    What a wonderful experience we had with South Play! We wanted to host our son's 1st birthday party somewhere both kids and adults could enjoy, and South Play was the perfect spot. Their indoor play area kept the kids occupied for hours, and their ability to rent out the patio for all of the tables/chairs/food for adults was wonderfully accommodating. We selected the VIP package and we truly felt VIP! Lili and her team took care of everything - setting up the entry room beautifully on theme, ordering food for all adults and children, having cupcakes ready for the kids, among others! The staff was extremely helpful, taking care of putting away/storing all gifts, getting cake cutting ready, and cleaning up quickly at the end of the event. South Play's list of vendors was perfect - everyone we chose from there was professional, accessible, and worked seamlessly with Lili and the team. I truly felt I came into that morning with no stress and I spent the rest of the event enjoying myself and our guests. We highly recommend South Play for all future children's events - it was a blast!

    Celebrated my son's 6th birthday at South Play. The 60+ guests had a blast! The set up and personalized touches were perfect. We also rented the courtyard and had plenty of indoor/outdoor space for the kids and parents to mingle. Kelsie and team were amazing! Throughout the party they would continuously check in and provide an updates. As a busy working mom we literally did everything via phone, text or email. They answered every question I had or needed. We did the VIP party package and they took care of everything. Literally we just walked in and brought a cake for my son (optional because they coordinate personalized cupcakes for the kids!) Highly recommend if you are looking for a full service party location with a variety of activity for the kids. So easy. Thank you to the entire South Play team!

    Extra small touches by the staff to personalize your party.

    I've hosted at least 3 parties here(dating back to when it was the Coop). South Play is such an amazing place to host a birthday party. The staff are always friendly and so helpful. It's clean, safe and lots of fun for kids of all ages. I have a 2, 8 and 12 year old and they all had a blast. I 10000% recommend South Play to any parent that is looking for an easy, stress free birthday party venue. Kelsie even went out of her way to try to make my daughter's party extra special (I told her that I was very low maintenance on decorating but she still offered a gorgeous sequin table cloth and the use of their adorable cake stand). I cannot rave about this indoor playground enough.

    We recently hosted my son's birthday party here and had such a great experience! Kelsie and her entire team are wonderful to work with, including the vendors on their vendor list! Amazing value for having the space entirely private for your party, and plenty for all age groups of kiddos! We'll be back again soon.

    Compared to surrounding competitors, this place, for the most part, is very clean. Staff is nice. She even gave a lunch recommendation nearby after we finished playing. This is geared towards younger kids, and mine are a bit older. They still had fun though. I would say probably babies though kids aged 7 or 8 would be ideal (my eldest is 10). Ball pit & play structure were super fun. Bounce house is a high end heavy duty bounce house. Doll house is adorable. Kids loved the bouncy horses & little cars in which they could scoot around. Our main turn off was the dodgeball game which we could not easily figure out how to play. Also the light up "dance floor like" surface on which we were to play was filthy and in desperate need of being wiped down/sanitized. I told my children to remove themselves from it immediately once we determined how dirty it was. Apart from that one issue, this place is fine. A fun place to spend an hour or two playing.

    I celebrated my daughter's birthday here and everything was absolutely great. The staff made everything run smoothly, and the best part of all is that the kiddos and parents had a great time! I highly recommend celebrating your child's birthday here, or coming here for your child to play.

    We had my daughter's 5th birthday party here and it was absolutely perfect! Kelsie made everything stress-free and was always helpful and responsive. She answered all my questions and made my daughter's vision come to life. The space is perfect since there's a separate play area but also an open courtyard outside in the front you can use. We used that area for a magician and a taco stand and everyone raved about how awesome the party and space was. The lighting inside was also perfect for pictures, and parking was a breeze. Highly highly recommend South Play for any parties and Kelsie for your party planning needs!

    Such a fun experience! My grandkids just immersed themselves in happiness for 3 hours. The staff were so helpful and thoughtful I'll be bringing my grandkids back for more!

    We had our daughter's first birthday party at South Play and it was PERFECT. The owners made planning process easy breezy. Open communication from the start. They were available what seemed like 24/7 to answer any silly questions I had. I chose "The Gala" with a custom ballerina theme. I had a vision and they executed beyond expectations! I now know what stress free party planning feels like. Day of party comes around and there was a bomb threat near South Play. Perimeter blocked. Need an all clear for party to start. WHAT??!! Owners called every 30 minutes to update us. They were so accommodating and gave us all the options to make it right. We decided to wait it out. Got the all clear 2 hours after original start time. Great!! We got in there, they extended our time, everyone had a great time. Definitely one for the books. BOMB. PARTY. Just book your next party here. They aren't limited to kids party either. Seems like if you can think of it, they can make it happen. THANK YOU again South Play!! We'll be back soon!

    See all

The only issue we ran into was with the guests that had special food requests (gluten free, allergies, etc.)---there was a slight mix-up and some of them didn't get their food until much much later on in the night. The food though, was great overall! People kept talking about the chicken and the salmon. I remember the guests commenting on how delicious the food was. I remember that my husband and my sister (she went to the food tasting, since I couldn't make it from Northern California), said that they weren't too impressed during the tasting, but they really blew it out of the water for the day of! Kathy: Kathy is so sweet, friendly, and professional--very extroverted! She made sure that all the details were taken care of and the night went rather smoothly. We were a bit scared because I was checking the weather and it read: sunny, sunny, sunny, sunny, BLUSTERY, sunny, sunny. That blustery day? Wedding day. Ugh, right? But fear not, Kathy made sure it all worked out, and we were still able to do the ceremony outside! DJ Lance: GREAT guy. Super sweet, friendly, and he played such great songs. We gave him a list of songs we'd like, and he rolled with the punches and went for it. He also led our guests in a jeopardy game about my husband and me, in order to dismiss the tables for the buffet food. He projected a powerpoint of us as a couple, growing up, in our respective towns. The guests absolutely LOVED him, as did we. We are quite happy that we chose RBH. After about 10 in-person interviews of other locations, we do not regret our decision.

I didn't even finish reading the menu when I saw the blackened scallop with mushroom risotto dish. The scallops were tender and well seasoned.

So yeah, big bummer. The drinks were ok. Our waitress was super forgetful and seemed like she was scared of the world. She was writing stuff down and still forgot stuff and we had to ask multiple times.

Once we sat down for dinner, we ordered a few things. The bluefin tostadas are a must if you're into seafood. We also had the scallops delicious doesn't even do them justice, just wish there was more than one . My hubby ordered the lamb, which was probably our least favorite since it was a bit dry. The rigatoni though? Unbelievably good. Honestly, I'd come back and order the exact same items minus the lamb lol. Shoutout to Griffin for keeping us going all night . And the buttermilk bread? So good I almost cried. Parking is pretty easy, but definitely come early on a nice day. There are a couple of metered lots nearby with up to 5-hour parking.
