During our first two visits, we tried the steak sandwich, the loaded BBQ fries, and the loaded chive and garlic aioli fries. While the flavors were good, we found everything to be too greasy, heavy, and difficult to eat. However, we couldn't resist trying the desserts, so we got the snickers toffee creme and the baileys almond Guinness cake a couple of days later. Both desserts were delicious, albeit very rich and dense. They were stored in a large freezer and could be heated up for you, but we chose to take them back to our hotel room frozen and enjoyed them a few hours later. The service was friendly, but there is no seating available, so you have to stand and wait while your food is prepared, which can be a bit awkward and time-consuming. If you're a fan of this type of food, then Pretend is the place for you, but for those who prefer lighter options, you may want to just stick to the desserts. Overall, our experience in October 2022 was mixed but enjoyable.

The food was outstanding and the staff were incredibly friendly. I had a great time. read more The food was outstanding and the staff were incredibly friendly. I had a great time.
