We came here for our anniversary and this place definitely did not disappoint - everything was so delicious and the service was just outstanding! For starters we had oysters rockefeller and ceasar salad. The ceasar salad was made the traditional way, which is made tableside by the waiters, and the oysters were deliciously creamy with a baked cheese crust. For our main dish I had a regular sized slice of roast beef, while my husband tried one of their steaks. Luckily I did not order the Peter's cut for the roast beef, as I could hardly finish their regular cut. For our desserts we tried their banana foster which was flambéed tableside as well, and served over vanilla ice cream, simply delicious! As a surprise to our anniversary they gave me a rose, and a slice of chocolate truffle cake greeting us on our anniversary, such a beautiful finishing touch to a wonderful evening at this restaurant. Peter's Fine dining is such a wonderful place to come, it has the perfect mix of relaxed atmosphere and old world nostalgic charm. We will definitely be coming back in the future! read more

Peter's Fine Dining - They surprised us with a rose and this slice of chocolate truffle cake on our anniversary. Thank you Peter's! - Seafood Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Really enjoyed this little steakhouse that's been around since 1958. The ambience is cozy and classy, with a full staff count filled with nicely dressed gentlemen who are knowledgeable in both food and wine. Our party of four had the crab cake, oyster rockafella, 42 oz tomahawk steak and the large bone-in prime rib. We got to share the perfectly cooked beef and it was wonderful. I saw someone making an Irish coffee for another table and it was the coolest thing (spoiler, lots of fire) This is a fantastic place for a date or a family dinner. You won't be disappointed. read more

Went to dinner here last night for a birthday party.the environment was excellent. The host and servers are always frendly. I didnt have to ask for water as the friendly waiter always top my glass of water. Very good i believe it is a nice place to bring a date to. We were a big group of people. All the orders came in at same time was excellent. Complimentary garlic toast as well as all those in pickled cucumber. For an appetizer we ordered green salad with creamy garlic. Although u dont get a big portion of saladbut it was nice and creamy. The soup of the day was creamy broccoli, not too salty was perfect another soup that we had was French onion soup, that one was a little bit more salty love the cheese on the top of the soup. For the main course we ordered the rib eye bone in steak medium rare. when they brought it out it was perfect crispy on the outside and very rare on the inside I loved it. The flavors were excellent well balanced salt very tender for 55$ 24oz i believe. Another dish that we had was a single lobster tail with mashed potato on the side. The lobster flavor was nice but a little bit more dry. I will come back it was very nice because at the end any ladies were given the flower to all the ladies in the table. That was perfect. Its a very nice place to go for some very well cook meat. All host and servers are very nice. When the bill came, we ask if all the bills can be split and they happy to accommodate our request. I been here 2 times now bith experience were very good. Im writting this at 5am almost, sorry if i miss anything or my grammar is not top. read more

Look no further! Absolutely the best prime rib in Markham! Looking for a special place for that special occasion! This is the place to be. The waiters have a great sense of humour yet professional at the same time. Had a great experience there and the food was top notch. It's been around for before I was born and I know why it has survived this long. read more

Oh I didnt review this place yet! I'm shocked... what's wrong with me!! Alright alright lets start with the most important thing when we go out to eat, the food! Thats right lets not lie here the food is key priority for me and these guys got it right!!! The steaks are amazing, the salad I almost died when I had, it was just SO GOOD! That's it, thats all I have to say the food is unbelievable you won't argue with me when you have it....Great drinks best old fashion I've had in a long time and garlic bread is good too... I'm hungry again.... So Char... why 4* (well because yelp doesn't have 4.5 thats why!). The second most important thing is service. I enjoyed my table side service and the present at the end 5* my friends. But while I was there, there was a group of waiters arguing over who stole who's $50 tip... sorry for me left a very bad taste in my mouth when I see people running back and forth accusing each other of stealing money... your diners are right there, take it to the back.... also the seat they put me in was right by the kitchen and my chair got kicked like 7 times.... :( HOWEVER, with that all said, the food is still so good you could put me in the back kitchen and have someone constantly kick my butt and I'll STILL be back... Oh but it's expensive... don't kid yourself and I think the prices on the website are a little off, my caesar salad (for two) was $24 think only it was $21. Still worth it though! read more

