Life Cafe
Reviews
I've been a member here for a few years now, dealing with a work & sports injuries. And overall t.rying to be healthier. First off, the LifeCafe is great. I always get a lions share of my daily eating when I'm there. The food is tasty and they understand fundamental nutrition. That and the kids center is probably the two reasons why I along with my family are still members. However, the kids center is decked out. They are understaffed and I don't believe the kids get the attention parents think they are...a bit LordOfTheFly-ish. But if your kids can fend for themselves, they'll be fine. The management only cares about signing up new members and do not take care of raised issues. They will only pay attention to members if they can get you to sign up to extra crap. If you do, you no longer hold any cards. The main thing that drives me insane is the lack of a deep-end in any of their 3 pools. Kids take swim classes, which I'm happy with for the most part, but they cannot learn to thread water because they keep touching the bottom. 3 pools all shallow! WTF?! 2.5 stars. If it wasn't for the lifecafe or kids area. I'd be long gone.
Expensive, but tasty!
Waiting in line to order,the young fellow taking orders flirting w/a costumer,oblivious to my presence.
I have been a member since 2007. The service quality has gone down. Towels are like sand papers. Gees how old are they? Disgusting foam in jacuzzi. How often do they dump the water? There is a difference between cost-cutting and becoming cheap.
I terminated my membership after multiple problems with the child care staff. They were too young, too inexperienced and understaffed. The last straw for me was when I found my 3 year old in the bathroom with an 11 year old unsupervised. NBC 5 here in Chicago did a Target 5 report on the situation.
