Their Sword Fish Truffle Tagliatelle was delicious. The oysters were also very fresh. The tiramisu was amazing. I would love to go back.

This restaurant is absolutely delicious, especially the Sunday Special Menu, which is only $59. One person can order three dishes, which would normally cost over $100 for the same three dishes. The steak and truffle pasta are both amazing, and the side dishes are great too. The atmosphere is also wonderful. I really love this place!

The Playbook Commons is a great spot to come sit at the bar or enjoy for date night. A bit pricey but definitely worth it. I tried out a gin cocktail called the Green Thumb, as well as the arancini & hanger steak. All were very tasty choices.

Bart at the bar was my bartender/server & provided great service, insight, and conversation. Shoutout to him!

Would definitely come back on my next trip to Toronto!

We celebrated our One Year Wedding Anniversary at The Playbook Commons and had the best time! The food and service was beyond anything we ever expected. The team went above and beyond to make sure our anniversary celebration was nothing short of amazing. They really contributed to making our anniversary so special and memorable. Thank you so much again for everything ~ including the surprises we were not expecting but are so grateful for

We found this restaurant to be just about average. We ate here twice while staying in the Hotel X during the IndyCar weekend. We had been told by staff that this was a new restaurant and was fantastic. We definitely had a different experience. The pasta was well cooked, but my husband’s steak was served on a cold plate which made the steak cold within a few minutes. There is no real atmosphere and on both occasions we were happy to just eat our meal and leave. We only went back the second time as the other restaurant in the hotel - Roses Social, was closed. We had an early flight the next day and it was just easier to eat at the hotel.
If you can eat in Roses Social instead it’s a much nicer vibe with great food. There are so many good restaurants in Toronto, you don’t need to waste money in Playbook Commons

Great food , great drinks and even greater staff ! Everyone is so accommodating and attentive. I was also happy to see they had a range of gluten free options :) will definitely be back.

Amazing! The food and the atmosphere here is top notch.

So many great options on the menu, the team here has done a great job!

Great looking space. Cocktails looked and tasted fantastic.

Where do I even begin? Everything was exceptional. I loved the atmosphere. It was fun, sexy, very elevated, but still casual in a sense that made you feel comfortable. The space was really giving me Vegas energy. The service was incredible and the food honestly was a straight 10 out of 10 all around. I absolutely love the pepperoni cups. I was a little bit worried about what it would be like, but we finish the plate within minutes. It was such a good fun little dish. The Italian chop salad was delicious. I’m coming back just for that. The Ribeye was cooked to perfection. The brussels sprouts were amazing. The scallops ceviche and branzino Crudo were so fresh and delicious. Potion sizes were generous. Congratulations Playbook I cannot wait to dine with you guys again.

An unforgettable experience from start to finish!

I had the pleasure of dining at this newly opened gem in Toronto and was truly blown away. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, modern, and beautifully designed — every detail felt intentional and elevated.

The menu is creative and packed with flavour. Every dish we tried was a perfect balance of presentation and taste — you can tell the chefs put heart and innovation into everything. The service was equally impressive — attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food and experience.

It’s rare to find a new spot that hits all the right notes this early on, but this place has done just that. Whether you’re planning a date night, a celebration, or just craving something special, this is the place to be. Toronto has a new culinary star ⭐️

Can’t wait to return!
