Playground

Love this lively bar. Great ambiance...dark with selective lighting, good mixed crowd, awesome craft drinks (love the mother superior and French...something from their menu), live jazz nights every first Tuesday of every month. Hard to find a table but not impossible.

Fantastic staff. Very good food. Dinging one star for the crab fritters in which the crab meat had "turned". Cook/chef should have caught that one. Don't let that turn you off to the place though. Everything else was fantastic.

Love this place, been coming here for many years - since the beginning, really. I kind of dig the elite atmosphere and abhor picky eaters. The place has become quite the jam as of late so getting in is a bit tricky, but sometimes if you just show up and ask nicely they'll squeeze you in somewhere.

Usually always fun beers on tap and always amazing dishes - some really adventurous. A true gastro experience for those looking for something fun and different. Plus you are usually seated close to another party so you must be a tad social. Put the phone away and have fun.

Jason really pours his heart and soul into this place and you can tell. I remember eating off of his old food truck many years ago. Good for you - dude.

Playground’s name is very apt - it is a very playful dining experience. Moving from one wonderful small plate to another, you can’t help but have a big smile on your face.

Walking into the dining room, we saw a line of perfectly formed, freshly baked sourdough bread loaves, so of course we started with a few slices with some butter. My colleagues and I ordered a cocktail from their extensive menu, and it was clear the bartender knew their stuff. They also have 10+ taps behind the bar.

Playground’s menu is constantly changing, and the menus are printed daily. We had a tasty steak tartare, curried chicken and some huge pork buns. The fig guacamole with fried chicken skin was served with fresh tortillas. Great service, too.

Worth every penny.

You really can't ever go wrong with this place! Each dish is better than the next and every plate tells its own little story! What a wonderful mix of flavors! I really can't rave enough about the quality of the service here as well! The food comes out right as it's prepared and anyone from the waitstaff is happy to help! This is a must stop place for anyone who enjoys eating! (so everyone)
