was intense because they kept on going. Finally the bartender came over and took the time to go over the menu with me. I ordered the Bison All American burger and it was delicious. The bacon butter gave it somewhat of a sweet taste and the pretzel bun gave it the salty flavor. The burger was messy and messy burgers are for the most part good. I wanted ketchup and tomatoes and the bartender was very helpful in that instance but never asked me how the burger tasted or followed up to see if I was okay. The manager happened to go by the bar and asked me if everything was good. Over the food was good but the service could improve a little and maybe because they just opened they were not in there game. If I could do it over, I would go to another restaurant. In fact, they should learn from the Texas Roadhouse Bartenders in how to treat and communicate with their clients. I wish them the best but I'll be going some place else next time and if I could have I would have giving them 3.5 stars but it is not possible. Food = good Service = mediocre/room for improvement.

    Got a few balls

    Round two for this establishment. Today was an early evening diner in the middle of the week. I honestly thought this place would be busier but I was seated right away. YELP dont forget to check in and get your free App! I ordered the buffalo wings as my free appetizer and a lavender lemonade. Oh I like the lemonade but I might try an adult drink next time. My girlfriend got the potatoes in the cheese sauce. They were crunchy balls of mashed potatoes and bacon. Yum. My meal was the bigger side. I got the lobster Mac and cheese. I'm in love with this. Yum. As it's the perfect size for me. My friend got a burger as my other friend got the flat bread with steak on it. Oh that was super tasty. I'm still impressed with the food ad's in the right price range especially with the free appetizer. The waiter was super cool. When my girlfriend asked for more lemons he brought her a bowl full. Maybe next time I'll get up the nerve to hit a few balls.

    Great whiskey selection
    Elizabeth W.

    Good upscale place, great location right next to Lifetime fitness. Very clean everything looks really nice and new. Their bloody marys are ok, nothing spectacular, and it is also kinda of pricey. Waiters are very cool and polite. Great selection of whiskey here. All in all good experience I've checked in and got free appetizer

There were two other tables in the whole restaurant so needless to say it was quiet. Our server was sweet but obviously not trained on efficient and fast service but was probably encouraged to run like a bunny when things go sideways. We ordered two glasses of wine and an old fashioned. Figured I just got off of a plane so why not get the evening going with some bourbon and have a Plan B with the glass of wine when I am ready. Two glasses of wine were delivered but no old fashioned. Who does this? Anyhow, old fashioned came out next. We ordered a cup of soup and a small salad to start with and then ordered a burger, medium, with fries and the pasta bolognese. The soup and salad came out but there was a long stretch of time before entrees came out. When they finally arrived the burger was very rare inside so my wife let the server know and she apologized and scurried off. I tried to wait but it was getting cold so I slowly nibbled. After 20 minutes, I flagged down our server and asked if the burger was coming out and she said "oh, do you want another one"? It was now 9pm and they were closing but we were not leaving until we enjoyed a medium burger. When the new burger came out, she said the "owner made it himself. We cut it in half to check the temperature it was still pink. How can an owner of a restaurant not know how to make a medium-medium well burger? And why didn't he walk out and deliver it himself and apologize? Not a word! My dish was finished and plate was gone while my wife finally had her burger. We had planned to eat together that was not going to happen tonite. She ate half and we took the rest of it to go. With wine, an old fashioned and the worst dinner experience, we spent $174 with tip. Huge mistake. Here is my tip: train your servers on how to take care of customers. To the cooks, invest in a thermometer if you can't tell when a burger is medium. To the owner, step out and make sure your customers are happy and enjoying your food.

It had a great flavor and was nicely prepared and came out incredibly quick. I highly recommend it. For dinner, two in our group got the glazed salmon. They both said it was pretty good, but not a lot of heft in the flavor. Another in our party got the pesto pasta. He also said it was good and had a very strong pesto flavor. I got the red trout, which is blackened, but the blackening was on top of the skin, which is something I usually leave behind. I know many people love the skin on fish, but I prefer to not have that as part of my experience. The salsa it came with was good but the trout was very bland without the blackening. Our server was very good and the ambience is nice. It's reasonably quiet and on the night we went they were about 1/2 to 3/4 full Overall, it was OK.

We both love mezcal (and it was even Vida...a favorite), so really like the Oaxacan - and the delivery from a smoked bottle is always fun to watch. For our meal, we first shared the Korean Fried Cauliflower (see picture), a recommendation from our great server, Jordan. It was delicious (yes, I was close to licking the bowl for the extra bbq sauce...). We then asked Jordan for her 2nd favorite recommendation, the Mini Wellington (see picture) and also tried it. It too was awesome - very tender beef encased in a light, crispy wrap - and again, a great dipping sauce as a complement!

We created our own pizza and added it, and the fake meat had a unique flavor with the same emphasis on freshness. The best appetizer is the portobello mushroom fries. The sauces they come with are so delicious and really make the dish. For dessert, we had the pistachio tiramisu. It was very good, but I would not call it a traditional tiramisu. It tasted more like a crème brûlée style lemon mascarpone with pistachios. Still really good, just different than expected. Overall, this is definitely one of the best Italian restaurants around and well worth visiting with a more formal, date night vibe.
