| - Peter's is one of the better steakhouses in Markham but it still does not match up to Jacobs & Co in downtown Toronto. The experience is more upscale than the Keg. Some dishes at Peter's stood out, but when it comes down to the steak itself, it was not exceptionally better than the Keg (which is surprising, considering the price difference).
I ordered the:
Caesar Salad Made Tableside ($27 for a serving for 2 people) - DELICIOUS. The dressing packs in a lot of sharp flavours so it isn't ideal for those who like mild foods. They load up on the garlic, anchovies, worcestershire and tobasco sauce - the dressing has a bite to it.
French Onion Soup ($11) - One of the better french onion soups I have had, but not the best. The broth is rich, dark and beefy. There is a generous amount of stretchy, cheese on top but it was mild tasting (I prefer when sharper, bitter cheese is used).
24 oz. Bone In Rib Steak ($59) - This was shared between 2 people and came with a side of mashed potatoes. Considering I ate bread, olives, caesar salad and soup before this arrived, there were leftovers. The steak was very thick and correctly cooked as requested (medium rare). Some portions were really tender but other bites were chewy and hard to work through. Compared to other steakhouses, the seasoning was very light and bland, so the salt shaker came out a few times.
Mashed Potatoes - Average, a little gritty and not creamy. The keg has better mashed potatoes.
