| - I was excited for The Rec Room to open up as I fondly remember the whack-a-mole and skee ball days of my childhood. We made dinner reservations and I had "The Bounty" pizza ($16) with roasted wild mushrooms, grilled potato, spinach, ricotta, parmesan sauce, lemon zest, and extra virgin olive oil. It was pretty good, but I'd say to leave out the olive oil drizzle, as the pizza itself was already quite oily. Overall, there was nothing wrong with the food, but I'm not dying to return. Our server was very nice though, and since it was the first few weeks of opening, they had a special offer for the games as well.
They provide you with a bracelet which you load up with tokens, and then you swipe the game card at the machine. A lot of the games were just adaptations of phone games (ex: flappy bird, plants vs zombies, etc) which left me feeling like I didn't have a lot to choose from. I have heard from some friends that have gone a second time, and they have changed some of their games so that there's less time to play (and therefore less points) which is disappointing to hear. I'd say the Rec Room would be a neat place to go if you haven't been before, but not somewhere I could see myself going regularly.
I was also holding a heavy winter jacket that I wanted to drop off in my car outside, but the security made me coat check it? (It was free, but the line was quite long) so I found that a bit weird.
