This was our second time visiting Play, and we were lucky enough to get the same server, Paul, who was amazing at providing recommendations and insight into the menu options. The food and flavours are to die for, they have a unique way of mixing flavours in each dish! We will definitely be back!

Great food and atmosphere. We came with our grandchildren from Montreal to have a day in Ottawa and dine at Joeys which is their favorite restaurant (ours also). Greacen was our server and she was great and treated the kids like adults. Thank you Joeys