Peter's Fine Dining is an grand old restaurant that makes you nostalgic from all the old movies you watch. It is a smaller building that is not for "mass dining". Apparently they only serve a certain amount of plates a night. I walked in for Mother's Day at 8PM and everybody was seated promptly. I love that nobody has to wait in line. The service was excellent. They checked up on my family without hovering and was very polite. We got. 1. Baked Oysters with Spinach: These were okay, the oysters were extremely small but the way the spinach was cooked with the cheese was amazing. I probably would not get again though. 2. Smoked Salmon;: This plate was delicious but the salmon was not spectacular. Great to try, but wont' re-order. 3. The garlic bread was a free appetizer. This is comparable and beyond the Red Lobster bread that I am severely addicted to. I'd come here just to chow on thiks. 4. Cream of Mushroom Soup. Soup of the day. Delicious. Creamy and filled with mushrooms but a little salty. 5. Tomahawk Steak 50z Medium Rare: This had excellent presentation but medium rare was waaay to rare. It was almost like a blue cut. Will definitely ask for medium next time. It came with 2 sides - vegetables and mashed potatoes. Both great choices. 6. Prime Rib: Well Done (cringe Mom). She loved it. Juicy and tender. A little pink on the inside. We're about to go on a family vacation so we skipped dessert. But the tableside flambeed looked sooo cool. Will definitely be back!!! read more

A great place for a nice date or to celebrate a special occasion. Their prime rib is the best and always perfectly medium rare just the way I like it. Prices have gone up over the past few years but the quality remains the same. Free pickles, olives, garlic bread and a nice surprise for the ladies at the end. Definitely a classic old school style atmosphere. The service and overall experience can be either amazing or subpar depending on who your server is, but make the most of your experience! I always have a great time here. And we always leave with leftover prime rib for lunch the next day (because we fill up on their delicious garlic bread!). A lovely treat for sure. read more

Pretentious, obnoxious and perceive as if they know what fine dining really is. From food quality, dining room cleanliness to service, you would be better treated at the Keg's franchise. And, some of them don't even know how to wear their facial masks properly. read more

My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate our anniversary. Not to overreact but this place is exquisite. Even their staff were dressed fancy! It's like one of those fine dining scenes in the movie that you see. We've been to CN 360 before and despite the location, we had better experience here. Their was a coat check, which was our first time, kinda funny, coz we thought they're gonna charge us for that, but we checked in our coat anyway. Then Tom, the gentleman who was helping us brought us promptly to our table and even put on the napkins for us. We were served with garlic bread, olives and pickles for complimentary starters. We even have fresh roses as centerpiece on our table, which we think is very thoughtful. For appetizers, we got smoked salmon which is really good and presented very nicely. Then for our main we had Steak and Lobster and Chicken Neptune which was absolutely amazing! Even the portions were very generous! We loved every bit of it, the lobster was really fresh and taste amazing, same goes for the steak and the chicken neptune even had lobster bits on top and the hollandaise sauce really upscaled the game. After we ate, they brought us a free dessert that says 'Happy Anniversary' on the plate accompanied by a rose which is really sweet of them! They even offered us tea/coffee to go with the cake. It just shows how much they value every person that comes in the restaurant, they make you feel very special! We are definitely coming back for another special occasion and will recommend this place to anybody looking for a great fine dining experience! read more

We had amazing time. Great service and the steak tasted DELICIOUS!!!! I read the previous review about bringing young children . However I wanted to share my positive experience. They don't have a kids menu but the waiter did offered some suggestions that the chef can make for my 6yo daughter. My daughter wasn't interested in his recommendations, because she wanted to have seafood. This waiter listened to her and suggested a fillet of sole dish, which my daughter enjoyed. read more

THE BEST FRIGGEN PRIME RIB IN THE COUNTRY!!!!! George the server provides A1 service and so does everyone else over at Peters. The prime rib is ALWAYS juicy. It is a hidden gem in Markham. I would eat here any day over the Keg. Keep up the great work. read more

