Dining inside a castle is already an experience on its own, and BlueBlood definitely delivers on atmosphere. Located inside Casa Loma, the space feels grand and dramatic with high ceilings, historic architecture, and curated art pieces. The service was excellent throughout the night. The staff were attentive, friendly, and very accommodating. As for the food, everything was good, but for me it leaned slightly on the forgettable side. Nothing was bad by any means. The steak was juicy, though the outside was a little more charred than I would have preferred. The variety of salts was a nice addition to the steak, helping bring out more character in the meat. The tartare was a-ok, not particularly standout. The two dishes that really worked for me were the potato dish and the octopus, which ended up being the highlights of the meal. Overall, BlueBlood is a place where the setting and service really shine, especially given the unique Casa Loma location. The food is good, but personally I was hoping for something a little more memorable in terms of flavor. read more

Service was really sweet and attentive. Everyone was really nice to my table, especially my toddler which I really really appreciate. The food is where it falls short. The absolute best bite of the night were the cheese biscuits that come for free. The caviar that came on top of the otoro tartare was rank and textureless, so old we pushed it aside. The tuna was good though. We ordered a steak rib eye which was edible. Chewy but had flavor. Broccoli side great, gnocchi was mushy. Cocktails we ordered were pretty good, helped to wash down the good. $450 for two adults and a two year old who nibbled on those cheese biscuits, I'd say this restaurant is a try once and never again sort of place. read more

BlueBlood is what happens when Casa Loma gets a steakhouse--lavish, theatrical, and just a little full of itself. The space is gorgeous: all carved oak, high ceilings, and dramatic modern art mixed into castle elegance. You definitely feel like you're dining in Great Gatsby's private wing. The food delivers. The table-side Caesar was crisp, garlicky, and perfectly dressed, and the steaks (we tried three cuts) were all cooked medium rare with a solid sear. The lobster mac & cheese was rich and cozy, total comfort food. We also enjoyed the prime rib ravioli and grilled octopus--both flavorful and well-executed. The burger was excellent, too. Dessert came with more showmanship: the Baked Alaska was torched right at the table and tasted as good as it looked. The coconut cream pie was a gentler, nostalgic way to end the meal. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. The only miss? They refused to open our wine because we're not part of the "Bovine Wine Club" (yes, that's a real thing). It's amusing, but also a reminder that BlueBlood can take itself a bit too seriously. Overall, a fun, over-the-top dinner with great food, a few eye rolls, and a lot of flair. read more

I visited this restaurant on my birthday and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. I had called and made a reservation three weeks in advance, specifically asking if we would be allowed to access the back area to take photos. I was told over the phone that it wouldn't be a problem. Based on that, my partner and I arrived an hour early on the day of the reservation to take photos. However, when we asked upon arrival, we were abruptly told "no" without any explanation. The staff member's tone was rude and dismissive -- she simply said we couldn't and suggested we take pictures elsewhere, adding that there were plenty of other good spots. When we asked another staff member for clarification, we were told the patio was under construction and the alternate entrance was closed. Eventually, we spoke to a supervisor who kindly checked with the castle staff and arranged for us to go upstairs to take photos instead. He asked the original staff member to escort us, but even then, she continued to make unnecessary, unprofessional remarks -- such as, "Well, we can't control the weather." From the moment she greeted us, her attitude was unwelcoming. She made no attempt to listen or offer any accommodation until directed by her supervisor, and her ongoing tone and remarks were incredibly disrespectful. I was genuinely holding back tears walking upstairs because of how she was speaking down to me. I wanted to leave right then and there but i didn't want to get charged $50 per person for last minute cancellations. We also already paid $20 for parking at this point While the food was good, service and atmosphere are just as important at a restaurant of this caliber -- and this experience completely ruined the occasion for me. We had also dined here for Valentine's Day the year before, and service then was similarly underwhelming. We returned this time because we enjoyed the food and hoped for a better experience. Sadly, this visit confirmed we won't be coming back. There are many other restaurants in Toronto that offer both excellent food and respectful service -- I would not recommend this one. Save your money and please go somewhere else. read more

I took my husband here for dinner and we loved the setting, the atmosphere and the service...the food was great, but I would not say that it blew me away.

