    We were here for a company event. In the past Monday, my company had an mingle event with clients here. The event was held at the backend of the Rec Room. A great area for clients and staff walked around, some tables for us to put drinks or food. There were appetizers that before dinner. But the appetizers were having the holder that required my two hands and drink to be put on the table. Open bar tonight. After a few talks with clients, we had food come out. Chicken wings, mini burgers, and salad. Pretty standard finger food. We went for the arcade games after food time. The games were great and big stations. The most attractive one was the claw machine that having Mario's and a flower pots claw machine. They require a wristband that contains credits to play. Each time about 16 credits. I got 1 Mario and 1 DK. The flower pot was my friend got it for me. Here was a good place to mingle with clients. We knew each other in a relaxing atmosphere.

    Second visit to use all my leftover credit from the last visit for the game. Wanted to sit at the patio for some food first but we were told that we had to make a reservation. However if you go to Opentable, there is no options to book patio table. Sat at the bar top instead and ordered 12 pcs of sharable wings($25, Breaded, Smokey Chipotle BBQ flavour) Food was served fast enough and it was surprisingly good. 18oz of Ace Hill was only $8. I could just come in for beer before/after Jays game.

    Good place to grab a bite across from the aquarium. There a very nice size bar with plenty of TVs to watch sports, an arcade, tons of games, plenty of seating. Great place to enjoy some time with the famiiy.

    The Rec Room is conveniently located across Ripley's and CN Tower. After visiting these attractions we were hungry and went across the street for some food here. Was surprised it's quite kid friendly with lots of arcade games but we skipped all that and went to get seats for food. There's pizza, pasta, burgers, your usual American stuff. Tbh food and service was ok. We had a burger with fries and definitely needed some more ketchup but never got that extra ketchup. Didn't get the chance to check out the games but this place can definitely be fun for the family and friends.

    If you like, going to places like adventure, Landing, and Chuck E. Cheese, then you will like this place. It has plenty of games to play and win tickets, but only this place you don't get paper tickets, you get a bracelet when you first come in and you buy credits on a machine. There is a little rewards card/Points card that you wear on a bracelet the whole time you're there and you let the games scan your bracelet each time so it knows who you are how many credits you have how much money is on your bracelet and you use that the whole time you're there. So your card on your bracelet has all the information like how many points or how many tickets you have earned and then at the end you go over to the section where all the prizes are pick out what prize you want take it over to the register, they scan your bracelet to make sure you have enough points for the item you picked and then they scan the item and then you're set. It's a much neater cleaner, less pain in the butt way of doing things. They also have a bar there and a restaurant inside the same building/the same room. It is very convenient to have everything in one. I went over to the bar to sit down relax and just have a diet Pepsi and the bartender was so nice. She gave me a free popcorn and that was delicious and very sweet of her. This place is fun for anybody of any age, male or female. If ever you're in Toronto and you are regularly there, you should hit up the rec room.

    We made reservations ahead of time so we'd have a place to getting some snacks after the Taylor Swift concert. We were seated quickly but it took at least 15 minutes before anyone came by to take our order. I had asked another easier waking by and he had a poor attitude. He said "you are not my table but will get out waiter", which he either didn't or our waiter actually took his time. It took forever to get a glass of water and while we saw other tables get bag(s) of popcorn while they waited for their food, we got nothing. The food was generic and mediocre at best. For a kitchen full of chefs, nachos and poutine should not haven't taken as long as it did. For an event night, you'd think the wait staff would provide their A game and to get some good tips from happy patrons. Very disappointed. Would not recommend. *there are lots of arcade games on site

    Food was good. My kid's meal was not good though. It was good. Service was friendly. Ambiance was good. Good vibe.

    I came here with a friend a few weeks back when I was trying to score some last minute TS tickets but without luck I thought about going to the DanceParty that the Rec Room was hosting. It was packed with kids, teens, and adults at the arcade, watching sports, and dining in. It's a one stop shop for all ages. I came without reservations and they said it was going to be about 30 mins wait and they texted us once the table was ready. My friend and I were seated upstairs. We each ordered a main and a Taylor inspired drink. Food and drinks were okay, nothing special but nothing worth mentioning. We split the bill and apparently they only allowed to put the Scene Points on one card if you split, which was the only downside. It's really loud in there but it's a nice place to relax and have fun

    This place is just like any arcade room except added are bars & drinks... it's good for families - parents can chill and have a drink while the kids play. However it is expensive - they do have credit bundle packages they offer. But games don't last long. You earn credits electronically on your card. With that you are able to choose any free items ( ranges from cheesy dollar store kind of things to stuffy's ) the more you spend $$$ on arcades, the more you'll get a free stuffy ! Speaking of parents having a drink, by the bar as my hubby & son sat to eat - I ordered my drink from the bartender (he had glasses on with dark shoulder length hair). Everyone's drink was served, even the guys after us came got their drink. He admitted to forgetting my drink THREE times. Trust me I wasn't rude. I was very nice & smiling. Not sure if he was delaying time to see if there was anything left on tap for me, he ended up serving me in a can. Ambiance is nice ... lots of ppl tho will bump into eachother.... You just need at least 200$ for the night here