We really love this restaurant! Everything's perfect. From the moment we step in till the time we leave, they made their customers feel so special. There's a on site parking, very convenient. The lovely house situates on HWY7 between Markham road and McCowan. We went all the way from downtown to Markham because I heard lots of good reviews from friends and family. Glad we came, we had a fun date night. Inside the restaurant is beautiful. We had reservation at 7pm Sunday night, as soon as we arrived we were greeted friendly and being offered coat checks. No need to wait and we were leaded to a nice tackle for 4. Love the lightings and piano background music. All servers in tuxedos with name tags, immediately you feel thus is the fine dining :) Start with the cocktails. Cocktails are extensive here, more than 30 from martinis classic to signature single melts you always fine what you like. We order a Old Faction and Old Blue Eyes (Blueberry Voka with fruit juice) were both delicious. Love the wine list. They get in special wines quite often. We picked a half bottle of Cab from California. Price is very reasonable compare to other downtown restaurants. Appetizers, we ordered half dozen of oysters to share, they were so fresh. Caesar salads for two, prepared by our table side was creamy and yummy. Little on the salty side but I don't mind. I love old fashion way preparing at table side Caesar salad. Move on to the main, we ordered 24 Oz USDA bone in rib eyes at medium rear. It was juicy and delicious. Charcoal grill to perfection. We were surprised the quality and taste beat Zorro's and Tom Jone's. Very impressive. To end the meal, Frank made us eye catching Nutcracker coffee and Monte Crystal, they both delicious as well. At the end of meal, lady got a rose from owner. That makes the experience even more special. As fine dinning, price for this dinner it's reasonable as well. Will we come back? Answer is absolutely. It was a pleasure and we are happy. read more

Food is way overpriced for the quality of food that they give. The steak was very chewy and not tender at all.

This continues to be one of our favourite spots for a great evening out. The service is impeccable, the food is outstanding and the atmosphere is sophisticated but not stuffy. Peter's was our main indulgence we missed during the COVID shutdown. As usual, we started with Peter's amazing caesar salad (prepared at the table) and a bottle of our favourite Amarone wine. We continued with the prime rib and crab dinners - these are two of our favourite meals although the entire menu is spectacular. We ended the evening with espressos and the delicious Banana Fosters dessert. It was the perfect meal! Food aside, Peter's Fine Dining always has a way of making us feel welcomed, important and pampered. It's a great experience! Thank you Tom, George, Tula, Frank, Panos, Bill and the whole team. I was, however, very disappointed to read a couple of recent negative reviews on protocols and COVID expectations. Restaurants have taken a massive hit due to the pandemic - this is a great opportunity for us, as a community, to support our local businesses as they slowly recover and adapt to the reality of the new world. It is NOT the time for us to be petty and destructive! Hopefully these small businesses survive the increase logistical demands with the inevitable decrease in business. read more

Everything was fantastic from start to finish, from the gentle smile of the server leading us to our table to the interactive fiery tableside dining experience. The ambiance had a very distinct European flair and it felt like I was in Italy. The food was excellent - we got the Stuffed Filet of Sole and the Steak Diane which was cooked tableside. The appetizer were very delicate escargots, which were tender and full of flavor. The complimentary garlic bread was a big step above bread you would get from other restaurants, and you could tell it was baked fresh (no butter needed!). Finally, for desserts, I got the creme brulee while my date tried his hands at the Nutcracker Coffee (once again, prepared tableside). What really sold us on this restaurant was how friendly everyone was, and we interacted with several servers during the course of our meal. One of them even gave me a pink rose. I would definitely recommend this place and come back again. read more

I've been to Peter's fine dining three or four times for different occasions, recently my son treated me dinner at Peter's fine dining for my birthday , I have always enjoyed their prime ribs, this time the prime rib sauce is much too salty , I've noticed the price has gone up a lot , top it all they charged $2.50 for a cup of hot water with fresh lemon I've never been charge that at other restaurants, I don't think I will go back any more. read more

It is really 4.5 stars. I have dined at Peter's a few times before it changes owners. Last Sunday was my first visit under the new ownership and management. First thing I noticed was the interior decor. It is old school like before, but the wood trim has been freshen up, the wallpaper is new, the lighting has been upgraded. The place was much darker in old times probably to hide the imperfection of the decor. It now proudly allows natural light to come through the windows. Many table lamps add a romantic European feel. Peter's now bears a similar feel to Old Ebbitt Grill of D.C., yet it is smaller and more intimate. We ordered a prime rib, regular cut, 18oz ($35) and a New York steak (8oz) with scallops ($45). Without drilling on it, let me say that everything Billy K said about the prime rib was true. It was a sensational steak, marinated and roasted to perfection. The cut was great, the texture was tender, and it was easy to chew through. I can't think of a better steak in recent memory, including the ones in Texas and Calgary. My dining partner said his NY steak was rich in flavour and was a good cut. The scallops were very fresh. For dessert we ordered a creme brulee to share. It was also made the old fashioned way. I had never seen a restaurant served so many bits of fresh fruit on a brulee. The sugar crust was thick. I loved it. The services was professional and gentlemen. All the waiters were in suits. My waiter seemed too stiff. Peter's may not be a regular dinner restaurant for me, but it is a perfect steakhouse for occasions and to treat clients. Plus, I will say that $35 for 18 oz of fine prime rib is CHEAP. The rest of the entrees are all pushing $50 per plate. Peter's is worthy of the pretty pennies that it charges though. read more

