About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
One of our founding pillars at White Oaks is our belief in living a healthy, well balanced life. Through every facet of our business at White Oaks Resort & Spa we endeavour to improve human performance whether it involves your body, mind, or even your business and career. At PLAY Bar & Grill we had the opportunity to provide some classic dishes with a twist of healthy. You’ll see whole grains and whole wheat options as well as new ingredients that enhance old favourites and change them to healthier options. Our Play menu complements your efforts in the gym or on the court all in an urban environment that is interesting and family friendly. While we are serious about healthy living, and providing a healthy menu we’ve had fun putting PLAY together and we do realize that no matter what we put on the menu, there will be some that will still want their “fun food” and heaven forbid, white bread! We encourage you to make Play a regular dining spot.

    Service was excellent, food was very good, and despite there being a few empty tables in our sector ( overlooking the tennis courts ) the noise level was over the top. If I were to book again, I'd ask for a different sector of the restaurant.

    Thank you Kathleen for taking the time to rate our Play Bar & Grill Restaurant on OpenTable. We are pleased that you would recommend us to others, and we are thrilled you enjoyed both your meal and found your service to be excellent. I have forwarded your comments along to our Outlets Manager so he is aware of the noise level you experienced while you dined with us. It is not the typical experience we are used to providing and I truly appreciate you letting us know so we can look into this to prevent this from happening to our other guests who dine with us. We look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you back at a later date! Kindest regards, Catherine Mitchell Food & Beverage Administrator

    We usually have a wonderful experience dining here and therefore we even went out of our way to eat here for dinner. However our experience this evening did not meet our expectations. We always look forward to the complimentary chips and dip, but they were way over seasoned this time. I ordered the white oaks flatbread and it was gross. The crust was bland and the combination of garlic, mushrooms, arugula and feta sounded good at first, but the execution definitely did not work out. I should have sent it back but I’m not one to complain. Our waitress was just okay, a smile would have gone a long way. My daughter had chicken fingers, which were 100% better than my meal.

It is disheartening to hear you did not have a wonderful experience with us this time when you dined with us. I have forwarded your comments along to our Executive Chef and to our Restaurant Manager for their review. I truly appreciate you letting us know about your meal and about your server. I would be more than happy to discuss your dining experience in greater detail with you. I can be reached Monday through Friday between 9:30am and 4:30pm at 1-800-263-5766 ext. 5742.

    The service and the food were both amazing. Food came hot and fast. Delicious! Our server was very kind and checked on us quite a few times to make sure we didn't need anything. She was also very accommodating with some small requests that we had. Very pleasant experience!

    We always enjoy our visit to Play. Food is always great and reasonably priced. The fresh homemade chips and chipotle dip they serve you when you first sit down is our favourite.
