| - I took my sister and our s/o's here to celebrate my sister's purchase of a condo. We were looking for a good place to have steak that wasn't The Keg, and wasn't downtown. Peter's was exactly what we were looking for.
I called in the late afternoon of the same day to secure a reservation last Friday night. They were very accomodating and nice on the phone. We arrived to find a good sized parking lot to the back of the building. We were greeted at the door and led to our table, where the chairs were pulled out for the ladies and drink orders were taken.
Even though they are a fine dining facility, we saw some patrons casually dressed in jeans and shirts, so it was pretty casual in here. No need to dress up super nice.
We were offered some delicious garlic bread, pickles and olives while we went over the menu.
We ordered the Oysters Rockefellar - $19 - to share, there were 6 pieces total and all were big plump fresh juicy oysters that weren't overcooked. Very nice! We enjoyed this a lot.
My sister and I ordered the Regular Cut Prime Rib - $36 - (nothing regular about this, this was a huge piece of tender juicy meat!). My favourite thing about this was it was soaked in the jus rather than having the jus in a tiny little sauce container on the side. Each entree comes with vegetables and a potato (fries, mash or baked).
My bf ordered the Peter's Cut Prime Rib - $44 - this thing was HUGE. It was two inches thick with the bone in. Next time I go, I will order this one so I can have the rest for lunch and dinner the next day lol.
My sister's bf ordered the Porterhouse - $50 - I didn't get to try this but it didn't look that good. And for $50, I guess it would be better next time to stick to what this place is known for and go with the Prime Rib.
We were so stuffed after the mains (we all had leftovers to take home), we didn't have any room for dessert.
I rather liked the decor of the place. It was old school looking but not at all dirty. Being a hardcore hockey fan, the hockey decor in the stairwell leading to the washroom, while a little bit random, was to me enjoyable.
My only problem was the cost of bottled imported beer. One bottle of Heineken ($8.75) cost more than a pint of Moretti ($8.50).
The ladies at the table each got a rose at the end of the meal. Nice surprise :)
I would definitely come back for celebrations or just to satisfy any prime rib cravings I might be having.