We made a reservation for dinner on a Monday and were warmly welcomed by the staff upon arrival. We had to wait a few minutes for our table, and unfortunately, we were seated next to a group of 12 men celebrating a birthday. It was fine at first as we sat by the fireplace, but as they had enough to drink and became very loud and disrupted our meal. I think the hostess could have reserved this section for their group and seated us elsewhere, so both parties could have a better experience. On the bright side, the food was really good. We had the "Prime Steak Tartare in Bone Marrow Canoe" and "BlueBlood Chopped Salad" for appetizers. The steak tartare was fresh and flavorful, but the chopped salad was just okay, nothing special. For the main course, we ordered the "American, Mishima Reserve 6 oz Filet Mignon Wagyu" with "Morel Mushroom Sauce," cooked medium. The Wagyu was incredible--so tender and juicy, it melted in your mouth. For dessert, we had the "Tableside Baked Alaska for Two," and it was a joy to watch it being prepared and served. read more

Service here was impeccable. Majority of the food was delicious. Got a wagyu tasting, other steaks, lamb chops. Starters were kale salad, sushi, prawns. All were amazing. The sides though could use some work. Favorites were the mashed. Tried the fries but the wedges were way too large to be cooked through (really underdone in the midsle and lacked flavor), onion rings as well, and broccolini needed just a tad more cooking time as well. Desserts were amazing too. Loved that this place was inside a castle. Would def come back read more

We always want to try a good steakhouse whenever we travel, so this one was our number 1 choice in Toronto. The location was quite unique, being located in an old historic castle (Casa Loma). There is a large mandatory parking lot due to the no street parking around the area. *Reservations required here* We ordered the wagyu steakburger, 44 oz tomahawk, 12 oz of kobe steak (@ $40 cad per oz), side of creamed corn, and truffle potato gratin. All the food tasted delicious, especially the kobe steak, because it melted in your mouth- sooo good! The dry aged tomahawk was a little overcooked (we requested medium rare) & chewy but still yummy. The creamed corn was probably the best side I've ever had with steak, being extra sweet and very flavorful, truffle potato was good too. The burger was cooked to perfection with a pic of the castle+BB embossed on the bun, duck fat fries were okay. While the food was being prepared, we were able to take a tour of the castle, which was beautiful. The decor revolved around a princess and a prince theme. Food was quite pricey but worth it because we left happy and full. Not to mention, our server, Sergio, was absolutely amazing, making our experience even better! read more

How would you like to have your dessert flambéed table-side? Dishes like the classic Caesar salad and the baked Alaska are finished table-side, giving its patrons the Royal treatment. BlueBlood Steakhouse offers a variety of steak cuts from around the world, including Wagyu from Mishima Reserve (U.S.A.), MB9+ (Australia), and A5 (Japan). The menu also features steak house classics, and seafood towers if you prefer. The Wagyu tasting menu includes all three types of Wagyu. Casa Loma was built in 1914 by Sir Henry Pellatt, a prominent Canadian financier and military officer. The castle was designed by E.J. Lennox, one of the most prominent architects in Toronto at the time. BlueBlood Steakhouse opened its doors in 2017. read more

Beautiful restaurant & ambience. It's always a nice feeling going to Casa Loma. I really enjoyed all the food & win, except for the steak. I found the steak very fatty & not cooked correctly. However, I would still go back as I enjoy the ambience & the other options on the menu. read more

This is the most amazing steakhouse experience. We had such an amazing time during our dining experience . Our server did an amazing job helping us pick our meals and answering questions about the menu. We also worked with the sommelier who did a great job helping us pick a wine that would work with all the meals we ordered. The steakhouse venue is so cool and interesting. Definitely, take a few minutes to at least walk through the first floor. The dining room is really cool too. The woodwork is very detailed and beautiful. My ribeye steak was perfect. The Wagyu steak by the ounce was absolutely perfect. We all enjoyed our cocktails and wine. If you are in Toronto definitely make a reservation and enjoy a very special meal here. read more

The food at this restaurant is very good. The service and general management of this restaurant is abysmal. They have paid self-parking!! You have to ask them to take your coat. The waiter literally read the menu to us? The menu is way too big. I specifically asked if the steaks are the actual description of steak cooking, and was told "yes absolutely". Every steak at the table was undercooked. The staff are obviously minimum wage employees who have no clue what they're doing. read more

