This is probably the most difficult restaurant to rate ever. Anyways, here goes.
The premise is that you basically get to dine in a castle. How cool is that? Definitely something I always wanted to experience so I made a reservation (3 week wait to find a suitable date for me). I've been to Casa Loma before but it was SO cool to approach it knowing I'm going to have a dinner there.
The staff was absolutely top notch. Doors were opened and we were greeted and someone was checking on us all the time in case we needed something. The decor inside is stunning and you absolutely feel super fancy dining here. If you want to impress someone this is the perfect place.
Was the food good? Yes. Was it good value for the money? Absolutely not. For appetizers we ordered ceviche, french onion soup and polenta squares. Ceviche, while quite tasty, was literally half of a scallop slided into 4 thin slices with 4 mango slices added to it. This half of a scallop cost me $22. Unbelievable!!
French onion soup was not bad, but rather flavorless. Polenta squares were quite good. For main I ordered Centre Cut Striploin cooked medium. It was quite good, but was it $60 good? No. It should be noted that to complete the meal, I had to add peppercorn sauce and mashed potatoes which cost me an extra $19. If you order a steak, you get literally nothing but the steak in the middle of your plate. No veggies, steak sauce etc. Hate to say it but you get the same at The KEG for less than half the price.
On my way out I looked at the bar on the other side of the restaurant and it looked stunning. Will I come back here? Yes - for some lighter meals and the bar for drinks. Dinner with an entree? No.
