| - You've done it again Yelp. You've guided me to a restaurant in my very own backyard and blew my mind. I must've passed Peter's hundreds of times and never gave it a second look. Though modest from the front, it is truly a unique experience inside. The first thing you smell when you step into this fine establishment is, surprisingly, pina colada. It's a bit of a disconnect from the traditional wood decor and old-fashioned loveliness a couple more steps inwards. As you check in your coat (which I've never had in a restaurant before), you begin to smell that distinct sizzling aroma of a juicy steak.
The wait staff are friendly, professional and absolutely deserving of full points. As young adults with a face that could still be in school, I was worried we might be judged at a place where the median age is around my parents' age. It was so nice to be proven wrong. Our servers were courteous and hospitable, with great recommendations on the wine. We didn't have to wait long for food, our waters were always filled, and we felt taken care of all night. If you order any of the table-side dishes, they are all expertly prepared and the training that these servers went through clearly show.
It also doesn't hurt that our food was amazing from start to finish:
1) Warm garlic bread, pickles, and olives start the meal. I had to be very careful not to fill up on the bread, but it was very tempting.
2) My boyfriend and I ordered the Oysters Rockefeller. The oysters were very fresh with a generous helping of savoury spinach and Hollandaise. ($21)
3) The steaks....I am so glad I don't have to travel downtown to get great steak! I ordered the 16oz. regular cut prime rib ($39) and I finished everything. I have a hard time finishing a regular 8oz. steak sometimes so you have to understand this really meant something. It was a perfect medium rare that cut like butter. My boyfriend got the 24oz. Porterhouse ($55). He wanted to take the bone in his hands and gnaw at it, but we had to keep up our appearances :)
4) The table-side bananas foster ($24) was fantastic. Our server was very friendly and informative, bringing our attention to all the delicious scents. The end result was caramelized, boozy bananas over vanilla ice cream. Perfect.
At the end of the dinner, they give all the ladies a rose, which was a first for me and definitely a memorable end to a memorable dinner. I think I've found my new special occasions go-to! Peter's is truly one-of-a-kind in Markham and a whole other level above any regular steak franchise. Among a multitude of accolades from Tripadvisor, Urbanspoon, and city organizations, was a small red sticker that read: "People love us on Yelp!". We sure do, Peter's Fine Dining. We sure do.