The experience of dining here plays a huge factor in my rating. It's a castle, so everything looks and feels like royalty. You're treated like a special guest from the moment you walk in. We had reserved an outdoor pod for some privacy and it's nice, as you're able to enjoy the weather while still being a little more tucked away. For appetizers, we had the steak tartare in bone marrow canoe and it was an interesting dish. It did look pretty cool and I've never had something like it. It tasted pretty good but I probably wouldn't order it again. I also had a caesar salad; I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to get it because their menu says minimum of two people and my boyfriend can't eat caesar salads, but that is just for the tableside caesar. I was surprised by how much I could taste the anchovy flavour in the salad. It tasted fresh, and was a nice twist to your classic caesar salad. I was already getting full at this point so I opted to just order the lobster mac as my main and my boyfriend had the 12oz strip loin. The lobster mac, I had high hopes for - I LOVE mac and cheese so I thought this was sure to be a hit. But it was such a huge let down. It tasted so fishy, the sauce was watery and not cheesy at all, and the taste was just bad. My boyfriend enjoyed his steak, though, so I guess there's that. We had written that it was our anniversary so they kindly gave us two champagne glasses on the house. Our server was really lovely; he gave us a little tour of the castle (the parts that he was allowed to show us) after our meal and gave us some fun history facts. We got to take a look at the garden (there was a separate event happening so couldn't actually walk in) and of course, the iconic view from the terrace. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit for the views and getting to visit the castle. But I wasn't wow'ed by the food. read more

I enjoyed this restaurant inside Casa Loma. I didn't know what to expect but with the name blue blood, I expected to pay a hefty dinner fee. However, I found that there were affordable options for drinks and food on the menu and also higher priced items. Came here after soul in the city, where the food options was limited. You get to enjoy your meal in a magnificently opulent setting, with high ceilings, chandeliers, tufted couches dark wooden walls, plastered ceiling and of course a meal inside the famous casa loma. You can sit by the balcony where there's window doors, they also have clear domes to sit in outside. Washroom is inside casa Loma, so you get to enjoy the main hall of casa Loma too. I was seated by the balcony windows so I can actually hear the soul in the city from the restaurant and walk out the balcony to view the gardens. Staff is very attentive. Parking is $15, valet is $20. I am in love the complimentary cheese bread. It's so tasty. They did bring water which was not ordered but charged for approximately $8.50 for one glass. I didn't even drink it ,I didn't know, so I didn't like that part. They give a cute little chocolate in the end. They added the 20% gratuity already on the bill. I ordered the Canadian ribeye medium for $85. It was great. I could eat the whole thing as the fat was perfectly caramelized. It was delicious. Great seasoning. It came on a skillet, but I think that was for show because my steak was definitely not sizzling and I didn't feel the cast iron skillet was particularly hot. Shots are about $15 and I tried a craft beer which was tasty for $9. Of course all amounts are subject to hst. I would definitely visit again. It's a great vibe. read more

We had an awesome evening at Blueblood. Started with an afternoon tour of the museum, then a casa Loma escape room experience and closed the night with a delicious dinner at Blueblood.

Atmosphere : super friendly staff, very knowledgeable and chatty (our waiter was funny, professional, and attentive) . Venue is one of a kind - restaurant itself is classy and gives an old library / castle feel - you are free to tour the castle's first floor after dinner or as you're waiting for food, as well as the gardens. Makes for some lovely photo opportunities during sunset! We dressed up (and so did many other patrons) so a nice place for a celebration or just a fancy dinner :) Food: 1) Gravlax: was good, loved the fresh dill in this dish to balance out the smoked salmon. It is quite smokey however so wouldn't recommend if that isn't your thing 2) Wagyu Carpaccio: amazing. Loved the bite of the mustard seeds. 3) Porterhouse: probably one of the best cooked steaks I've had - Nicely cooked to medium with a good (but NOT burnt) crust. Super juicy, melts in your mouth, amazing flavors.Was able to share with 1-2 other people. 4) Chilean seabass: love the tenderness and fattiness of the fish. Buttery and yummy :) 5) Creamed Corn: was good, added a nice sweetness to all the savory dishes. One of my all time favorite sides 6) Gorgonzola Gnocchi: my least favorite dish here, probably because I don't LOVE cheese and gorgonzola was a bit strong for me, but gnocchi was good quality and if you love cheesy dishes - this one's for you! read more

