Dave and busters new dish !!!!

So, I recently popped into Dave & Buster's, eager to try out their latest menu addition. You know how it is, checking out what's new and exciting! I opted for what they called a 'new dish,' which turned out to be a pasta creation, beautifully presented on a light blue plate. From what I saw, it was a creamy white sauce pasta, generously topped with melted cheese, a vibrant red sauce, and some fresh diced red and yellow cherry tomatoes. What really caught my eye was the breaded item right on top – I immediately thought, 'Are those their famous mozzarella sticks integrated into a pasta dish?' It was an interesting concept, to say the least, and visually, it was quite appealing with grated cheese and herbs as a garnish. My first impression? Well, the taste was... okay. The combination of the creamy white sauce and the tangy red sauce was unique, and the melted cheese added a nice richness. However, I found myself wishing for more depth in flavor. And honestly, the portion size was a bit of a letdown. For a place like Dave & Buster's, where you often expect hearty, generous servings, this felt a little sparse. I definitely thought, 'I could have had bigger portions!' It's tough when you're looking for a satisfying meal after some intense arcade gaming, and it doesn't quite hit the mark. Speaking of mozzarella sticks, they're usually a go-to appetizer for me at D&B. Their classic mozzarella sticks are typically crispy, cheesy, and served with a great marinara. As part of this pasta dish, the 'breaded item' seemed to lose some of that signature crispness, becoming a bit softer from the sauces. If you're a big fan of their traditional mozzarella sticks, you might prefer ordering them separately to get the full crispy experience. I'm always on the hunt for the best mozzarella sticks out there, and while these weren't bad in the pasta, they weren't the star they usually are. Dave & Buster's does offer a variety of food, and their menu often evolves. When I visit, I usually lean towards their appetizers or classic American fare. Sometimes, their pasta dishes can be a hit or miss, and this new one, for me, leaned towards the 'okay' side. It makes me wonder if other pasta options on their menu offer better value or a more robust flavor profile. If you're planning a trip, whether it's to the Denver location or any other, it's always good to check out recent reviews or even ask your server for recommendations, especially if you're keen on seeing 'photos' of real dishes before you order. Overall, while I appreciate Dave & Buster's trying new things with their menu, this new pasta dish with the integrated mozzarella sticks didn't quite blow me away. It was an experience, but maybe not one I'd rush back for, especially if I'm super hungry. My advice? If you're curious, give it a try, but perhaps manage your expectations on portion size and overall wow-factor. And don't forget to check out their classic appetizers – those rarely disappoint! What are your favorite dishes at Dave & Buster's? I'd love to hear some recommendations for next time!
