| - This is the best steakhouse I've been to in Toronto so far (I haven't tried Jacob's yet though). The first thing I noticed about this restaurant was the blue lights/theme which reminded me of a cruise or something to do with the sea. It gave off a very adult/romantic vibe. I arrived here around 9:30pm on Thursday and the restaurant wasn't too packed. However, there was a group of people which were very rowdy and singing off-pitched the whole night (which was kind of annoying). The service was excellent, all the waiters were friendly yet professional, as expected. They were very knowledgeable with the menu and different types of wagyu, as well as the selection of knives and its make and weight. The bread they served as appetizer came with 3 different spreads, which one of them was some sort of pesto I believe and it was good. Shoutout to Steve for helping us set up the prettiest dessert platter ever and picking out a very delicious red wine!
Because I've tried quite a few different things here, I'll just list the price and rating per item:
Chappellet "Mountain Cuvée", Napa Valley, 2013 ($165) - Steve picked out this medium-bodied red wine for us. It had a rich aroma and smooth flavour of dark berries. It paired extremely well with our dinner - 5/5
Raspberry Mojito ($18.50) - can definitely taste the alcohol, which I like - 4/5
Raw Oysters - very fresh and silky - 5/5
Lobster Gnocchi ($39) - rich and creamy sauce, big chunks of perfectly cooked lobster, best gnocchi I've ever had - 5/5
Dry Aged Prime USDA/NE/Black Angus Bone-in Ribeye 24oz ($120) - Not sure how long it was dry aged for but could only taste a slight hint of it. Was a little tough/overcooked - 3/5
A5 Kobe Black Tajima, Hyogo, Japan Striploin 8oz ($420) - hands down my FAVOURITE piece of steak I've ever had in my entire life. It was absolutely delicious. It was so buttery it melts in my mouth - 5/5
A5 Kobe Black Tajima, Hyogo, Japan Tenderloin 6oz ($315) - extremely soft and tender - 5/5
A5 Black Tajima, Kagoshima, Japan Striploin 6oz ($148) - very flavourful - 5/5
A5 Black Tajima, Hokkaido, Japan Striploin 6oz ($148) - so smooth and buttery - 5/5
Sautéed Rapini with Garlic, Anchovy, and Chill ($14) - I usually like rapini but this was just okay.. much preferred the one at guu/kinka Izakaya - 2/5
Truffle Mac & Cheese Gratin ($16) - truffle everything. I'm in love - 5/5

Chocolate Tart ($14) - I don't like chocolate but holyyyyyyyy this was so good. Especially the tangy passionfruit filling which cut right through the sweetness of the chocolate and everything else I ate that night - 4/5
