I'll let you know right off the top that I'm not a big fan of golf. I don't hate it but it simply is not one of my favourite sports. Since the sign said it was also a deli/restaurant, I thought I'd take a look. It isn't much of a restaurant.
This would be a good place to go if you're into the virtual golf because they have many stations set up. They even have leagues. There are comfy leather couches. I sat in sort of a living room looking area visible from the kitchen/bar. They do have a full bar and I did browse the menu and it looks decent. I had a beer and watched a bit of the NFL game playing on a small TV while periodically checking out a couple of guys playing golf.
The visuals on the virtual golf are impressive. They have many different courses/locations to choose from. The absolute most annoying thing ever is the sound of a golf ball thunking against the wall. You can actually hear that sound before you open the door. I have no idea the mechanics of it and how it determines how far you virtually hit the ball. In fact, when I first arrived, a woman was complaining to the staff that a friend hit a ball that "was at least 200 yards" but the machine said it went ten. I didn't hear the result of that issue.
