| - This place has really gone downhill since I've last been here. Lots of things got changed, for the worse.
1) It used to be that if you bought food that would cover the play. Now you have to buy food/drinks and pay $5 cover fee. The food isn't cheap! The cheapest thing on the menu is a $5 coke. So the absolute minimum you can pay is $10
2) They no longer have the games on the wall, you have to ask the waitress to bring it to you. Its also a very limited selection (like 15-20 games). My group wanted to play this one game and the waitress had to go and ask another table if they were done with the game. What sort of board game cafe only has one of each game? Their selection was really really disappointing, they didn't even have cards against humanity, catan, risk, clue, etc. We've never heard of most of the games available.
3) They refused to split the bill and refused to help us split up the cash. Also enforced a mandatory 18% tip for groups of 6+ people. This was written in tiny print at the bottom of the menu, and came as a big shock to everyone in my group.
4) Rude wait staff. She kept coming around and asking us to order, refused to help us split the bill or pay separately, brought the food out after ages, and when we tried to get her attention she just looked at us and disappeared behind the bar. The new rules they enforce are extremely strict.
There are definitely better options for board game cafes in Toronto. Roll play cafe doesn't have anything special except perhaps for it's location. Overpriced, poor selection of games, rude waitresses. I wouldn't ever take my friends here.
