So I didn’t really get any good pictures here only because I got there when they were closing. I really didn’t get a chance to play the games but I know about the other location that they have down in the noma area of Washington DC. i’ve been to that one before, so they are pretty the same. This one is just newer and a bit larger. The food was delicious and I also ordered a double shot. The bartender was nice and let us know that they were closing soon so she didn’t want to rush us to put a order in, but she wanted to make sure we were able to eat while the kitchen was still open. I definitely recommend that. Can you check this place out doing business hour and 30 minutes before closing lol
A fun night out, but the service could be improved a bit.The Eleanor is a relatively new addition to DTSS, and a welcome departure from the other chain restaurants that make up the development.When we arrived the greeter wasn’t particularly nice but helped us to a table and told us it was unlikely we’d be able to bowl. We sampled some appetizers. The nachos were unexpectedly incredible, even without meat. The beans and sauce made for a delicious treat. The General Tso’s wings were a good idea on paper but the taste was pretty mid. The local on tap beers were generous but pricey. Two apps, two beers and a soda came to $60. I’m not sure how great a value that is. The ambiance was cool for the restaurant concept but the yacht rock playing in the background just doesn’t fit the urban aesthetic of DTSS. Fix this, please.The duckpin bowling was a cool idea but the execution was lacking. The machine jammed multiple times which required someone to come and repair it before we could resume our game. We paid for an hour but only got about 40 mins in. They smartly reduced the bill so we only paid for 30 mins so that helped. We didn’t have time to play any other games.Overall, this was fun. It’s an added dimension to DTSS that’s better suited for mature patrons than Dave & Busters. We’ll likely return for happy hour.
Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids late at night when we went.
Parking: Easy parking in DTSS
Went a few weeks ago for the first time. Had a nice lil time. Definitely a laid back type of place Enjoyed the food and the drinks. It's definitely a vibe with the bowling and arcade. The crew was nice. Will visit again
Excellent service—staff were lovely. I came in not knowing this restaurant is actually also a nice arcade/bowling alley sort of space. The rigatoni allá vodka (edited as I indicated the wrong dish before) was good-flavor on point, but my hungry girl self was disappointed that I didn’t have any left-overs (just plan for that folks, the portions are perfect if you don’t want to take stuff home).It’s a fun, bright, active ambiance - good for groups.Very excited about the Wednesday oyster deals, and I would go back for that!
So much fun! First time doing duck pin bowling or whatever you call it. Atmosphere was great, game was fun, and I'm not too shabby at it! Enjoyed the nachos and the margaritas were a perfect complement. Will be back soon, for sure. Maybe just to eat and drink, but always looking for something fun to do!
I popped in to see what this place was all about. It’s an excellent concept and a good location. There are a few games, a full bar, and decent food options.The problem is that the tables are too close to the neighboring tables. The games are fun but very limited. The food was just ok.This review might have been four stars if there was no Dave & Busters in the area.I recommend going to this place only if you do not want to go through the mall or a crowded place, but be wary if you’re here for the games, be sure to check to see if they are available first—a good alternative for Dave & Buster’s but limited gaming.Most likely will not be back.
We have been " The Eleanor" twice the first experience was excellent. Great food, and service, and the kids loved the duck bowling. This last we had on August 13th was terrible. Are hostess greet us very politely, but once we got to are server Ronaldo everything changed. He was very short with everyone at the table, even though we were the only people at the restaurant to start. We tried other servers and bartenders and they were short with us as well. Food was decent (One person was served very late), and the kids love the environment. But I can't recommend this place again until they fix the server issue. We also attempted to call the manager multiple times but never got a call back.
Absolutely delicious food, plus great customer service from our server (huge shout out to Jessica). We swung by on a Monday night for a quick bite before heading to the Regal movie theaters at Ellsworth. We tried their happy hour menu and all three items we ordered were so, SO tasty. We ordered the general tso chicken wings, nachos, and the hush puppies. Our main entree was a Margherita wood-fired pizza which was amazing — that crust was so good.This was our first time here and we definitely enjoyed the lively atmosphere, there were multiple arcade games as well as multiple lanes of mini bowling. People were having lots of fun and it made us definitely want to go back to check out the games.Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. We also noticed they have brunch on the weekend and that’s probably going to be our next objective. We thoroughly enjoyed the quality of the food and we’re very hopeful that the brunch would also taste great.
I really really enjoyed myself!The service was super fast everyone was tremendously friendly.Bowling was super fun and with smaller scale than your normal bowling alley.It’s a perfect medium place to take the kids, go with friends or a date.All of the staff was attentive and definitely looked like and acted like they were a team.It didn’t matter who greeted anyone first everyone genuinely wanted to make sure you were fine and that you didn’t need anythingThe drinks were amazing! Also Happy Hour amazing.I love the decor as wellThe only reason I put 4 is because of the food.It came out super hot (perfect)But lacked flavor. I heard the pizza is amazing but I got wings and nachos.Thank you for having me and keep up the great work, def will be back to try the pizza.Also very reasonable priced for the drinks, games and food. Compared to seeing all the prices going up everywhere else.
Such a cute place. Sat at the bar with a friend and the bartenders were very nice and helpful. Got mock tails which i loved. Got the spaghetti sandwich which I give 2/5. But the Fries were amazing. My friend got the burger which she loved!! Great atmosphere.

Booked a party for my daughter’s bday. Reserved tables and bowling lanes for about 20 teenagers through their event planner, Limah. She was great to work with! She explained all the options for events and available for questions. Event pricing and choices were reasonable and certainly comparable to other similar venues. In the end we reserved tables and lanes and then kids ordered right off the menu instead of ordering ahead. Wait staff and management were very attentive and gave us flexibility with timing and ordering. Since the kids were mingling and bowling, the tables weren’t used much and more finger foods worked best. Pizzas and hush puppies were the favourites. Very easy to work with and the kids had fun. They also liked the variety of games available. Fun atmosphere, great food and good service. Appreciated the ease of booking, flexibility and choices available for our event.
Rude hostess, I asked if we were able to sit at their outside dining area for our meal. She informed there were no servers waiting on outside tables (despite it being happy hour on a 65° sunny Saturday). I asked if I could order inside at the bar and bring the food outside, or order to-go and eat outside as we had our dog with us and couldn't dine inside. She said to-go orders weren't allowed to eat in the outdoor dining area. Made absolutely no effort to accommodate the situation and take our business, and gave a terrible first impression. She gave us no choice but to take our business elsewhere, so we ended up next door at Dog Haus where the staff were very friendly.
Fantastic food at a good price as long as you go during happy hour. Happy hour deals are great with the oysters being the best deal in my opinion. Oysters and his puppies were great! The wings were good, but not as amazing as the other food. Would not recommend getting a beer there unless it’s discounted since they gave a 10 oz pour for $10 even though it was a weak cider. I recommend coming here from 4-7PM (Happy Hour).
I had a really good experience my first time in , we reserved a lane and table for valentines day. We arrived a little late but they were still able to offer us the full hour for our lane. We started with two slushes that were strong and bitter, if thats your forte then by all means go ahead however we weren't big fans of the taste. We then sat at our table and ordered a plate of nachos which blew us away ! We then ordered the hot wings which was another GREAT choice ! We will definitely be returning, maybe i didn't have the best drinks but everything else was great. From the bowling to the arcade games , it was fun and I highly recommend!
I suggest having the bagel & kir Royale. I wasn't crazy about the potatoes.
