Barberian's is a unique experience in dining in Toronto. The place feels about as old and stale as anywhere in the city, but if you want a trip back to the 70s its not a bad bet. The service is pretty good, if anything a little too in your face. The menu, like the decor is about as classic as it gets and likely hasn't changed in 20 years.
The steak was decent, but nothing compared to Jacob and probably equivalent to the Keg, but pricier. The accompaniments where the most disappointing part. The green of the day, broccoli, was a very poor excuse for a side. Baked potato was edible, but sub par.
I wouldn't go back myself, but if you get the right things and like the throwback theme, you may be able to justify the cost of Barberian's.
