  • TL;DR - Great alternative for a steak dinner outside the Keg. Same ambiance and atmosphere. Not outstanding service but good food, menu options and great value. --- I was pleasantly surprised by my visit to Smith Brothers a few weekends ago on the Saturday night before Thanksgiving. My friend made reservations at 7pm and I didn't even think that was necessary because there were plenty of tables open. I would say that given the size of the restaurant, you can easily seat more but there's a lot of space between you and the next table and it was only 70% full on a Saturday night. There's plenty of parking like you wouldn't believe (it's also not downtown mind you) and my only gripe is that since it's my first time coming, you honestly CANNOT see the restaurant when you're driving down either Eglinton or Warden (at night) unless you know what to look for. It's in a plaza and the store logos/signs at the front don't list Smith Bros. so you'll have to drive in just to look for it. Service for the most part is decent. Not outstanding (as people mentioned) but not atrocious either. Our waitress forgot a few things and we had to remind her but she was also serving a large party + small tables. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt but she also didn't check-up on us while we were eating either and I really wanted more water. Our order: Tableside Guacamole - We got it not spicy and the girl came back to physically smash the avocados and ingredients together beside us. I felt so bad for her because the avocados weren't that soft and she was clearly very awkward and struggling to stand there for a solid 3-4 mins doing this. We offered to take it away from her and continue mixing ourselves...My other complaint were the chips. I thought they would be baked and they're not - they're fried. AND SO SALTY! I actually just put the guac on my bread instead. Prime Rib Platter - My friend got the prime rib meal and it comes with a huge assortment of stuff. Very large portions and definitely took a lot of that home. We got it rare and it came rare. What else could you ask for? I also love yorkshire pudding so double win! Caesar Salad w/ Sirlion - I got a salad because I'm a pansy when it comes to eating a lot. The sirloin was 7oz and I couldn't even finish it. The salad was typical... but fresh lettuce and croutons. The sirloin wasn't as good as the prime rib but still came out tender and rare. Overall, our bill came out to $63 before tax and tip for 2 people. For a steakhouse, I think that's a decent price (close to the Keg) and we were stuffed - couldn't even get dessert. Plus we had leftovers. I would definitely come back and perhaps get the all-you-can-eat mussels which everyone says is worth it. I would also try their other steaks or apps since they're reasonable priced. The atmosphere is cozy and family-like and great as an alternative for "affordable" steak dinners. Considering that it's not overly crowded either, I would make another trip here purposefully.
