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.

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.

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.

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.

Ribeye steak, wagyu burger, brussel sprouts, mashed potato

I came here for my husband and I's anniversary and we truly enjoyed our time there! The staff are super attentive during our meal and made great recommendations! Our steak was perfectly cooked and our sides were absolutely delicious! We would definitely come again for future celebrations! Note - there is paid parking on site I or you can also opt for paid valet parking as well.

Top-top steakhouse here everyone. Obviously you can't beat the 'decor' as it's literally housed in the Gothic Revival mansion in midtown. Steaks, sushi (surprsingly, right?), and drinks all grade A.

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 got a three cheese plate and it was really good....for dinner, we got the Wagyu sampler, which came with an American, Australian and Japanese filet samples (4 oz each). I definitely loved the Japanese one the best...then the American, then the Australian. Great dining experience, but I don't know if I would repeat the sampler.

It's a nice place for a special occasion. The restaurant and surroundings are beautiful. Nice ambience inside the restaurant. The food is hit or miss, specially the steak and octopus , never consistent. Their Caesar salad is always delicious.

Queen & Prince lives in castles, and this steakhouse is in a castle
Cecilia T.

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!

Steak Tartare in Bone Marrow Canoe
Alaleh P.

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.

Still no call backs from them. Disappointment at its finest. You'll get better service elsewhere for your money

Steak mash potatoes
Suzanna A.

Really nice love the vibe inside it was nice and dark. Staff were really nice and steak was very good

Joe J.

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.

But when Toronto…read moreLife hosted a special TL Insider dinner ($225 per person, inclusive of taxes and gratuities), curiosity won out. The prices listed below reflect the regular menu, though portions at the event were likely smaller than standard service. The evening began with a beef skewer ($31), featuring cubes of barbecued beef glazed in teriyaki and topped with plenty of chives. Unfortunately, consistency was an issue. Other guests raved about how tender theirs were, while mine arrived overcooked. It wasn't inedible, but it certainly wasn't tender. One of the restaurant's newer additions is its aged fish program, so I was eager to try the dry-aged salmon ($33). Listed as a "crudo," I expected delicate slices in a citrusy sauce, but it arrived as another skewer. The texture was undeniably smooth, with the dry aging removing any chewiness, but the salmon also developed a gaminess that lingered unpleasantly. A marinade or thinner slicing might help balance things out. I'm glad their signature Caesar salad ($24) remains excellent. It's beautifully balanced with acidity, savouriness, and thoughtful touches like buttery breadcrumbs and bacon bits that aren't rock hard. It's still one of the better Caesars in the city, though tableside preparation now costs an additional $10. Fans of tartare will likely appreciate the beef tartare ($41), which is prepared traditionally with minimally dressed hand-cut beef. Personally, I wanted more contrast in texture or flavour, though tartare has never been my go-to dish. I did appreciate the accompaniments of buttery crostini and gem lettuce leaves, which offered a lighter way to enjoy it. And for fans like me, don't worry their cheese bread puffs still make an appearance (along with their take home chocolate muffins). What continues to shine at Jacobs is the steak itself. The 40-day dry aged striploin was cooked beautifully, developing a crust that locked in the juices while maintaining tenderness despite being a leaner cut. The seasoning is more restrained, which allowed the volcanic sea salt and chimichurri on the side to actually enhance the beef rather than overwhelm it. The pecorino broccolini ($22) had me almost finishing off the plate and is such a nice accompaniment with the rich beef. The only disappointment was the duck fat fries ($21), which arrived lukewarm and slightly stale, likely a casualty of serving a packed dining room. Dessert ended the evening on a high note. The crème brulee ($21) was fantastic with visible vanilla bean specks throughout the silky custard. The sugar topping was thin and delicate, avoiding that overly sweet crunch some versions suffer from. Served alongside a sizeable chocolate biscotti and a fragrant orange shortbread cookie, it's easily large enough to share. With the expanded dining room, the front-of-house team has clearly grown as well. The staff is younger and fresher-faced, so any old-school steakhouse stuffiness has largely disappeared. More importantly, the service remains polished and attentive, and we were well taken care of throughout the evening.

It's a small, elegant space that feels both intimate and deliberate, with every detail carefully thought through. What we ordered: foie gras, octopus, Caesar salad, and a range of steaks. The meal begins with amuse-bouche -- little bites that quietly announce the kitchen knows what it's doing. The food: exceptional across the board. The foie gras is rich and perfectly seared, the octopus tender with a bit of char, and the steaks are cooked and seasoned with precision. Every course feels intentional and balanced.

