| - This is easy - 5 stars all the way. What a fantastic dinner experience. Best steak in Toronto - END of STORY. Add good friends and you have the perfect evening.
Why 5 stars you ask? The highlights:
- impeccable service the minute you walk through the door. Amazing greeting, good conversation, they take your coats and quickly escort to your table. Multiple servers were fantastic, they knew what I needed before I did!
- Kudos for a cool beer menu and bonus points for having Beau's Lugtread.... a perfect pairing for my steak. So good I had a few.
- Amazing bread starter, tasted like Yorkshire Pudding, off to a great start.
- Started with the Caesar salad made fresh at the table to your liking - stupid good!
- Kick ass steak selection with prices for every budget ranging from $40 - $1,025 per steak. You can get Wagyu from Australia, U.S. or Japan and / or multiple steak cuts aged for 30, 40 or 70 days. The eager servers walk you through the steak menu and are happy to answer questions or make recommendations. I had the 70 day aged sirloin cut which was cooked a perfect medium rare. The aging really enhanced the flavour of the steak.
- The provide complimentary salts and sauce / dips for your steak if you would like to add. I say nay nay to this!
- Order your side dishes from a list of about 10 options. I recommend getting a few to share. My table ordered the Potato Gratin which was so $^($@ good, I can't describe it. So rich and heavenly. Duck fat fries were also a nice addition as well. This was a guys night out so we skipped veggies.
- Deserts looked really good but there was no way I could eat another bite.
- They have the steaks aging in clear glass fridge in the middle of the restaurant. As I walked over to look at the display, the manager came over and explained the process and how aging enhances the flavour.
The only negative I could come up with is the price... but it's worth every last penny.
If your like me and love a good steak dinner, RUN like the wind to Jacobs.