Often a meal is just a meal....a steak is just a steak...but.....occasionally it is much more than that. We went to Peter's for our wedding anniversary last night. Upon entering Peter's you notice that the decor is sedate and old school, but in fantastic conditions. The place is spotless and the staff is very welcoming. Tom, the owner is on hand to greet diners and steer you to your table. The waiters are a rare breed....professional waiters that have been doing this for years, while being friendly and smiling but not snooty. This elevates the dining experience several notches. We were served, before our meal, delicious style of garlic toast, kalamata olives and pickles. I began my meal with a French Onion Soup, which to my surprise arrived rather quickly......but it was perfect....The broth was rich, the onions tender and the topping extremely tasty. I would have added a bit more Gruyere, but that is just a matter of personal taste. We then shared a Caesar Salad which was prepared at table-side. This was very common in the 1970's but is not done much anymore. All the ingredients were displayed on the prep cart and chatted with the waiter while the 'show' went on. We requested a teenie bit more garlic and anchovies, and I was really really really please to see that a raw egg yold was being used in the dressing. Finally a real Caesar Salad! We were then served the Caesar Salad which met all our expectations and was truly one of the best I ever had. We then were presented with our main course. Judy had her Sirloin Steak brought on the table side cart for finishing. She had ordered the Peppercorn Steak and it is 'sauced' and flambee'd at table side. I had ordered a bone-in Rib steak Pittsburgh style. Both steaks were presented with a beautiful baked potato and assorted vegetables. The Rib Steak was BY FAR the best I ever had. It was better than Ruth Cris' and better than Moshe's in Montreal which was my standard so far. It was far better then several name American Steak Houses in various cities. This is the steak I would order if I was forced to choose a last meal....it was that good. The Peppercorn Steak was also delicious when I tasted it and when I finished the last quarter, although Judy did yeoman's duty in eating most of it. This was accompanied by a nice bottle of Merlot, a gift from family members. The meal was capped by the presentation of beautiful piece or chocolate cake with a decorated plate wishing us Happy Anniversary.I have informed them of that fact when making a reservation. Judy was also presented with a long stem rose and as we sipped Greek Coffees. It was a wonderful meal......you have to try go! read more

Absolutely love this place. I drove by this restaurant for 6 years and didn't expect much given the unspectacular "curb appeal". This will teach me from judging a book by its cover. Let's get started - here's the long list of good: - Top notch service, best I ever experienced in any restaurant. This is old school service, they do everything for you. - Caesar salad is made fresh for you. They start by grinding the garlic cloves, and then the anchovies. Next is the egg and oils followed by bacon bits and croutons. Best salad ever! - They bring all the women in the restaurant fresh roses - The steak - spectacular. The Peter's cut prime rib is a few inches thick and cooked perfectly to your taste. WARNING - this is a massive slab of meat! - Steaks cooked perfectly - Peppercorn steak is amazing. They even finish cooking it at your table in a wine / peppercorn sauce over an open flame. - They ask to make sure you have everything you need - Bread at the table is also fantastic - Brazilian Coffee to die for. Takes about 5-10 minutes and made at the table as well. For a brief period of time, I thought the table could catch fire given the open flame. - Most deserts also finished at the table. These waiters earn every penny. Open flame alert here as well - Decent wine list - Nice old school feel in the restaurant. And the not so good - just one item: - As a beer lover, I was a little disappointed that they only had one beer on tap - Morreti, an Italian beer but it was ok. This place is all about the beef. What a great experience. I highly recommend this steak house. It's definitely pricier than the keg (by about 30% - 40%) but worth every penny. I will be back for sure. read more

This is my family's favourite place to be treated like Royalty in Markham. We only go for special occasions as the restaurant is very pricey. The Steaks can't be beat. Order the tableside Ceasar Salad for two for a special treat. read more