Made a reservation for a group of 7. Once we arrived, they informed us it would be $200 per person. We were not informed of this prior to arriving or when making a reservation. We told them we were going to leave but then they suddenly made an exception for our table. Service is extremely slow. We probably waited around 20-30 minutes before they even started to take our orders. There were only two other tables besides ours. All food took long to arrive. Bills took even longer to arrive. We were there for 3+ hours, most of it was waiting time. Food was good but not amazing. I didn't have a steak which I know is their specialty, but I had the wagyu burger. Very large in size, very average in taste. The fries are huge but almost tasteless. Being in Casa Loma, the ambiance and environment is beautiful. Presentation of food and drinks were on point. However I would only recommend going here if you want to splurge on $80+ steaks, $25+ cocktails and $20+ desserts. read more

Eat in a castle and enjoy the great ambiance, food and service! We had our table outside in the patio and between the heated covered area with nice view and comfortable seating. The experience from the hostess, servers and wine person were top notch. All the Covid protocols were followed. Now the food: - the bread was excellent-I actually wanted more but my better half did not allow me to ask :) - appetizers: lobster soup and Foie gras were delicious. The ravioli beef ribs were so-so; the taste was good but the rib portions was on the light side - dessert: good thing we left a bit of room to share the hazelnut chocolate which was out of this world - Side portion-you must have the Mac and Lobster! So no more! - I left the main course review last on purpose since this is the part that prevented a 5 star review and I even toyed with giving a 3.5 star. WHAT???? How is that possible A. Beef Wellington: a bit over cooked and hence the meat was not tender enough B. Both of our steaks were perfectly prepared medium rare BUT the temperature on both of them was room temperature to cold! That was disappointing. We struggled through about a third of the steaks before our server asked us about the food-he offered to bring it back to get it seared to get it to the proper temperature. After we go it back it was perfect! It was too bad we ended up filling ourselves up on the Mac/lobster and taking home the steak. Overall the experience was good but the main course did put a bit of a damper on the evening. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. The service is terrible and even after the evening I will describe, no one called to apologize. Here was our experience: I made a reservation a couple of months ago for my husband and I to have dinner at Blueblood (originally in a pod but it was too hot) for our 30th wedding anniversary. My husband loves steak and I expected to have a really nice evening. It started off well in spite of the heat. We were seated on the patio and our waiver assisted us with drinks and our order. But that was the end of our waiter, after that the service ended. We said we were interested in wine with dinner and the waiter said he would send over the sommelier, but that didn't happen. We waited 20 minutes after we got our food and then I went and flagged someone down who took our wine order and brought wine. Our dinner was fine, but to be honest, I hate any form of onions and advised the waiter of this. I reminded him when he brought the chive butter and asked for an alternative and I also confirmed when I ordered dinner there were no onions in the mushrooms and yet they arrived covered in chives. After we had finished our dinner I thought it would be nice to have an after-dinner drink or coffee and watch the end of the concert, but 30 mins after we finished our dinner there was still no sign of the waiter. We went for a short walk, came back to our table, realized a drink or coffee was not going to happen, went to find someone to pay the bill and left. We were there for almost 3 hours and the service was worse than McDonald's table service. The evening was extremely disappointing especially since it was a special occasion (which the waiter knew as he mentioned it when we first met) and I had gone out of my way to make a reservation for a nice dinner for us for our 30th anniversary. It took a lot of effort for me to do this and to get out of work early as I'm extremely busy and it was overall a very big disappointment. Given that when i followed up with the restaurant i got no apology, it is clear that they don't care. I strongly discourage anyone from going to this restaurant. It was very very expensive and not worth it. read more

I have been wanting to try Bluebloods for awhile but due to the expense I was saving it for a special occasion. Unfortunately that didn't occur before Corona hit Toronto and restaurants were shut down, but I was thrilled to see that it had re-opened for takeout and delivery (something that you would normally not get at a restaurant of this calibre). My boyfriend and I decided to have a date night in and order from Bluebloods. We were happy to see that they had some specials. We ordered the Shortrib Beef Wellington for 2, which came with 2 sides; we choose the Rapini with a Gruyere Sauce and the Goose Fat Potatoes with Thyme. This was only $55! We weren't sure of the portion sizes, so we ordered the Alaskan Crab Fritters to start, and I have a Coconut Cream Pie obsession so I ordered a slice for dessert. With tax, delivery and tip it came to about $110. When we order delivery it can add up, so considering we were ordering from a fine dining restaurant we were pretty happy. The food was packaged well and really warm. The short rib wellington was amazing. It just melted in your mouth. The potatoes had a lot of flavour. The rapini was crisp and the sauce paired so well with it. The fritters were a bit disappointing. The flavour was good with a little spice, but they were a bit dry and tasted like they had been sitting for awhile. The portion sizes were quite nice and we actually have leftovers. Haven't bit into the pie yet, but I cannot wait! read more

