Indulged here for my birthday because eating in a century old castle is in the top 5 bougie-est things to do in Toronto.
All the people complaining valet/parking wasn't complementary, I get it but you're already spending a pretty penny on your meal so I don't get how that extra $20 is really gonna make a difference in your pocket... perhaps consider taking an Uber.
5 star service. Our server really knew his stuff and was honest with his recommendations which were appreciated.
Now for the highlights... the foie gras is a must try whether you're a foie gras lover or hater or have never tried it before, get it. I've had foie gras many ways and this is one of my favourites. The flavours were thoughtfully curated and each bite harmonized so delicately.
Lowlights... tuna tartare, just skip it.
Wagyus were good. Japanese, Australian then American in order that order - Porterhouse was tasty. We asked for medium and the center was still red so if you are afraid of red meat ask for a higher cook level.
Sides were good, standard; nothing really exceptional stood out... Maybe the lobster mac.
Cocktail list was short and wine list was basic.
Earl grey crème brûlée was very good. If you haven't tried earl grey in a dessert, you are missing out and here's your chance.
Overall, lovely experience. Have I had better steaks in the city? Def YES. But were they in a castle? NO.