    Steak frites 8oz

    Food 2/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 3/5 I have downgraded my updated review. We came here on a Saturday afternoon to attend the Smash Wrestling show. We had lunch before the show & the food wasn't as good as it used to be. I ordered the 8 oz steak frites & hubby had the hamburger. When I got the steak it looked more like 6oz than 8oz. The fries were also overcooked. Hubby had asked for his fries to be extra crispy but I hadn't wanted extra crispy. I didn't eat a lot of my fries & gave them to hubby instead. I was still hungry after the small steak so I ordered a calamari appetizer. The calamari appetizer turned out to be a pretty large portion. With some deep fried beans & sweet bell peppers besides the calamari. Their desserts all had dairy in it so I couldn't eat any of them. We ended up getting donuts with chocolate sauce from The Shed. They weren't good either. I was so disappointed. The donuts were still quite oily & didn't have much flavour. The chocolate sauce was pretty flat tasting. Our waiter Cyrus was nice & his service was fine. I think they might have had him serving a lot of people as I saw him going to & fro quite a bit. It was really busy that day as there were at least 4 large group parties going on. When we complained about my overdone french fries he apologized & when we got the bill they didn't charge us for the coffee. Would have been nice if they gave us a bigger discount than that. After lunch we went to the bathrooms at the back near the curtained area where smash wrestling was going to be held. The ladies bathroom was smelly & not clean. Hubby says the men's bathroom was clean but the floor was grimy. The other set of bathrooms near the Shed & gaming area were cleaner. I actually saw a bathroom attendant in there checking how clean it was & asking for someone to get more soap. Well, I wish they had done that for the bathrooms at the back. Hubby says the men's bathroom near the gaming area was cleaner & nicer. I would come back to play games here but I don't think I will eat the food again. I would avoid using the bathroom at the back of the restaurant. It was as bad as a TTC public bathroom.

    Gord and I had supper last evening with our pal, Trish, at The Rec Room. It was a really busy spot! Trish had an Impossible Burger (Delicious Impossible patty made from plants, onions, pickles, lettuce, toasted potato bun), Gord had a Grilled Chicken Club (Grilled chicken breast, bacon, lettuce, mayo, ciabatta). I had chicken wings with Buffalo sauce. All were good.

    Alcohol free drinks. AKA mocktails.

    Went on a Monday night around 11PM after a Blue Jays win. Got chipotle wings, a pretzel, and the Sonic Groove mocktail. Wings were good, the chipotle wasn't prominent or hot. The pretzel with the ranch was really good. But I don't know what was going on with the "cheese". I think it was a honey mustard sauce. (It did not taste like cheese.) But the best thing by far was the Sonic Groove mocktail. Excellent service at the bar. Fun atmosphere if you like sports and video games.

    Had a really great corporate event today where we were split up into two teams and competed against each other in numerous games like air hockey, basketball, and a reaction time game. The MC / Facilitator was hilarious and made us welcome! We head a section to ourselves to order lunch and the chicken tacos were very bland. I recommend getting the spicy chicken sandwiches instead.

    Dropped by with a few friends, and it's a 'modern' arcade with much newer games. Game options were decent, and food was okay

I love skee-ball, so that was one thing, but the video-arcade version of beer pong was not something I was expecting. The pinball games ranging from the old school cog version, to the 80s version where computers started to get involved, to the modern ones made just this year showcased a real range. What was incredibly exciting was being able to play a number of Mario Kart arcade game races, that I see for three or four dollars a race at other arcades. Couple that with the incredible food options (Deep fried mac and cheese wedges, deep fried mars bars, deep fried... everything!) and at prices that have you snacking and grazing through the whole thing. It's a great place for kids, too. The only thing is kids need to be out by 8pm. But, there's a lot to do before then.

None of the mechanisms work and the staff don't pay attention to manually start them either. So basically you'll solve a problem and wait around and wonder for 20 mins why nothings moving even if you got it right from the start. Then you have to ask for a clue (which they won't give, it'll just be a condescending phrase that tells you to do what you've already been doing.) then after fighting with them for five min they'll realize it's their fault and manually start it, wasting not just our time but our money. 30 dollars a person is just ridiculous for what this is. If you want more fun lock yourself in a dark closet for 30 min and try to get out, you'll probably feel more satisfied anyways. I will say that we did ignore all of the red flags 1. The bad reviews online 2. The two groups that came out super pissed off before us fighting for refunds cause nothing worked for them 3. How the place looked So kinda on us but... Did this for group bonding and I will say we did bond pretty well over how terrible this was and how much we got scammed, so maybe if you want team bonding then this works for you idk? Definitely tests your teams patience....

So many rooms to go through that it made the experience well worth it. My only criticism would be the staff. We didn't escape the room and only had one section left to get through. When the staff came in telling us we were out of time, the normal procedure would be to walk us through what we had left. Instead, the guy said he was unable to finish a walk through because the next group had arrived. It seemed that he was unwilling to walk us through the remaining aspects because if he did, then he'd have to reset all the puzzles... I've been to quite a few escape room locations and never has this happened before, even if the next group had arrived.. Overall the Osaka High room was pretty cool, but I only wish I knew how it ended.....
