I had read so many reviews appraising this place so had to go check it out. Very good attentive service, very miamian to me in a way (I lived 3 years in south beach frequenting the restaurant scene before finally coming down to yucatan / central america more or less permanently). Food is great, service is great, just that personal... more

Once again, I ate at John Grey's and loved it. I had the rack of lamb and my girlfriend had the duck. Being from Canada and craving non-Mexican food for a change, John Grey'd rivals all good restaurants I have been to . the waitress was very friendly and courteous. John Grey was there that night and came over and... more

Yum! Absolutely scrumptious food. This restaurant would thrive in San Francisco or LA. It completely outclasses everything we've been to in the Yucatan. This isn't a regional restaurant it is a culinary experience and completely unexpected for Mexico. One of the best steaks I have ever had in my life. The only time I've ever had a steak that can... more

John Gray's place was by far the best restaurant we ate at in Playa, and was one of the best meals I've ever had, anywhere. The steak tartare is highly recommended as an appetizer, which fits in nicely with the dark ambiance that's reminiscent of an old New York steakhouse. My only complaint is that there isn't one here in... more

The food was fabulous...and that alone is enough to HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to any who travel to Playa. Unfortunately, though, we sat outside and felt that the service and ambience was only average. My steak was perfectly cooked, tasted incredible, and best of all, left my stomach feeling fabulous afterwards. The same cannot be said about 3/4ths of the... more

We were just recentlly in Playa and attended The Den which is owned and operated by the same staff as John Gray's Place to watch the Vancouver Canucks wrap up their series with the St Louis Blues. The other sports bars around town were packed with Canucks fans and we couldn't obtain a seat so we eyed up this nicely... more

MY fiancee and I went here after he proposed on the beach. It was very wonderful. Had vino, appetizer, dinner and dessert. I even stumped the hostess when I asked her in English if we could sit somewhere secluded. Some random guy, ( manager maybe) not john gray (saw him) asked me what I had said. I told him I... more

The food we had was exceptional...as culinarians we are very hard to impress but this simple yet fine menu was tasty and enjoyable...The wine list is well done..hard to find in Playa..we cant wait to go back....While the service staff are dressed very well their skills are average..they need to learn to attend to the meal and wine service throughout... more
