Feel nostalgia for the old-school video games you used to play when you were a kid at Joystix Classic Games & Pinball. In the age of the home console, this arcade is a throwback to a time when you not only played your favorite games, but did it in public while impressing your friends.

Show you’ve still got what it takes to overthrow Donkey Kong or rack up the highest score on the Star Trek Pro pinball machine. Hundreds of games line the walls of this house of fun, giving you an opportunity to play your favorite upright, sit down, and counter-top video games that you haven’t seen in years. Foosball, air hockey, and ping pong are also available for the analog fans, along with a jukebox and photo booth to add memories to the evening.

An elegant ambiance, expertly attentive service, and a sumptuous menu of flavorful fare are the hallmarks of Masraff’s. Seating options include the bar with an elevated fireplace, the patio, or in the chic dining room.

Settle in with a glass of wine from Masraff's expansive inventory, then whet your appetite with the ahi tuna tartar, garlic seared calamari, or the chilled colossal crab. Move on to the main event with pan seared diver scallops with carrot ginger bisque, coffee rubbed filet mignon with wild mushroom risotto, or pan roasted chicken breast with au gratin potatoes. Save a spot for the warm triple berry bread pudding with cream cheese mousse.
