This was my first time visiting for brunch, though I’ve been here before for Happy Hour. My friend ordered the omelet, and I had the breakfast poutine paired with grapefruit mimosas—everything was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was lively, though initially a bit too noisy for our liking. Once the two nearby tables cleared out, it became much more enjoyable. Service was a little slow; our waitress didn’t check in often, so we found ourselves trying to flag her down a few times. Despite the minor hiccups, we had a great time. I definitely recommend this spot for brunch or Happy Hour and will be coming back!

The food was very good and very affordable for the quality. The service was superb and the ambiance was great. The person assisting to our table was attentive to her customers and took time to ensure our experience was positive. We had also limited time while attending to a show at the NAC and she ensured that our food was served on time for us to make our way to the NAC. Would definitely recommend reservations on weekends as it tends to be quite busy.

Our first time experience at Play was delightful. Our server was very personable and knowledgeable. The upstair’s and downstair’s ambience was exceptional. We would definitely go back again.

My go-to place when I catch up with a friend. I love sitting at the bar and sharing the pasta carbonera, the salad, and the chicken or the fish. Also lots of gluten-free options if needed.

We visited for my daughter’s 13th birthday. Food was great and the service was excellent. One of our children has food allergies and they were very accommodating. Noise level is higher than other restaurants we have visited, but to be expected in an open space and we weren’t bothered by it.
