    Steak was ordered medium rare, came charred. Charred, as in black, crispy flakes falling off. Escargots had a sandy texture. Absolutely no seasoning on steak and mashed potatoes. Veggies were ice cold. Asked in advance for a slice of cake, with a candle for a birthday. They brought a scoop of ice cream with a candle, and asked twice if we wanted dessert. Paying this kind of money, expected much better.

    Hi Aris, Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we will take your comments to the kitchen team. As for the birthday, we do not serve cake for free for birthdays; it is a restaurant policy, and we do ice cream instead. Our servers should have mentioned that. Thank you again for your feedback. If there is anything else please email us.

    A lovely dinning experience in this elegant old world steak house. The service was very professional and attentive. Cesar salad for two was delicious and well portioned. Enjoyed the Rockefeller Oysters but be prepared for a very rich taste of cheese/cream. The streaks were a cooked to our liking but if choosing the garlic mashed potato’s to accompany it is a very small position. Overall very pleasant experience.

    Food and atmosphere are great! They have the best Caesar salad in the GTA! Sadly we can’t return as I don’t always want a full steak dinner … and they don’t approve or customers only having salad and a bottle of wine … the delicious Caesar and wonderful wine were all we wanted to enjoy.

    Hi Jenn, thank you for your review and feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the food and wine, but we will investigate further into the comment made as we never want to make any guest feel unwelcome.

    We enjoyed our meal. The steaks were deliciously and cooked as requested. The sides and appetizers were good too. There was very little wait time and we received a dessert to celebrate our wedding anniversary. All in all a very pleasant expression, Thank you.
