   First time there, and won’t be returning. For that price point there are many more options for a $700 meal for two. They didn’t have mushrooms (at a steak house on a Friday night???) so had to get an alternative. I got the porterhouse, plate was cold and sucked the heat right out of the steak, server was attentive but the experience wasn’t seamless, coats weren’t taken before we got to table led to an awkward pause and stand around. Go to Barbarian’s…..

   Absolute ridiculous behaviour from the server. Was there for a business dinner. Food was good but the server was absolutely embarrassing. He wasn’t happy with the tip so he actually came back and started charging “so my service was bad? it must have been bad that you gave me only 5%” First of all the man needs to learn some math. $30 on $320 bill is not 5%. And secondly who does that? He served just 2 people for about an hour. Was average at best in hospitality so $30 was more than fair. But he made sure to come back and make me give him more! So eventually I gave him $50 because I wanted him out of my face but DEFINITELY NOT COMING BACK and neither will anyone from my company. Been to Jacobs and many better steakhouses but never imagined any restaurant would hire such jokers to serve. Train your people. Teach them basic etiquettes. Asking for feedback on service is good but charging a customer and asking for more money is absolute crass.

   First time visit to this Toronto Landmark. The atmosphere was casual and not all stuffy or pretentious. Attentive Service by Chris. Steak which is why you go there was delicious and cooked to perfection. Peppercorn sauce worth the $6. Fries were a little disappointing. I am having trouble describing other than heavy and chewy???? Stick with baked potato. French onion soup delicious. Garlic cheese bread a perfect starter. Extensive wine list. Service was so fast my steak came out before my friend and I had finished our appetizers. Would have preferred better timing. Maybe we were talking too much. lol Great location if going to a game at Scotiabank Arena like we were. Only a 10 Minute walk. Either outside down York St or underground using PATH. Recommend reservations so not disappointed. Green P parking lot entrance beside their front door off York St. $25 event parking cost.

   A fantastic meal and incredible service. Thank you Jamie for sharing your passion and knowledge of wine, as well as treating us to a viewing of the wine cellar.

   This is my favourite “Toronto steakhouse “. The steaks are well prepared and presented. The sides are a lesson for anyone who likes to cook and the wine list is well thought out. Bardi’s never disappoints.

   Jamie is the best waiter in Toronto by far! Don’t even need a menu he anticipates our every need!

   Great food - great service - amazing place to hold a business dinner and not have to yell over people to be heard.

    Bardi's used to be a very good steakhouse. The waiter did not know what Rare Plus or what Chicago Rare was and said the chef wouldn't do it. I asked to see the Chef and he said unlikely he would bother. Another Waiter heard this and said, the Chef knows, not to worry. The first waiter grunted and farted and walked away. During dinner twice we heard staff swearing at each other and my guest s wife asked that they refrain from doing this in front of customers, Food quality had changed from very good on my many prior experiences, to just average at best. I don't plan to go back
