Michael’s On Simcoe - Toronto, Ontario

Enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Michael's this week. Booking our reservation was quick and simple and parking was easily accessible from behind the restaurant. We dined on a Wednesday evening, so it was a nice and quiet evening. Our waiter was a complete gentleman and took his time to ... explain the items on the menu in great detail. Dinner began with some complimentary servings of bread with 3 different spreads, followed shortly by a tasty amuse-bouche. Dining at Michael's is meant to be an experience, so we decided to go with the A5 Miyazaki wagyu in addition to the striploin. Our sides included a corn dish along with some garlic mashed potatoes. Ordering the wagyu means that you get to choose from a set of special knives to cut your steak with. The knife is made out of VG10 steel with Japanese inscriptions and has a handle made from the wood of an endangered tree from Hawaii. Didn't change the way the steak tasted, but whatever. The restaurant kindly provided us with a complimentary plate of cookies and berries as an anniversary gift. One word of caution... the A/C blows pretty intensely out of the vents and caused our food to go cold pretty quickly. This might vary depending on where you're seated, so you may want to ask the staff to seat you somewhere that isn't in the direct path of the A/C. Read more

That was a really good fine dining restaurant for a business dinner! The place was cozy and comfortable to talk and enjoy the food. The stuff was friendly, very attentive, and not intrusive. I really enjoyed the meals here, everything was fresh, and the dishes were pretty served. Appetizers were interesting, especially the parmesan-spinach ... paste for spreading on bread. 1. Burrata salad is must try here, it was refreshing! I liked the balance of saltiness, sweet and sourness. The cheese was very soft and fresh, I liked the chanterelle mushrooms and very tasty mix of tomatoes! Absolutely beautiful that you can see the photos before and after :) 2. Artishok salad with ruccola was cool, I never tried artishoks before, very interesting taste, and we ate it all! It was a revelation for me. 3. It is a steakhouse, so I ordered the n.y. striploin, that was outstanding! This is definitely a best steakhouse in Toronto! 4. I'm a not big fan of sweets, but to be honest the chocolate-caramel cake was good. To summarize, I'd definitely come here again! Good place for business/private meetings. Read more

This place was amazing. Highly recommend.. Staff were over the top. Drinks were one of a kind and food was out of this world. Tried a5 wagu steak for the first time. And let me tell u. Worth every penny. Definitely will be revisiting. When ever I'm back in Toronto.

Absolutely astonishing.. From start to finish.. Booking the reservation & modifying it without any hassle or issues.. Simply catering to my needs.. Friendly greetings from the second we arrived.. Followed by the ambience and polite knowledgeable waiters on their menu and even more so specifically on their steaks and the ... in depth history of them..! The food and drinks exquisite they even went out of they're way to give complimentary appetizers.. Honestly not a single blemish in this establishment. If I could give 6* I would.. They really made my birthday a blessed experience there and even exiting the exceptional customer service didn't end..! An absolute 100% recommendation for anyone reading this.. The best steak I've ever had and the lobster bisque is to die for! Thank you!!! Read more

REALLY good food and REALLY good service! Would highly highly recommend. Every single item we had tasted amazing. The cheesecake looked and tasted different from normal cheesecake, but it was still fantastic. The service was also superb; they cleaned our table between courses and someone was always present to fill ... our waters. I honestly don’t have anything bad to say about this place. Read more
