What do you get when Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari and Chuck E Cheese, decides to marry Technology and Eateries. You get uWink, a bistro without waiters. 
Touch screens replace them. The food still gets delivered by humans. What in restaurant parlance is called a food runner.
They must have known that most people like me associate Chuck E Cheese with high noise level so they are quick to reassure us on that point. uWink will be lively without cacophony.
Their ‘pilot’ location opened in October of 2006 at the Westfield Promenade in Woodland Hills (California).
You can browse the internet from your seat, play video games with guests at other tables or preview movie trailers.
One of the rooms can accommodate larger groups for quiz shows and even business presentations.
The menu goes from finger foods to salads, sandwiches and also regular main dishes.
I noticed a few interesting items such as a southwestern caesar, a Vietnamese shrimp salad, a barbecue tofu sandwich, a purple haze pizza (Jimi Hendrix is everywhere these days) and a Korean Skirt Steak.
How they all taste, I cannot tell since I only read about it.
If you already visited the place let me know.
The wine selection if limited is decent and fairly priced.
Interesting concept, one thing I suggest they do though is improve the sluggish ‘performance’ of their website.
In January, they hosted a party for the new season of ’24’.
I scooped uWink on Springwise.
Also on restaurants: Dancing on tables in Restaurants plus Cyrus versus French Laundry and Noise Annoys, loud restaurants
i,d like to know the locations for a uwink in new jersey.
