We ate there once and do not plan to go again.>>>> I don't get it... that's the whole point of the theme of the restaurant... it's advertised that way.. if you want a quiet meal and don't want to be bothered , why go there... It's like going to sc-fi theater and saying you hate drive-ins...

I wanted to have a fun dinner with some interactive staff, not get ragged at the entire meal!!!

I guess I agree with Mouskateer, you go there knowing that's what they do...

I have a reservation at Mama Melrose but I'm having 2nd thoughts now...

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I prefer the Sci Fi to Mama Melrose, but part of that is the atmosphere... the food is about the same quality.
