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.

Overall it was nothing like Liv. I wanted a more live music kind of vibe but the food wasn’t great unfortunately. The charcuterie board was ok. A silver fish crawled out from the wood board it was served on the waitress didn’t seem to mind that. The server didn’t really check on us when we got our mains and my husband instantly regretted his Rueben. After sending it back maybe ten minutes later, they just redressed it with the same meat that was now cold and it still wasn’t good so we just left shared bites of my okay Cesar salad and not so great chicken Parmesan sandwich. The live music was great and such a nice vibe. The atmosphere was everything I wanted but after attending Liv the night before, it was truly not the best experience.

Thank you Chey for taking the time to review our Play Bar & Grill Restaurant on OpenTable. It is disappointing to hear you were not satisfied with your meal and the service you received. I have forwarded your comments regarding the charcuterie board and the Reuben to our Outlets Manager and Executive Chef for their review. It has been brought to my attention we tried to make things right the night you dined with us by removing the charge for the Reuben. If this is not the case, 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. I look forward to the opportunity of speaking with you. Kindest regards, Catherine Mitchell Food & Beverage Administrator

Thank you David for taking the time to rate our Play Bar & Grill Restaurant on OpenTable. We are pleased that you would recommend us to others, however, it is disappointing to learn you did not enjoy the Butternut Squash Ravioli. I trust we were able to make things right for you when you dined with us. In the event this is not the case, 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. I look forward to the opportunity of speaking with you.
