Playground - Santa Ana

The flavors of the menu were bold and beautiful. The drink menu was well thought out when pairing with the entrees.

We came here on the last night before rebranding, and it was great! The wagyu steak was delicious, and the Brussels unique and sweet. Service was great, and the meal went nicely with my glass of Pinot noir. We also got the sticky toffee pudding for dessert upon recommendation, which was rich and tasty to top off the meal.

When I found out Detention was closing,I rushed to make an reservation. So glad I got to try before they closed their doors. First impression upon walking in is beautiful ambiance. Decoration is beyond just the right amount of chic. Things tried: triple cooked steak fries: yum! Perfectly crunchy and that aioli had the right amount of kick. Hokkaido milk bread and butter: the perfect start to dinner. Bread was good in its own and even better with the creamy butter. Peruvian bay scallop crudo: the sauces and garlic crisps paired perfectly with the scallop. Another winner dish pei mussels and merguez: yummy in my yummy! That sauce is incredible and perfect to dip bread in. breakfast in Texas y'all: it was an interesting dish. Home made tortilla to wrap the soft boiled egg, salsa and pork belly. Made for a yummy eat. sticky toffee pudding: wow! Delicious. It's sweet, but a nice way to end a meal. All in all such an amazing meal! I wish I would have tried it sooner.

Amazing! Service was fast and everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend the Hokkaido milk bread butter, oyster mushroom toast, brussel sprouts, and salad. The toffee pudding is a must have as well. Unfortunately they are closing end of this month and reopening as a members only establishment, otherwise I'd be back next week.

I was given a gift card to this restaurant but I am unable to use it because I am not a member. It seems like I am not allowed to eat here unless I am a member. I don't plan on returning if they open to the general public. This whole situation seems pretty disappointing to me.