After a terrible experience at the Octagon a few weeks ago, I was aching for a visit to Peter's (which, if you did not read my previous review of the Octagon, both restaurants have the same format and similar offerings). We went last night for my mom's birthday. First - the room is old school, with gold/brass and intricate woodworking. We were seated next to the fireplace (first time to get this table and it is indeed, the best table in the house). The complimentary relish tray is fantastic - the garlic bread is the best I've had and their pickles are legit. Between the five of us - there was caesar salad (table side, natch), scallops, crab cakes, steaks, ribs, onion rings, breaded shrimp and all of the accompaniments (fries, mash, veg). One thing that's changed somewhat recently is that they no longer offer two sides with the mains. I had to order a side of vegetables. It's a small thing, but it's a bit annoying. The restaurant offered my mom a complimentary dessert, which was a nice touch. I have literally never had a dessert at Peter's b/c I'm always more interested in savoury items. The night always ends with the host bringing roses to the females at the table. Like I said - old school, but I love it. My parents haven't eaten here as much as I have. My mom was truly impressed by the steak. Aged beef and melts in your mouth. The service is lovely. A bunch of older, greek dudes who know how to make you feel welcome. OH, and b/c I always look for this in yelp reviews -- I brought my 5 year old. There weren't any special offerings for children (that I know of, admittedly I didn't ask, we just ordered from the regular menu for him). It is welcoming to children, though I wouldn't bring a child who has a risk of acting up. Mine is at an age now where he is well behaved - he loves to dress up and eat good food in a grown-up atmosphere. There was one other child in the restaurant, probably around 7 or 8 and he was watching videos on his parents' phone, which I thought was a shame. I would have been really annoyed to be seated at a nearby table. If your kid needs an iPad to keep them entertained, please do not bring them here. It is pricey. But, in my opinion, it's worth it for a special occasion. read more

A fantastic dining experience that most wont understand in the world that has become antiseptic and uptight. Well worth going to Peters Fine Dining! read more

My girlfriend took me here to celebrate my 30th birthday and I have to admit I was quite surprised when we arrived at this restaurant. I didn't know what to expect. Not only is the steak delicious, but the ambiance is surprisingly classy considering the exterior looks like a run down shack. The exterior appearance shares no resemblance of the interior. The interior has the traditional ambience of what one would associate with a traditional steak house. Calm, quiet, and classy. To start we enjoyed the Caesar Salad which was made at our table. Everything from the dressing to the leaves were fresh. It was a bonus that the Caesar dressing was made at our table and tasted fantastic. It had the perfect amount of creaminess and spice to it too, which is how I like my Caesar dressing. For my main I enjoyed Peter's Cut which was cooked to perfection. It was tender and juicy. IMO there could have been a tad more flavor in my steak, but by no means was it not delicious. One might say I tend to enjoy a lot of salt in my food anyway. My girlfriend ordered a chicken dish which was alright. It tasted fine and was cooked fine, but it certainly did not resemble the quality of the steak. Although Peter's is known for its steak we were expecting a finer dish even though it was a chicken dish. Chicken and steak go hand in hand after all. The portions were very generous and the service was absolutely what one would expect from a fine dining restaurant. This restaurant is a must for steak lovers that don't want to have to travel all the way downtown for a nice steak dinner. read more

I've been to this place two times now and both times, I've had an excellent experience! This place is definitely a hidden gem in Markham and the interior definitely looks way better than the exterior. ***Food*** 1) Caesar Salad ($22/person) This is one of their signature dishes and it is a must try. They prepare all the ingredients fresh before your very eyes with their favour giant wooden salad bowl. The sauce is made in front of you and the romaine is fresh as can be. I'm not usually a caesar salad eater but this was way different and just so fresh on many levels and so flavourful on many levels. 2) Jumbo shrimp ($26) They definitely meant it when they said jumbo shrimp. Each shrimp was the size of my hand. Each order comes with 4 shrimps and the best seafood sauce ever. 3) Mermaid Platter $68 I had an excellent experience with this and I shared this with a friend (way too big to eat for one). Our filet mignon was perfect (we ordered medium rare) and I was really impressed with how juicy it was. Crab legs were great and they had a butter sauce for you to dip. There was also a giant shrimp there was well, which was very flavourful. Also, there were scallops and I'm not usually a scallop eater, but I was very impressed with how delicious it was. 4) Prime rib $35 I had this on another occasion and it was absolutely THE BEST prime rib I have EVER tasted. They cook the prime rib to perfection and it is just so ridiculously awesome & juicy. I felt like I was in heaven when I was eating it. 5) Crepes Suzette (pour deux) $22 These are crepes sautéed in butter, brown sugar, orange juice, cognac and flambéed with Grand Marnier. While I felt that the crepes were good, I really thought the Grand Marnier overpowered everything. There was too much alcohol in it and I think it would have been way better if we had ordered a "virgin" Crepe Suzette. 6) Apple pie ($10) I had this the next time and it was delicious. You really can't go wrong with apple pie unless you're at Swiss Chalet or something. It was warmed up with vanilla ice cream on the side. Perfect comfort food to end your meal. ***Ambiance*** The interior is way better than the exterior. My mother thought I brought her to some sketch place when I parked outside until we went in to the interior. It's definitely a quiet dining place where screaming/shouting/yelling/crying is definitely not encouraged - hence why I see in some reviews that they're not kid friendly. The demographics of people eating here on the two nights I came were couples (old & young), mom & daughters, families with teenaged & grown up children, girls night out (us), groups of young adults, and one family with a baby (who cried at the end). I'm sure someone is going to shoot me for saying this and no, I don't have children. But I honestly think that while this place shouldn't have refused service to families with very young children, this is a place where disruptive crying/yelling/shouting would not be pleasant for many people. When you're paying $50+ per person to enjoy a quiet meal, I can see why a very young infant's involuntary screaming would not be enjoable. I don't think that parents with babies should be denied fine-dining services but I think this is one of those places where you should find a baby-sitter for the night to tend to junior while you two enjoy. However, if you have *the perfect toddler/baby* who won't impulsively start crying/screaming/yelling, then kudos to you. :) ***Service*** Service is top-notch. Everyone is so sweet and friendly there. They even give women a rose at the end of their dinner :). It's so sweet and cute. Both times, my server was extremely pleasant and courteous. ***Portions*** The portion sizes, as many have already stated, are gigantic! The night I ordered a prime rib, I could only eat half of it (because I needed room for dessert...). They are totally fine with you taking your leftovers home and will happily pack it for you :). read more

