What People Are Saying About Hollywood & Highland

The Editor

In Short – The creation of entrepreneur Nolan Bushnell of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese fame, uWink calls itself a "social entertainment restaurant." At first glance, the eatery looks much like any other casual-dining emporium: Two large seating areas (one with a full bar), massive flat screens lining the walls, lots of stainless steel and vinyl, and oversized plastic tumblers of soda. Here, the second of uWink's proposed "media bistro" empire, flair comes not in the form of suspender-clad servers but tabletop touchscreens. At each table, a pyramid-shaped computer console allows diners to…

Great for a crowd, not so great food.

by Krezer

Went here because we had a huge group and wanted to watch an event on the screens. This place is good for a big crowd because everyone can do their own tab and there are tons of projectors for watching any events.

The touchscreen ordering is creative but our table wasn't working when I was there. Not a big deal. After we ordered the food was delivered fast. Unfortunately the food was not very good. Obviously rushed and no attention paid to detail. My burger wasn't warm and the bun was not even toasted. Just a thrown together meal.

I would go here just to watch an event and maybe buy an overpriced beer but thats about it. Typical Hollywood tourist trap.

  • Pros: Great for big groups, tons of projectors so great for watching PPV events, everyone can have their own tab
  • Cons: Food was not good at all, typical overpriced hollywood eatery.

Best Birthday Venue

by BlueDiva71

I had a surprise birthday celebration for my fiance over the weekend. He absolutely loved it! The service I got prior to the event & the day of was outstanding.

This is such a great venue for birthdays, the way the allow you to personalize everything is great. Everyone in my group loved, loved the personalized trivia and our pictures flashing on the big screen really made everyone feel special.

Also, I have been to a few theme restuarants and usually the environment is OK & the food...not so good. uWink is fabulous! The ambiance, the music (which I LOVED LOVED LOVED), the service, and the food...everything was amazing.

Thanks! Keep up the great service and the great food.

  • Pros: Great place for the whole family...very kid friendly
  • Cons: Definitely not a place to have a conversation...you are too busy playing games.
