I had an underwhelming dinner here last Saturday.
I selected Hy's because I haven't had steak in a while and I'd never been to this Toronto classic. I don't think I'll be back.
The space is very nice, though the lighting is almost too dim. The service was excellent. The food was just ok.
We had:
Caesar salad - 3/5 this is prepared table side, and is not as tasty as I would have liked. This is not a creamy caesar, but a caesar vinaigrette made with a base of anchovy paste, some tobasco and Worcester, an egg and some red wine vinegar. The server who prepared it was lovely, the salad was a bit on the fishy side for my taste.
Filet mignon for 2 with vegetables (prepared table side) - 3/5. I felt the steak was bland. I liked the vegetables. But if you're not into eating healthy, you won't. I think they were steamed.
Creamed spinach - 5/5 this was perfection!
We didn't have desert.
I had a drink in the lounge and it was lovely. Large comfortable chairs, great lounge singer.
All in all I had a very nice time at Hy's, but when i factor in the food and the prices, I can not give this more than 3 stars.