My experience match to all reviews posted. I was impress with this resturant. First impression: old school - similar to The David Duncan House or The School. However, the service and quality of food were excellent. Way better than the 2 resturants mention above! My husband reserved in advance and told them the occasion was for our wedding anniversary. They gave us a slice of chocolate cake with happy anniversary on the plate. And every lady in the room get a rose at the end of the night, I think it was very sweet. My husband order prime rib and I order Halibut (I just couldn't see myself finishing their steak - smallest portion was 8 oz). One suggestion for them will be to provide smaller portion on the menu, LOL. Hidden gem in Markam, MUST TRY! read more

We went for a special occasion, and while 4 of the 5 of us enjoyed our meals, one member of my party did not. She not once, not twice but four times told both wait staff and host that she found the ribs too salt, and no one offered to give her something else, or offered a replacement, or offered anything complimentary!? I'd like to believe there may have been a language barrier with some of the wait staff but definitely not with the host (i.e. no language barrier). So while I will say the food was very good for 80% of my party the experience left me questioning whether they felt our party wasn't as deserving of "fine dining" experience!? read more

I took my parents here recently for their 30th anniversary dinner. I had called previously to get reservations and ensure that they would be able to accommodate for a vegetarian. That's always tricky with steakhouses. They did, which was great! We had 2 of our guests who worked late that day and we had to shift the reservation time by an hour and the restaurant was extremely accommodating. Was worried about the last minute change, but when I called, they were superb about it. I LOVE the ambiance. The restaurant and its servers exude an old school, classical fine dining aura within the restaurant. It can't be compared to steakhouses with modern dining flair like Jacobs, but for a family dinner, I much preferred Peter's Fine Dining to Jacobs, where I had celebrated my brother's birthday a few months earlier. The prices were also very reasonable. For 6 of us, the bill came to under 500 including tax and tips. We didn't order very much alcohol, but I had noticed quite a few reasonable options on the wine list as well. If you do visit, definitely order one of their liqueur coffees. They make it right in front of you, really quite the performance. :) The ladies were each given a long-stem rose at the end of the meal, which was a lovely gesture. The only thing to note is that parking is limited. There are a few spots in the front and a few in the back and along one side of the building, which doesn't look very big. read more

