Smith Bros. Steakhouse Tavern - Toronto, Ontario

We had a birthday reservation and were greeted immediately at the door. The gentleman led us to a very spacious both for four in the centre of the restaurant. There was a beautiful chandelier and we could see right into the open concept kitchen. Everything was very ... eye appealing. Our server came and took our drink and appetizer orders. We sat very comfortably at the table as we were served freshly baked bread, whipped butter, our wine and appetizers (mussels and spinach and artichoke fondue with chips). The mussels were served in a beer based white sauce that was very tasty. You could really taste the beer, quite different than your average mussels. The spinach and artichoke fondue was mixed tableside and the chips were freshly made. The portion was very generous. Next our party ordered the complete prime rib, rib-eye and N.Y. Sirloin. The prime rib was served a perfect medium rare, juicy and flavorful. The rib-eye was thick, juicy and very soft. The N.Y. was the perfect texture. Let me tell you, their house salad was the best house salad I have ever had (not your typical head lettuce, tomato, carrot, cucumber mix). It had bacon, mixed greens, radicchio and egg with a dijon dressing. A very large portion, I might add. We did encounter one issue where our rib-eye was over cooked. The manager immediately came over and offered to have a new once cooked to our liking. We did feel bad to send our meal back but the manager insisted with a smile. After our meals, the birthday girl was presented with a candle-lit brownie cake which was the perfect amount for us to share. When the bill came, we noticed that they had taken $20 off our bill. What a nice surprise. We were overall very pleased with the quality of food, service and ambiance. We will definitely visit again. Thank you for a lovely dinner. Read more

Food was superb, steaks were done to order with perfect char. However the service could be much improved. There was long wait at the front even when we had reservation. Later on our waiter had to be reminded of bringing is bread, water and steak knives as the meal went ... on. Not as professional as the previous times we had been here Read more

Good pricing and portion sizes. You do get what you paid for so don't expect the same steak quality from a fancy steakhouse. Comfortable seating and friendly service. They also have various prix fixe and weekday specials. Would recommend for a more casual steakhouse dining experience. Also, their cheesecake is ... way too soft, my preference is more traditional firmer cheesecake. Their smoothie is very good and worth the price! Read more

Good value for portion (ordered 3-course menu), decent taste food, good service and ambience. We were a large party, it was very well accommodated. But overall, large selection of menu. It’s a great place for a group party. Special recommendation on the dark chocolate pudding for dessert.

Terrible serving service, terrible food. When we entered the establishment, we were greated by a lovely hostess, which we followed to our table. Our server was also quite polite, she quickly brought us water and took out orders, and returned with our app and our daughters chickens fingers. We ordered mussels ... for our appetizers which was warm when it arrived, but quickly went cold as the bottom of the dish was not hot at all. My daughter chicken fingers were dry and very small pieces, which we were told was breaded and made in house, there was bearly any chicken in 2 out of 5 little pieces which was $10.00 My husband had ribs and I had what they called fancy steak. My husband's ribs were ok and my steak was mediocre, nothing special to elaborate on. Written by: My lovely wife Sarah. Read more
