| - I was drawn to this place because many people compared it to The Keg, which is my favourite steak restaurant due to consistency and reasonable prices. When i checked out Smith Bros.' menu online I couldn't believe the wide price point from $12 burgers to $35 prime rib platter. Awesome.
So I came here with a group of 10, and everyone was pretty satisfied with the meal, for the most part.
We had table-side guacamole, which was tasty, although the chips that came with it were pretty salty. We had a rib-eye, prime rib, bacon wrapped fillet and some burgers. The bacon wrapped fillet came rare, when ordered medium rare, so it was sent back and seared again.
The prime rib and rib-eye were very good, but I prefer the prime rib a bit more because it was more tender.
They also brew their own beer and have a very cheap wine list. You can get a whole bottle of wine here for $25-$35 which is amazing!
The restaurant atmosphere is very casual and pretty loud, it was hard for me to hear the person diagonal from me. The service was good, I found it could have been better, as in, the waitress could have came around more often - there were a few times I was looking around for her and she was no where in sight.
The manager came by a few times to address the under cooked fillet which was nice, and he ensured that the person whom had to wait for the under cooked steak was comfortable and offered a complimentary soup or salad which was nice.
I enjoy the ambiance of the Keg more, because it's not as loud, however at Smith Bros, the great prices will keep me coming back and of course I will update my Yelp review at that time.