Went for a special dinner with friends and spent $1,350 to get food poisoning - all four of us! We weren't sure of the cause but it could have been the raw egg in the table-side Caesar salad. The general manager was responsive when we called but no refund was offered and we were only given an unspecified 'credit' if we ever decide to return. A big disappointment on every level. read more

In past years, this establishment was kept clean and the food was meticulously made with appetizing presentation when serving orders to the customers. This year for some reason the quality has gone totally down, the restaurant looks filthy (floors are littered with spilled stuff). In my opinion, it looks like management/ownership has changed since seeing such a drastic change. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone - don't waist your money! To boot, I had mentioned my allergy to the waitress and asked several times if the dish I had chosen was free green/orange/yellow peppers and she reassured me it was. I get served and my dish was full of pieces of pepper! Servings staff should be made familiar with the items on the menu or someone can have severe reactions! Hopefully, this review helps people to decide... read more

We had always wanted to eat here for quite some time. We had visited many high-end restaurants in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto and this eatery was always on top of our list to visit always for the next time. What can I say? This restaurant didn't disappoint. The great outdoor patio ambience and decor captured the medieval look tucked in the middle of uptown Toronto in North York. Located at the upper part where the castle sits, Blueblood restaurant is one of the premiere steakhouses in town. Due to COVID-19, all guests dined outdoors. It would be a great choice after a sweltering heat spell. The continual validation of your needs was constant from the moment you were greeted by the hostess at its entrance to our main waiter who served us throughout our dinner. our waiter was receptive and knowledgeable of the menu. There were plenty of choices from their famous steak choices (Their Wagu steak can't be beat, though we didn't order it this time around). Great for a romantic rendez vous to a group/ family get together. Not far below from it's outdoor terrasse, you can hear events happening at the castle's garden like weddings. I recommend that you book a few months ahead to be able to reserve for a weekend spot. Our choice of the seafood tower, rib eye and raspberry cheesecake was delicious. Yes, you can arguably say you can get better steak elsewhere, but the combination of it's savory meals, impeccable service and outdoor patio are impressive. One thing though, I would have played classical music or jazz as their musical background rather than 80's or 90's musi, it would have integrated better with its scenery. Valet parking and self serve parking available. You can visit the museum at Casa Loma before or afterwards, not included with your meal. Like all high end restaurants get ready to open your wallet...$$$$ read more

Seen so many posts on social media about BlueBlood with gorgeous views and thought it'd be such a romantic and cute date night for my hubby and I... but we got the worse seats ever LMFAO in a dinky little corner where our views were blocked with tall plants and railings?? I even made a note that it was for date night too... like cmon man LMAO For appetizers, we ordered a dozen oysters, wagyu beef carpaccio and alaska crab fitters. The best app was the oysters for sure... but only the tiny ones (I forgot which kind these are sorry!), the malpeque ones were still so sandy!! The carpaccio and crab fritters were too dry. Of course, we ordered steaks for our mains. I went with the Wagyu filet mignon and my hubby got the 12 oz striplion. We asked for medium rare but they were both overcooked - my hubby's especially. We were way too hungry to send it back though so we sucked it up Lol. Our lobster mac and cheese was so creamhy and the star of the show the entire night! The mashed potatoes were just like any other mashed potatoes. Service was pretty standard, it doesn't make up for the dry apps and overcooked steaks though .. our bill ended up being about $400 after tax and tips for horrible views and below average food :( We were so disappointed we had to go the Keg the week after to make up for our experience here LMAO we got much better food and service for half the price..... sighs Blueblood is definitely not on my return list for steakhouses Lol !! read more

