I heard alot about this place...apparently it was rated top steakhouse by toronto.com users...not sure what they were thinking when they voted it...lets go through the list:
Ambiance: Excellent - great date place and very romantic setting
Service: Subpar - for such an expensive place you would think that the service would be better, unfortunately our waiter seemed more interested in doing nothing rather than serving us...we even asked him how the filet mignon was..his response - tender, and he walked away...I can read that it is tender from the menu, but thanks for coming out...
Food: Mediocre at best - Again, for the price I would have assumed that the steak would have been far better than it was...I ordered the New York Striploin and it was overcooked and filled with fat...looked great, but tasted like a disaster!
My date ordered Filet mignon - dry, overcooked and tough to eat...tender? Not really...
The last straw was when I presented the waiter with a $25 gift certificate...it was supposed to be taken off of the bill BEFORE taxes, but our genius waiter took it off AFTER taxes, leaving himself with a nice hefty tip...
Overall: POOR
Would I recommend it? If you want to hang out in a nice restaurant? Sure...if you want to eat something? Definitely not
