Only had the burger and some chicken fingers .. burger was one of the best burgers with all that fresh bacon ????????.

Steven Davidson

Some great vegan options on the menu. Such a classy and comfortable place to spend some time.

Food is always delicious. Really nice atmosphere for "pub style" food at a reasonable price. Earlier evening it overlooks the indoor tennis courts and a laid back feel. Once the club is closed, it has a romantic feel. On a Saturday night they had live music that was very good and added a nice touch.

Went here with my bridesmaids and friends for dinner for my bachelorette weekend. Food was amazing - couldn't believe all the vegan and gluten free options! The staff really made the night special with some very thoughtful surprises and the live low-key music during dinner was just perfect!

Michelle Baker

Food was decent, but on the pricier side. Service was a bit slow. Very dark inside.

The manager and staff were wonderful and creative, especially with our food allergies! The portions were generous and the flavours were very satisfying. We look forward to coming back!

Quality food, healthy options in addition to bar food, friendly staff, takeout friendly, lots of free parking at White Oaks, good selection of booze, several choices of Scotch including single malts, close to the highway (QEW & Glendale)…

Food is ok but a bit bland. Service is good, atmosphere is nice and not rushed.

My wife and I weren’t sure if the portions would be very big… sometimes these fancy shmancy places have weirdly small plates. But no… oh no, the lovely waitress wisely talked us down from a full plate of nachos to a half… oy… still couldn’t finish it. We aren’t vegan, but their menu looked so good we had to order the burger (is that allowed?)… it was very yummy, and massive. You win Play Bar! You pay a bit more but it’s worth it.

The food here is amazing. Calamari are awesome, the not so moroccan is tasty and the burger is delicious. The desserts are amazing, I tried the chocolate armageddon, and it was so amazing. Also tried the tart with berries, and that was also very good. The ice cream is creamy. And the biscotti that came with espresso was a treat. Not to mention the service. Andrea was fabulous, you can tell she loves her job, and she really knew how to make us feel welcome.

I went here with my family to dine on Monday August 16 and the food was not the best. I had ordered the chicken supreme with the shrimp and hollandaise sauce with vegetables and potatoes, the potatoes and the vegetables were not to bad but they just needed a little salt, which isn’t a big deal. The chicken was cooked nicely but it was a little to hard on the bottom and it needed some salt which was on the table, but the sauce was very bland and it was broken, but the shrimp was cooked nice. The apple tart was seemed like it was not cooked and it was very soggy, I’m ok with it being cold as long as it was cooked before, but the pastry was white and it wasn’t flaky or crispy at all and it tasted almost raw. The service was nice and the atmosphere was good I just wish the food was better because it was somewhat disappointing.

I was visiting the Niagara Outlet Collection across the street for the day, and didn't want to eat at the terrible food court which never has any seating. I found that there was this spa resort right across the street from the outlet mall and discovered this restaurant. I simply walked over so I didn't have to worry about losing my parking spot at the mall. There were two of us so we just ordered some appetizers to share. They also bring a complimentary bowl of chips at the start of your meal. We were informed of a bruschetta special for the day where it was only $12. However, we were surprised by the massive size of it! If we had known the size, we probably wouldn't have ordered anything else. The bruschetta was very good and filling. We also got the Arancini Balls which I did not like too much, and the Naan with dip which was good. I also ordered the Strawberry Mango Margarita which was very sweet, but good. Overall, this is a good place for lunch if you are visiting the outlet mall across the street and want something better than the food court.

Didn't actually eat here but run by the same people so reviewing here anyway. We wanted to go here, but were immediately seated at the fine dining restaurant by the hostess who was shared by both restaurants. Didn't like not being given an option. Didn't like the assumption on their part. I went for a bite to eat w my sister after shopping at the outlet mall across the street & got seated w a bunch of couples enjoying a romantic dinner while at the spa. Salad was way over dressed. Charcuterie was good. A little table brought over for us to perch our (not) designer purses atop was one of the douchey-est things I've witnessed. I laughed. Décor is dated.

Nice space, good food at an ok price, great service.

Mike Crawford

Amazing place! Found it just by googling and so glad I did. We are not staying at the hotel but for sure next time we will. The food was so good and portions are huge ! Especially the nachos LOL 10/10 on quality and taste. Def will come back !!!

Adelina Wilson

Beautiful restaurant burgers so good. Definitely will return

Shelby Katharina

Please put a sauce on your power bowl.... powerfully dry and lacking without a sauce. Drinks were great.

Many vegan options. It books up quick so make a reservation. Take out option to the hotel room was good, didn't take more than 30 min even when busy

Nick Davies

Put it this way, if i could give this restaurant a 6 star rating i would. We take a 2 hour drive out of our way every 2 week just to go and eat at this restaurant and every time we are out in the area we come eat here, it is simply amazing. i absolutely love the very modern and dimmed theme that this restaurant has. The food is amazing especially the cactus chips that are served as a complimentary snack. The pricing in my opinion is very fair based on the high quality and quantity food you receive, the waitress and waiters are always so lovely and friendly. and the live music is always amazing to have at the end of the week. i Simply just wish there was an option for a 1/4 order of nachos as the half is still amazing but so large of a portion. Nonetheless an amazing experience all round and i highly recommend to come and spend time at this restaurant.

Meeting in the. area and a quick lunch at White Oaks. Great complimentary chips to start before our fish & chips lunch. Very good and will come back when in the area again.

Krystal Mckenney

Exquisite and clean restaurant. Great for lunch and for sitting down with friends for drinks. Healthy and a wide variety of food options to choose from!

Anne Hoffman

Went here for lunch on a weekday. Service was friendly and quick. The mushroom soup was really nice. Main course salad was nice but the vinaigrette dressing lacked any flavour at all… didn’t taste like there was anything in it! Super strange. If I hadn’t doused extra all over my salad (I asked for extra because I initially thought there was no dressing on my salad), I probably would’ve ordered a different dressing, so I couldn’t entirely enjoy my main. I’d maybe try again if in the area.

My husband and I shared the lentil/arugula/grilled chicken salad and an order of fried calamari this evening. Both dishes were tasty and more than sufficient for us. Our waitress, I believe her name is Joanna, was very nice to split the salad into 2 plates for us. Although it was busy, she managed to be attentive to details like replenishing water, and asking us how we liked our food. The staff in general were very pleasant. Play is a very nice lighter fare option.

Todd Fisher

Food is pretty bland but we had great service.

Kendall Hurley

Best Reuben Sandwich in St Catharines! Ordered on Skip The Dishes and it arrived on time, packed with care and still nice and warm. Definitely worth ordering!

Victoria Nelimarkka

Food was amazing. Anne and Christine took care of our party. We had an awesome time
