Food was not great. Potatoes were cold. Drinks were bad. Very short pour on the wine. Had to send 2 drinks back. Wait for drinks was long. The server, who was very nice, took about 25 minutes to take our order causing us to not make our reservation for the VR attraction. Manager was not very helpful. Scolded me and pointed to a little sign advising patrons to make reservations for attractions 75 minutes after dinner reservations. That’s not on the website by the way. The VR Jumangi was really cool. Get dinner and drinks elsewhere

Service was excellent. They wanted feedback on our entire dining part of the experience. My dish, the spicy chicken wrap was fine. My wife however got a double patty burger with cooked onions. She told them she would of liked to have more vegetables in it (like lettuce and tomato). They came back with entire plate of sliced lettuce and tomatos. The cubed fried salmon bites were also great. The speakeasy Ghostbusters bar, The Ghost Trap, is a sight to behold (sorry 21+ only) for any Ghostbusters fan. From the glowing card catalog furniture, the large stack of books, hanging ghost traps, and a nearly fully functional in-wall ghost container and proton packs are just few of the features here. The arcade is similar to Dave & Buster's but even less games, but try to make up for it with bumper cars area. A separate video game race game area is also there. Oh and a 21+ board game area in the back...no Monopoly or Risk but there are a few party games. $10 for Ghostbuster VR, your choice of standing or motorized chair there. No reservations on that First come first serve. The other attractions cost more but do take reservations. Jumanji escape room and Encharted activities. Gift shop was a pass. How many hoodies does one need? Columbia/Sony movie themed all the way here.

Had reservations for dinner. The appetizers at Wonderverse were delicious. We got fried pickles and mac n cheese balls. My Thai chicken tacos, not that great. And our dining service was terrible. Got seated and it took a long time to be greeted by our waiter. Also took a long time for us to get our bill at the end. My husband had to get up and walk to the hostess and ask her if we could pay up there? Because we haven't gotten a bill and were sitting there for a long time. The games are expensive. They should definitely lower prices. The Ghost Trap was the best part of Wonderverse. It's an amazing speakeasy. Bartenders and people that work there...all they did was talk amongst each other and were probably louder than the guests. Less chatter more working, I would recommend for the employees. With how expensive this place is, guests should be treated top notch.

Visually stunning and very fun for kids. All the experiences are really cool, but expensive. I knew going in I would drop a lot of money for the experience so I was ok with that. The food is insanely overpriced and it’s the worst service I’ve had in a very long time. The waitress tried to constantly upsell us instead of focusing on giving us service that matches the price point. If the food was overpriced, but the experiences were included it would be one thing, but we are paying for the experiences separately so I would expect a lower price point for food and drinks. I would go back only for drinks while my kids play and I would order at the bar to avoid the bad service.

The food was okay, new ways of doing things for sure. But the service was okay. I think for what they charge it would’ve been a bit better. I think they just need to work out kinks.

The ambiance was amazing with the lights, decor, music, bars, and furniture. Interesting drinks and great food. A little expensive, but worth it. Our server, Dominick was fantastic! We made sure to tip him well. My friends and I will definitely return. Just keep in mind that there are strict time limits on the tables, so plan accordingly. It's understandable, since crowds were waiting to be seated. Reservations are recommended.