An oldie in the neighborhood, this restaurant has been around probably longer than you have. As many has passed by on Hwy 7, you most likely have seen Peter's Fine Dining before (the little house right next to Mr Sub ), but never thought much about it. Seemingly not that big of a restaurant from the outside (and it isn't that big on the inside either), the decor has an old charm feel with plenty of dark wood decor and dimly lit candles (not sure if it's always that dark in there?). The restaurant has one floor only, with bathrooms in the basement. The restaurant itself wasn't the quietest fine dining I've been to... so if you want an ultra quiet spot, ask for one in the back. We came here for a birthday celebration so we ordered a number of items on the menu. Some notable dishes include oysters rockefeller, tomahawk steak, escargots, filet mignon, creme brulee, and banana foster. As for the birthday person, the restaurant provides a complimentary dessert (cake from the menu) nicely decorated, and presented with a birthday song. A small, but nice gesture whenever restaurants offer that. Their tomahawk steak is a must try; not too many places offer it, and since Peter's is known for their steaks, we decided to give it a try. And it was great! Its suggested serving is for (at least) 2 people; it comes with the bone on a small cutting board, and takes up a chunk of the table. Flavour was good; exterior was nicely seasoned and interior was the perfect colour of pink. The exterior was a little dry for my liking (even for dry aged), but the interior was on point. The escargots were flavourful, not salty. Had it come with the shell and letting me take it out on my own I would've liked it more. Just the overall experience. The oysters rockefeller is a must try. I'll leave it at that. Their filet mignon (I believe) is on their 'ligther fare' menu, so the portion is a bit smaller, which is good if you're not a huge meat eater. And of course, you cannot finish a fine dining experience without dessert (or any meal for that matter). There's a section of desserts on their menu that are made tableside. This involves flames FYI. We ordered the banana foster; the alcohol overpowered the dessert's flavours imo, but it was still a nice warm dessert on a cool night. Price point: you would expect the same as is with most fine dining restaurants. Would I return? It wasn't my favourite.... not exactly 'fine dining-dining' (there were children, and some diners were dressed quite casually) but the food was good nonetheless. read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but this is a great old school steak house/restaurant. I can't think of a better place to get steak in Markham. This is certainly a big step above the Keg and other chains; although, I wouldn't quite put in the same league as the higher-end Toronto steak houses. The portions are very large here, and the peppercorn steak in particular is great. The service is excellent, and the decor is pretty old school without seeming cheesy. I get the impression that this restaurant has very loyal clientele and does a lot of repeat business, which is always a good sign. read more

We has a lovely time. Great place to get dressed up and go out. I went with my teenage boys but would be great for a date night. Older crowd. Don't think I'd go with younger children although I did see a family with a young one there. I had the rack of lamb and out was superb. Had the crab cakes as an appetizer and were amongst the best and I am a crab cake true fan. One of my boys had the steak which he loved and my other had Peters prime. Peters prime is a slab of meat the likes of which I've never seen besides in an episode of the Flintstones. Could feed a family of five, honestly. My son who has a huge appetite could not finish it so we brought it home and will use it for dinner (stir fry) and there will be enough for seconds. It was SUCCULENT. He had it medium-rare and it was soooo moist. The waiters and maitre d were very attentive. Nice wines. AND at the end of the night they gave me a fragrant pink rose :-) Definitely recommend for a special night out and can't wait to go back with my husband. Pricey but great for a special night out. read more

Being raised in Markham you could imagine my surprise to see a fining dining option right down the street. Once you step inside, you enter a world of another tier. As you take your seats the waiters will offer up their hearts. Throughout the night, a waiter will engage your group in a polite conversation. This is truly a lovely treat. Leaning on previous reviews, we decided to go for the caesar salad and fillet mignon. Both were magnificent! Now, you've probably had 'cesar salad' plenty of times before, in your head you could probably picture it. Yet nothing could have prepared us for this... i'll stop on this note as my words only diminish the experience. Words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. Now go. Go and experience it with your loved ones. read more

Peter's is a nice and great place to have a great prime rib!! For the price you pay its totally worth it!! Our whole table of 8 got the regular cut prime rib with a baked potato! It was cooked to perfection! Once you walked through the doors you were greeted. The main person was very friendly and gave out roses to the ladies at the table at the end of the meal. The only thing that this place needs to improve on are the waiters who reach infront of customers at the table to pour water, serve food and remove dishes. A simple "pardon my reach" or even an "excuse me" so we can acknowledge that you're about to reach infront of our faces instead of being surprised with your arm inches away from our face. I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to others read more

Peter's Fine Dining - Regular cut prime rib - Seafood Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I have to admit I'm a little tossed with my own review. I am very tempted to give this place a 4/5 instead but I can't justify it cause I probably won't go again. To start off - the service was very good. Just below excellent if anything. The server checked on us regularly but not too many times where it becomes an annoyance. Tables around us ordered special items which gave us a bit of a show as well. The atmosphere was very classic fine dining in the mid 90s. We ordered a prime rib, rib steak, mushrooms and crab cake. The total at the end was a little under $300, which was very acceptable as the steaks were 24oz each. They also offered free bread pre buttered (might be too much butter for some people but I liked it a lot) and some pickles and olives. Personally I never seen a restaurant that gave more than bread so I salute them for this (and it was good too). With all that's said the reason I give this review only 3/5 instead of 4 or 5 stars is cause the main course was under my expectations. It was juicy but not very flavourful. All we really tasted was charred. I always almost ready to ask for gravy. In fairness we didn't eat much of steak, we were pretty much full with all the bread and appetizer before our steak. If I am to break this down... Atmosphere - 6/10 Service - 9/10 Food quality/taste - 6/10 Value - 8/10 The reason I said I would probably not go back is simply that I want to see more quality in food when spending a couple hundred or more on a single meal. Fine dining should be a little more of an art than just pig out. Never the less, for anyone who has not been here. I still do suggest you try it out and make your own call. It's not a wallet breaker. read more

