So the one positive thing to say is that the food was edible. However, it ends there. The service was nearly non-existent to the point that we couldn’t even mention that the food was awful.

All 3 of us which consisted of 2 adults and 1 toddler f... read more

I called yesterday regarding a food allergy before I went for dinner last night, and the lady I spoke to was SUPER helpful! My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner last night and the food was top notch as always! Love Nama and can't wait to go back soon!

Beware if you got your ID picture taken at the kiosk in Thompson Bowling Arena. They won't serve you.