The team moves with quiet efficiency and professionalism throughout the night. Overall: not the best value in town, but easily one of the best steak experiences in Toronto.

Alongside the expected dill pickles are snap peas, celery, fennel, carrots, and onions. It's a refreshing way to start the meal and a welcome palate cleanser between bites once the meat sweats inevitably kick in. Even the Caesar salad ($27; half order pictured after being split) has evolved, now topped with a thick strip of tender, beautifully caramelized bacon. The dressing packs plenty of flavour: lots of garlic, a subtle anchovy umami, a touch of sweetness that may come from sherry, and a zingy finish that tastes like a generous helping of horseradish. Even split between two people, it's still an impressively hearty starter. The dry-aged bone-in rib steak ($108 for 16oz) remains Barberian's signature dish and was fantastic as always. Charcoal grilling lends it a subtle smokiness, while the beautifully caramelized crust gives way to a perfectly medium-rare centre. Their signature seasoning adds plenty of flavour without becoming overly salty. Compared to previous visits, the bone seemed slightly smaller, but the beef itself was every bit as flavourful and wonderfully tender. Still, it was the roast prime rib of beef ($96) that had my eyes popping. The towering, nearly two-inch-thick slice made me wonder whether I'd accidentally been served a double portion. There's no choice of doneness with the prime rib, and mine was a touch rarer than I normally prefer, but it remained incredibly tender. The intensely seasoned crust was delicious enough to break off and enjoy with each bite. I actually preferred pairing it with a smear of horseradish and some of that seasoning over the accompanying red wine demi-glace, which leaned a little too sweet for my taste. Give me a simple au jus any day. As if the portion weren't generous enough, the prime rib also comes with the rib bone, a satisfyingly meaty beef bone, and a massive Yorkshire pudding that's wonderfully airy with an incredibly crisp exterior. Every steak also includes your choice of French fries or a baked potato. We both opted for the latter: a fist-sized fluffy potato finished tableside with your choice of sour cream, bacon bits, and feta. While the sour cream is a classic topping, the feta adds a creamy saltiness that works surprisingly well. Needless to say, you'll leave stuffed. In our case, we packed up enough prime rib to make sandwiches for two the following evening. Fortunately, I had wisely saved room for dessert. The New York style cheesecake ($22.50) was beautifully balanced: rich without being heavy, dense yet silky smooth, with a thin crust that added just enough savoury contrast. The fresh strawberry sauce complemented the cheesecake perfectly without overwhelming it with sweetness. Blueberry and chocolate are also available if you prefer.

Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

Our first sojourn into the Alo family of restaurants…read more.. Ambiance: a hellacute "dinette" format with retro 70s stylings done with contemporary class. Perfectly lighted, which seems odd to say but yeah, it makes a difference. Service: Impeccable. Professional, friendly, helpful but also unobtrusive. Food: TL;DR: "ooh la la" We started with the torched hamachi crudo, which was a symphony of flavour on the palate. The fish was perfectly prepared and struck with just the right texture and char. The candied ginger hits with some zesty accompaniment. In another instant, you're transported to Southeast Asia with a soothing coconutty, tamarind (?) dressing and finally, your head turns (in a good way) when the jalapeño hits. Every bite was a trip. We were in a foodie trance when the next courses arrived. The triple fried French fries were as good as they sounded. There's no picture because my mouth was faster than my camera. The lobster & shrimp fritters were perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with crustacean flavour. The sauce was another hit of tang and zest. I think the gastronomical term for how we ate them is "wolfing." The Brussels sprouts were smaller and more flavourful than you commonly find on menus featuring this on-trend appetizer. They were perfectly caramelized and seasoned. The peanuts offered a nice crunchy contrast. We finished with the lemon meringue pie which was a visual and sweet feast in and of itself. I favoured the crust and the meringue topping to the ultra sweet and tart filling but all three shone together in concert. The meringue especially was a gooey, marshmallowy party that spilled over the rest of the dessert. I finished with an Amaro Meletti, which was a nice caramel-cola flavoured digestif and would make a fantastic sorbet (hint to the chefs for a summer treat). Allez chez Aloette, gentile Aloette

We went there on a weekend with quite high expectation as it's been in Michelin stat list for…read moremultiple years in a row. Well, we were somewhat disappointed. The interior, especially the furniture needs a refresh. Service is good, our server was knowledgeable. We had the 12oz Prime Striploin medium-rare, Grilled Duo Lamb and Triple Cooked Fries. The presentation was nice, cooked with near perfection, except the fries. However, the selection of meat cut/quality really needs improvement. The price vs quality falls far below for a great rating.
