Finding a table for three on Valentine's Day without a reservation usually ends in heartbreak, but…read morewe lucked out here! Despite it being a busy holiday evening, we were seated immediately. The vibe was lively but comfortable, with most tables and the bar filled. Since we visited in February, we leaned heavily into their specials menu. We skipped the small plates and went straight for the mains: the Greek Salad with Steak, the Steak and Gorgonzola Flatbread, and the Vine Burger. Every dish was a hit, though my wife found the red wine vinaigrette on the salad to be just "okay" rather than great. For drinks, we stuck to the mocktails. We tried all three on the menu, and the Blueberry Mule (ginger beer based) was the undisputed winner. We'll have to come back for the cocktails another time since they looked promising! We capped the night with the Apple Blossom pastry with vanilla ice cream--it is a total "must-try." Overall, the service was courteous, the ambiance was spot-on, and parking was a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

Such potential! Went for lunch. Didn't have a cocktail but saw several made. They looked good…read more Service wasn't very good. Not sure why, it wasn't busy. I had soup and salad. The soup of the day was fantastic. A sausage, potato and kale soup. Warm, comforting and delicious! The salad was somewhat disappointing. I ordered the quinoa kale salad, with a citrus vinaigrette. There was a little quinoa and kale on top of a large amount of romaine. Not what I expected. It was also served stuffed into a small, tall sided bowl with the dressing on the side. How exactly are you supposed to dress it and eat it? My friend had the burger and fries. The burger was half the size of the bun. She literally removed 50% of the bun. It was also extremely well done. The fries were cold. They don't have decaf coffee, but I was able to order mint tea. It was brought in a cup that smelled like old coffee. The table had been cleared and I had no napkin and he didn't bring one with the tea. There was a slice of lemon I didn't want and I had no place to put it. There is potential here, I hope they pay more attention to providing a quality experience and food.

We love that they use fresh ingredients and the food is prepared with care. We were wowed by the stunning dessert display in which you can eat here or take home. The hand cut fries were perfection. The hand dipped hot dog (corn dog) was exceptional. The desserts - key lime cheesecake and coconut cream pie were phenomenal!

The restaurant has a pastry case which looks really good. They menu says $ 11 and $ 70 for a full cheesecake. When I told the waitress I wanted the raspberry cheesecake cobbler, she informed me it was $ 24 dollars and I said for the small round one in the case she stated yes, I said the menu states $ 11. She said that's for a slice and they did not have any available. I said of just that flavor or all of them she said all of them and she stated yes, seems advertising is a little miss leading. The bathrooms are not ADA accessible and if your a large person the bathrooms will not be suitable for large size people. The water glasses are very heavy so not very good for people who have arthritis in hands and fingers. Will I return again? No there was no Wow factor.

The 80s called... they want their arcade back (and maybe their joysticks too)!…read more We first spotted Crave 80s Arcade Bar while staying overnight at the hotel that shares its parking lot. At the time, we couldn't check it out because we had our dogs with us. The name came up again at the Marysville Strawberry Festival, and when a friend was in town, we decided to give it a try after dinner. While I was born in the 80s, I wasn't exactly hanging out in arcades back then, so this was a bit of a nostalgic first. When you walk in, the walls are lined with pinball machines. There are a few other games scattered around, but pinball is definitely the star here. At the bar, I asked if there was more to the place, and the bartender pointed us to a "living room" behind the bar where you can sit and play Atari or the original Nintendo. The menus came in trapper keepers, complete with the satisfying Velcro sound, which was a fun touch. The guys jumped on the Atari first, but the joysticks didn't seem to work quite right. They moved on to the Nintendo, which was actually a Raspberry Pi loaded with multiple games. After a short stint there, we headed back out to the pinball area. I'm no pinball expert, but we happened to be there during a tournament, and the boys got schooled by some regulars, which made the experience a bit more fun. I also enjoyed the glass case filled with 80s miniatures and artifacts, and the vending machine stocked with nostalgic items like games, books, and snacks you'd expect from that era. Overall, it was a cool concept but felt a bit underwhelming. It's worth checking out once if you're in the area, but it's not a place we'll likely revisit.

The atmosphere is fantasy-themed and incense-y, the service is prompt and helpful. Bar menu and specials are surprisingly unfocused and un-intriguing in such a creative place, but the taps are ok. Missing star for ill-kept restrooms. A solid three star place, but the engaged and upbeat service and local music give them that fourth star and my glad recommendation. If you've had enough of trucker hat uptight tighty-whitey Arlington for one day, relax here, enjoy a bite and bevvy, and take in some local music and cool vibes.

I love the high ceilings and stage, it's a very comfortable experience for eating, games, or music. The cards were in a room in the back and weren't a main thing for the venue. The only downside of my exlerience there was the other patrons there for the tournement, never have I seen a more wretched hive of scum and villiany. If you're going there for games the rampant poor sportsmanship was unreal amd pervasive. No one I encountered could either win or lose graciously, and they want your money.

Their Greek salad has this oil and vinegar dressing topped with tzatziki and a shave of feta. It's so good! I love that it is flavorful without being heavy or cloying. All with a gorgeous presentation, yay! And the Caprese flatbread is perfect! FYI: their balsamic reduction is to die for! Customer Service? Wait for it...FANTASTIC! Especially in today's world where you can't get help, much less decent ones who care, they found them. Katy is a perfect example. She smiles, she knows the menu. She is helpful without being intrusive, nice! The atmosphere is also a plus. This isn't some cookie-cutter place. Each Kafe Neo is specific to that community-I love that!

Happy hour is offered daily from 4pm-7pm. Inside, one will find a full menu, full bar, pool table, darts and pull tabs. Upstairs seating offers booths and tables that can be pulled together to accommodate larger groups. The food menu is the same as JR Phinickey's, burgers, dogs, flatbreads, etc. While deciding on what to eat, my wife and I slurped on a Mac & Jack and Bodhi for $6 each. We shared the Peanut Butter Bacon Cheeseburger for $17: peanut butter sauce, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickles. We opted for a side salad for an additional $1.50 in place of fries. We both enjoyed this fun burger version. Service was friendly and efficient. The Monkey Bar does well at maintain the same feel as Phinickey's.

The place was packed (understandably so!), and while there are three floors, it seemed like only the lower two were in use. Still, there was plenty of seating and room to roam. The bar has a definite dive bar charm, with a lively, local vibe. There were games like pool, skee-ball, and others that added to the laid-back, casual energy. The staff was fantastic--super friendly and upbeat, even with the festival rush. They went all in on the strawberry theme with cute decorations hanging from the ceiling and drinks served in plastic strawberry-shaped cups. A really fun touch! As for food, I took a chance on the "calamari"--which turned out to be a cleverly disguised sliced hot dog shaped like an octopus. Unexpected? Yes. Oddly delicious? Also yes. Definitely not your standard bar food, but it totally worked in a novelty kind of way. If you're looking for a relaxed, playful spot with strong hometown energy--especially during a festival--Monkey Bar delivers.