I recently dined at BlueBlood Steakhouse with a friend on a Tuesday evening, and I must share our deeply disappointing experience. We sat outside in a lovely pod, and our waitress promptly asked if we wanted wine. We agreed, and she said she would call the sommelier for suggestions. However, after ten minutes, the waitress returned to take our order without the sommelier. We mentioned this, and she apologized, saying she would call them again. Despite this, our steaks arrived 10-15 minutes later, and we still hadn't seen the sommelier. We were left to choose a wine ourselves while our steaks grew cold, on a night that wasn't even busy. After another ten minutes, my friend had to embarrassingly walk into the kitchen to hand over our wine selection. The wine finally arrived, but by then, our steaks were nearly finished. The waitress only offered an apology--no compensation, no complimentary wine, or dessert. We ended up paying over $500 for a meal that was ruined by poor service and disrespect. A few days later, I called the manager, Cillian, who apologized and offered a free dessert and drinks for our next visit. This offer felt like another slap in the face. Given our experience, a meal compensation was the least they could have done. Ignoring our request three times, serving cold steak, and then offering such minimal compensation is truly appalling. He also mentioned he was there that night. Why didn't he come to our table to explain what happened and apologize? Does he not know what is going on in the restaurant? The waitress had to apologize three times, and we literally walked into the kitchen to find someone to help us. How is he not that attentive? I know people reading this will think, "Oh, they didn't get their wine on time, poor them," but that's not the point. The issue is the complete lack of attention and respect we received throughout our dining experience. Being ignored repeatedly and having to embarrassingly seek out service in a high-end restaurant is unacceptable. This kind of treatment ruins what should have been a special evening and is far below what one should expect from a restaurant of this quality. If you want to go to a fancy restaurant to spend a lot of money and be ignored and disrespected, then BlueBlood Steakhouse is the place to go. read more

Fine dining is usually a hit or miss for me but fortunately I did not regret my decision to go to BlueBlood. Because of the price point I recommend saving your trip here for a special occasion as it will give you the chance to celebrate in style - also we got a cute birthday card and gift during our visit! First and foremost this restaurant is situated inside Casa Loma so automatic 10/10 for its ambience, interior, appearance or whatever you want to call it. Remember to dress to impress so you can match the aesthetic of this place. (On a side note: their patio has these cool bubbles to dine in now which I want to check out another time) In terms of the actual food I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had but I still enjoyed most of it. The lobster bisque was ordinary at best although it had a lot of lobster pieces inside which was nice. The scallop risotto was a huge hit for me, but the chicken could've been better. Luckily the extra sides I ordered with it helped save the day as the mashed potatoes and broccolini were truly delicious - and I took home the leftovers to eat the next day. Take these comments with the disclaimer that this restaurant is primarily a steakhouse so I'm assuming their actual steak might taste way better than the dishes that I had. For dessert we ordered the crepes for the sole reason that they flambé it table-side and we wanted something to post on social media but in all honesty I didn't enjoy the flavour (citrus) at all. Afterwards we were told that the baked Alaska also comes with a table-side show so I would recommend trying that instead. I also wanted to add that the service was amazing so overall it was a great experience and hopefully my review will help anyone interested in going to be more mindful of what they order. read more

Great environment and ambiance. I mean, you're literally eating in a castle! We opted for outdoor seating and the view of the city was nice from our seat. The staff were amazing and it was great service from the moment we arrived to the restaurant to when we paid the bill. There is on-site parking right outside the restaurant for $15; however, there is plenty of Green P street parking along Davenport Road. I went on a Wednesday night so parking was not hard to find. There's also a public parking lot (1138 Bathurst St) that is a 15-minute walk from the restaurant for $5 Flat Rate. The food had great taste! Everything was cooked perfectly and plated beautifully. The reason I rate this 3-stars is because it's extremely pricey. I would never return to this restaurant because it's a "go once and never again" kind of deal. I've dined at expensive steakhouses (e.g. Ruth's Chris, Peter's Fine Dining) and those are good and special enough as a whole for me to want to continue to go back. All dishes DO NOT come with sides. Just the steak or whatever you ordered and you have to pay extra for the sides. When you go to BlueBlood, you're definitely paying for the ambiance, feel of the restaurant, and the fact that you're at Casa Loma. read more

We have always wanted to eat here. I went online and made reservations a few Sundays ago. We took in the tour of Casa Loma first, and had an early dinner at 5 p.m. The steak was one of the best I've ever had. Cooked perfectly. I don't think the service could have been better if they had tried. The asparagus was slightly crispy with a lemon sauce and the truffle induced potatoes were over the top great. We don't think we have ever seen a slice of cheesecake cut as generously as what we received! We were seated immediately. A wonderful night. read more
