Very nice place. Wait staff was very friendly and polite, though a bit slow. Food was delicious, at least whatever I was able to eat. Appetizers, we had Beef carpaccio and Cigars, very good. For entree, we ordered their Chef special cut, which was a steak and veal with some side dishes and sauces. Everything on that board was amazing, except for the veal, it was just not edible.

For those worried about getting those “gains” at dinner time, look no further. No shortage of animal protein at this restaurant. You can get a piece of meat so large, it puts the Flintstone era to shame! While I tend to lead more of a vegan lifestyle, I decided to venture back into the world of all things meat for this dinner, and had no regrets. Highly recommend this place for all you meat-eaters out there 🥩

Utterly epic in very way. The most incredibly succulent, tender and juicy steak. Fabulous top notch rib eye. Our waiter was so professional and helpful. He attentively listened to my allergies and ensured the food was safe for me to eat. I HIGHLY recommend dining here. Stunning and jovial atmosphere. Best kosher steak I’ve ever had. Also fabulous fries and sides. Thank you!

Good food, slow service, somewhat overpriced. Waited 10 minutes to be seated (no host at the door). Kept having to ask to have our water glasses filled. Food was tasty and well presented. Pulled brisket sandwich arrived with a chunk of the bun missing, as though a mouse had nibbled it. Waiter never offered us mixed drinks or wine, but overall a good experience.

Their page of appetizers enticed; indeed, diners can easily mix-and-match these smaller plates to make a full meal. The pulled brisket tacos ($26) are ideal if you’re in the mood for beef but in smaller portions. Two flour shells were stuffed with chunks of flavourful and tender brisket, pico de gallo, guacamole and pickled onions. Pieces of smoked potato chips, placed on a top, were an excellent addition enhancing the otherwise soft savoury tacos with some crunch. Although the eggplant ($20) sounded like a lighter dish, the roasted eggplant was roasted with so much oil that it became so crispy you’d swear it’s deep fried. Regardless, if you don’t mind the oiliness, the starter has fantastic flavours: the creamy eggplant layered with nutty tahini, crunchy pine nuts, and sweet pomegranate. These were all roasted together so the tahini was warm and the flavours melted into the eggplant. With such a strong start to the meal, the execution of our main, a cote de boeuf ($85), was a letdown. At first glance, the huge 22oz bone-in rib steak looked impressive, with beautiful sear marks and a nicely caramelized surface. It was also a wise decision to share the main, as the actual bone was not overly thick so we were left with a substantial portion of beef. However, upon cutting through the “medium rare” steak, it’d be better classified as a poorly done blue. While the outer ring was seared and cooked through, the centre was very rare, to the point that it was difficult to cut through and I could smell and taste the rareness. Note to Prime: the metallic taste of half-cooked beef is awful and the slightly off smell is even worse.
