| - Holy hell, this place is amazing. Worth absolutely every penny. You are treated like royalty the minute you step into the restaurant (taking the name Casa Loma to a whole new level), BlueBlood is definitely a high end steakhouse that will require you to dress up fancy and important like the big ballers.
Coat check, check; friendly, comfortable, and knowledgable waiters and waitresses, check; comfortable seating, ...not check, but hey, with how amazing the night went, I can sacrifice seating for a bit of pleasure in other areas - my palate in this case. The lighting was also a little too dark for my liking, but that's okay (at one point I joked about not being able to see the food I'm eating if it gets any darker than it already was).
I ordered the 12oz filet mignon ($90), medium done, and while I detest anything that's not cooked well done, this one was an experience I wouldn't mind going for again. The steak came with three different salts and my favourite was definitely the maldon smoked salt. The meat was tender and melted on your tongue the second you put it in your mouth. So satisfying, my tastebuds were flying up in cloud 9. I also ordered the tartare on bone marrow ($26) which was honestly what filled me up before I got my steak. For an appetizer it really was a lot to take in, so good!
The scallops ($36) were raved over by the waiters and our neighbours sitting next to us, and my friend said it was pretty good too; I must get that next time! My friend also got the onion soup ($16) which was pretty good by his standards and he doesn't actually like onions much.
For dessert, we shared the baked Alaska which came with an impressive presentation of burning the syrup to pour flaming liquid over the dessert. For a good second or two, the entire baked Alaska was engulfed in blue flames, it was really awesome! The actual dessert wasn't amazing but it was decent nonetheless. I think for the price it came as ($28 for two people), it was more on the presentation that flavour, which was a bit disappointing.
You get a complimentary sea salt dark chocolate at the end of your night! For dark chocolate it was a bit too sweet for my liking, but nothing beats free food, so I'm not complaining.
One thing that confused me was the bathrooms. It's at the end of the grand hall but the ladies and men's share one room that is divided from left (women's) to right (men's). I only say this because for newcomers it can be a little confusing. I thought I walked into the men's washroom because the ladies before me were flustered about not reading signs right. There are also no mirrors in the individual bathroom rooms. There's a giant one outside but it felt kind of weird checking my teeth for ugly things right in the open.
I'm so in love with this place, I've already made a second reservation to come back! Definitely worth the bill.
