Hello, and I would hesistate going to any restaurant with "experience" in
its name.  I go to restaurants to dine, not have an "experience."  I don't
go shopping to have a "shopping experience", etc, etc, etc.  Gen-X
marketing.  
(In all fairness, since the food and/or its preparation is awful at many
theme-based restaurant chains perhaps the "experience" (sans food) is all
that is left.)  Sincerely,
