Tom Jones is fantastic. Especially with such great company.
The owner (I think he was the owner?) was super friendly and the pianist was great.Tie between Barberian's and Jacob's. Omg they both do a mean Chicago style steak
I haven't been to Barberian yet. Jacob's and Michael's have amazing steaks, although you have to be ready to drop $600+ for a dinner for two. This without even touching g the fine selection of sctoch that they have.
There is a new place that just opened up called Doomies. Plant based big mac.. You'd be surprised how yummy it is for a more casual option. they're on queen i believe //Cheers~
OMG. $600 + wine and or drinks lol I am Dutch not unless we go dutch for dinner I am not paying $600 + for dinner
$200 is plenty including tip and that is in my favourite resto BLU restoranti in yorkville

Not a big meat and taters guy, but my last steak at Jacobs & Co Steakhouse was excellent. I have a Big Green Egg and have discovered sous vide cooking. So I get the juiciest tenderest steaks at home now. I save the restaurant dinning our for stuff I can not make myself.
So many great places to have a great steak in the city. Lots to choose from. No matter my favourite places in Toronto, there are those moments where everything comes together to make it perfect, when you are lucky. I still maintain my best strip loin steak was $14 and in a rough and tumble steak place in butt fuck Kansas right across the street from the stockyard. I was with a buddy and we had been hunting across the state for a certain type of old car to pick up and restore
Great memories. Where are some of your favourite steak dinners outside Toronto, those meals that made the evening perfect with ambiance and companions?

Since I have been doing Sous Vide I have not been out for steak much, but Jacobs & Co. is excellent, House of Chan is good as well.
I've had many different kinds of steaks in my lifetime from Wagyu to Kobe to Argentinian to Alberta AAA but the best steak I ever had was a USDA prime strip I picked up in Bruno's Fine Foods and grilled on my BBQ. The marbling in the steak was exquisite (particularly for a striploin). It cost me about $35 less than half of what I would have paid for in a top end steakhouse.
There's a Bruno's fine foods south of me in Etobicoke. How much was it? Their prices are higher but guess so is there quality?
I was there back when I was skipping high school
my girlfriend and I finished the 2nd bottle of wine for dessert.Ruth's Chris or Mortons downtown.
Although, Morton's completely ruined a steak on me in Las Vegas once.
Best steak I ever have is simply going to a BBQ. Assuming the host has decent BBQing skills, any decent quality grocery store steak with the right marinade will beat any steak house. Shit, I'd put up a Costco steak BBQed by a buddy who's good at BBQing vs. any restaurant. As long as the cut is the same to ensure the quality is similar, I'm confident the 3-4 gus I know who are really good at BBQing would make a steak better than 99% of the steak places out there.
And not only that, they will grill it how you want.... not how the snooty chef in the back wants to make it.
No different than your mom's home cooking.
Mom and dad can sometimes create awful dinners where they scramble to make whatever food is around into a hot dinner, but when they have the time to do it, no restaurant beats a home cooked meal. And amazingly, it's not like they are trained chefs or buy expensive ingredients. They just go to the store and buy whatever is there. And somehow it turns out better than trained chefs using expensive equipment.
And even better than mom's, grandma's home cooking.
There are zero restaurants in the world that would beat my mom's/grandma's home made apple pie. Zero. And they aren't even trained chefs.

I went to Barberian with a friend and wasn't impressed I guess a lot depends on the cut. I've been to a lot of streak houses however I find The Keg has the best consistency. Consistency is the most important
Barberians is so popular because it reminds people of their better days.
I get poo-poo'd for saying this but Ruth's Chris' filet, cut tall, done medium rare is both tender and oh so tasty. Filet is usually not very beefy tasting but their corn fed beef, fired under an 1800 F salamander and served on a sizzling plate of butter. OMG I am going there tonight!
