The Board Room

Absolute worst bartender I've ever interacted with. She acted like she had 20 different people hounding her for orders when really it was just me and 2 of my friends waiting at the bar. It's like she's never interacted with another living person before. Absolutely rude and messed up my order. I ordered a Salmon burger and an appetizer, but she only charged me the burger. She then went ahead and charged me for the burger and the appetizer on another transaction, so now I got charged twice for my burger. Why not just charge me for the appetizer only on the second transaction? I should've known better to get food else where after asking her the first time around for beer. I asked her "what do you recommend on tap?" I got an unfriendly response of "Just scan the QR code." Luckily, the guy at the bar was nice enough to give a friendly suggestion, or I would've just left. The people that gather there are great and they create a an awesome atmosphere, but the actual establishment and employees were a shame. Don't recommend this place, and they definitely lost my business for sure. Here is a recommendation to the owner, find some people to man your bar that actually have social skills.

The Board Room is more of a hang out restaurant than a board game cafe. This place seems to be very popular with college students The food is very good and the service was very attentive. There is a large area of dining space indoors and a fair amount of outside dining tables as well. Parking is available at a nearby garage ($10 for >2 hours) but there is street side parking in the neighborhood after 7pm. The board games were very lacking. They have multiple copies of the most popular games (sequence, Monopoly, ticket to ride) but overall the selection was low. It is a $2 charge to play games. While there is ample lighting during the day, the restaurant needs more lighting at night. It's very dark when you are trying to play board games. They have shuffleboard and darts.

Bummer of a visit on St. Patrick's day (early - 4:30 pm). less than 20 folks in the place but plenty of staff. first drink order went 'fairly' quickly, however, ball was dropped after that. we wanted to order food and another beer (we were dry) but they never came back. Instead they all huddled together chatting while one person squeezed orange juice in the machine. Belgian beer was 'ok' but the line wasn't clean enough and the beer was flat. Can't speak about the food as we checked out when someone finally did come back to wait on us.

I like the atmosphere and concept of the Board Room. It is a nice place to hang out and play games with friends after work. However, their food and service is really mediocre. I ordered a burger and the patty was too rare and bloody that I had to ask them to recook it. I saw some comments with the same issue.