Didn't get anywhere near a piece of steak because immediately when we stepped into this FINE establishment, "Tom" (tall man with greasy long black hair) said to my husband, "just so you know, there is a dress code and no shorts are allowed" and he proceeded to show us to our table. OK, sorry. We sit down, and he continues to lecture us, "I know it's summer, but you should know to distinguish what is appropriate dress at a FINE restaurant". After this second attempt to insult and lecture us, my husband confronted his behaviour as inappropriate and asked to speak to the owner, who we were told was on vacation. My husband was not the only one in shorts, and "Tom" clarified that he had the same conversations with these other patrons. This FINE example of a host did not offer an apology as we up and left and vow to never return. Just to clarify, it was 36C with humidex of 40C and my husband was wearing dressy khaki shorts, not the wrinkly kind, with a linen button up shirt. There was NO mention of a dress code - neither at the entrance or on their website. If there was, we'd be respectful but Tom's attitude and tone was shockingly inappropriate to lecture and question a patrons choice in dress. How dare you. Never in our lives and travels to FINER dining establishments have we ever encountered such rude and unacceptable hospitality. Utterly disgusted. I will be sure to file a complaint to the Markham BIA. read more

Fine dining Gem in Unionville! Good steak and seafood restaurant. They offer unlimited garlic bread which is super yum! Had the prime rib which was good, but most prime ribs I find are quite similar. Sides are the usual. The best part of this restaurant is the dessert and service! The waiters are all dressed up and very classic and provided great service. The place is very old school looking and even looked a bit dingy from the outside, here's where they lost points. However, the food is good, old fashion and wholesome. For desserts we ordered the the banana foster pour deux and the crepe suzette pour deux, it might seem kinna pricey at $22 but I think it's worth it. They bring out this cart with different flavouring and liqueurs and they cook it in front of you. Cooking the differnt ingredients and lighting the liqueur on fire and putting on a show for you. Which was quite entertaining and is good for special occasions. The Banada foster tasted quite good and it's reallly different from anything else i've had before. The sauteed bananas with cinnamon and brown sugar as well as rum was divine. Cooked fresh and placed over vanilla ice-cream is exactly what you are paying for with the 22 bux! Of course you get two portions as it is for two people. I must say that I thought the crepe suzette was not as good. The crepe was not as professionally made, although fresh. They need to optimize their batter a little bit to make it more smooth. Also it may be because I just don't like the orange flavour as much and it is lacking a fruit component. Overall very happy with the quality and portions of the food and the quality of the service. There is ample parking in the parking lot. read more

LOVE LOVE this restaurant. Yeah, it's old-school. The décor is dated and Peter's is located on some road amidst apartment buildings and a gas station. But once inside, you are transported into a different era (okay a bit much, but I'm excited in writing this review!) I decided to take my dad here for Father's Day, at his bequest. The place is tiny, but we were so lucky in getting a private-ish table on the "second floor" (which is only 4 steps up). I'm so glad we got this table because there was no one behind me and no one behind my dad. Love the older man with the crazy hair. It's like a Lion's mane - all thick, black, and flowing. Service was amazing and we started off with a bottle of Amarone della Valpolicella. We even got it in a fancy decanter which started the evening. Highlights of the night were the table-made Ceasar Salad which is a show in itself. Both my dad and SO ordered the meat which comes in a very GENEROUS portion. I went for the Dover Sole (yumyum) and my mom decided to splurge with Alaskan King Crab. Seriously, the menu here has something for everyone and the prices reflect the generous (I can say that again) portion size. I would highly recommend this place for parents and special occasion events, but hey, if you're in the area it could be a regular jaunt as well. Somehow, the old-ness of this place is what makes it so charming. And with waiters dressed in their penguin suits delivering A+ service, it just elevates Peter's that much more. 5 stars in my books! read more
