Superb service! Thank you, Steve. =) Delectable food. Impeccable presentation. Creative combinations. Upscale yet relaxed atmosphere.
Food was delicious, service was excellent! Tina our waitress was pleasant and accommodating. Thank you!
If not for a recommendation, I would've never visited since obviously I do not eat Kosher. Excellent steak! and meat platter! Great service. Appetizers and smashed potatoes are very good also. Initial sticker shock; but you can share steak and apps to make it reasonable. I'd come back for steak alone.
Very nice place. Wait staff was very friendly and polite, though a bit slow. Food was delicious, at least whatever I was able to eat. Appetizers, we had Beef carpaccio and Cigars, very good. For entree, we ordered their Chef special cut, which was a steak and veal with some side dishes and sauces. Everything on that board was amazing, except for the veal, it was just not edible.
For those worried about getting those “gains” at dinner time, look no further. No shortage of animal protein at this restaurant. You can get a piece of meat so large, it puts the Flintstone era to shame! While I tend to lead more of a vegan lifestyle, I decided to venture back into the world of all things meat for this dinner, and had no regrets. Highly recommend this place for all you meat-eaters out there 🥩
Utterly epic in very way. The most incredibly succulent, tender and juicy steak. Fabulous top notch rib eye. Our waiter was so professional and helpful. He attentively listened to my allergies and ensured the food was safe for me to eat. I HIGHLY recommend dining here. Stunning and jovial atmosphere. Best kosher steak I’ve ever had. Also fabulous fries and sides. Thank you!
Good food, slow service, somewhat overpriced. Waited 10 minutes to be seated (no host at the door). Kept having to ask to have our water glasses filled. Food was tasty and well presented. Pulled brisket sandwich arrived with a chunk of the bun missing, as though a mouse had nibbled it. Waiter never offered us mixed drinks or wine, but overall a good experience.
Their page of appetizers enticed; indeed, diners can easily mix-and-match these smaller plates to make a full meal. The pulled brisket tacos ($26) are ideal if you’re in the mood for beef but in smaller portions. Two flour shells were stuffed with chunks of flavourful and tender brisket, pico de gallo, guacamole and pickled onions. Pieces of smoked potato chips, placed on a top, were an excellent addition enhancing the otherwise soft savoury tacos with some crunch. Although the eggplant ($20) sounded like a lighter dish, the roasted eggplant was roasted with so much oil that it became so crispy you’d swear it’s deep fried. Regardless, if you don’t mind the oiliness, the starter has fantastic flavours: the creamy eggplant layered with nutty tahini, crunchy pine nuts, and sweet pomegranate. These were all roasted together so the tahini was warm and the flavours melted into the eggplant. With such a strong start to the meal, the execution of our main, a cote de boeuf ($85), was a letdown. At first glance, the huge 22oz bone-in rib steak looked impressive, with beautiful sear marks and a nicely caramelized surface. It was also a wise decision to share the main, as the actual bone was not overly thick so we were left with a substantial portion of beef. However, upon cutting through the “medium rare” steak, it’d be better classified as a poorly done blue. While the outer ring was seared and cooked through, the centre was very rare, to the point that it was difficult to cut through and I could smell and taste the rareness. Note to Prime: the metallic taste of half-cooked beef is awful and the slightly off smell is even worse.
Parking: There is a large parking lot behind the restaurant with the entrance off Brooke (West of Avenue Rd) Food
Amazing! Cant wait to go back!
i am so glad I got to try their amazing food , i just had the best plate in a very long time
Absolutely delicious food, great service and atmosphere! highly recommend! Food
We had a super amazing meal.....every steak was made to perfection....who needed dessert.......
Great food and amazing service - highly recommend
Vegetarian options: Soup Food
I have to say, I am so disappointed that I ll probably have to come back here in the future, as many of my family and friends keep strict kosher, and gourmet fleischig options are so limited. The employees know this too, which is why they get away with the type of service that does not exist in the real world. We witnessed two distinct parties in our section (larger tables too) arrive after we had arrived, be served, finish and have their table cleaned, as we are waiting longer for a coconut pie and water refill to come out than we had for the entire main course. There seemed to be no problem attentively checking on the neighbouring tables throughout their meals, giving them water and getting their food out. Manager attempted to rectify the situation after we had complained, which we appreciated somewhat but I am just struggling to understand why my $500 is not the same as the next guy s. The amount of tips these people make, I expect a lot more.
Although not promptly seated, we had a most enjoyable meal. Dietary restrictions: Fully.kosher, of course. Food : 4/5 |
Great food. Incredible service. An outstanding experience
Second to none Kosher Steak House. My wife and I went there strictly Kosher, but a good steak house dinner.. The place was elegant and our hostess Tina was delightful. I had the tomato soup and Delmonico steak and my wife had a Caesars salad and the beef short rib dinner, we also shared an amazing Maple infused Crème Brulee. The food was worth the reservation and the ambiance was just right. We will return to this place when we visit Toronto again.
Delicious kosher food amazing service nice atmosphere Good location highly recommended.
Beautiful restaurant with an amazing food and service! Must try!
Great variety had a special menu and great service great pricing worth a try good luck guys
Wonderful evening. Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere and great service from our waiter Efe. Highly recommended.
Even though the place was not full, we were still waiting quite a while between courses. The food was really well prepared as well as delicious Food
Very nice restaurant, excellent service, tasty kosher meat food. Thanks to Mr. Serdar who served us.
Amazing restaurant, excellent service, good food, good atmosphere, really amazing
We were disappointed today. The restaurant was overbooked and our food order came to us cold. The wait staff did their best to smooth over the situation, but when you pay prime avenue prices, the expectation is for much better.
We waited one and half hour for our food and eventually had to leave because we just didnt feel like eating anymore
excellent service and the food was amazing!!!
It was a very memorable evening. Thank you Efe we appreciate your effort!
The food took a while to come out. Otherwise great food and drinks.
Honestly, its pretty good. Its kosher which limits the menu, but not the quality. I think the steaks could use a bit more finesse as in better sear and no unnecessary spices, and the sides need a bit more complex flavour, still over all a solid 4 stars!
Steaks are unbelievable good
High end, very classy kosher restaurant. Excellent and highly professional waiters
Great food. Slow service. A bit noisy.
Food is served so nicely , and taste are amazing , feels you are getting quality meat , pro service , would come back any time , definitely 5 stars restaurant.
A bit pricy but the food and service are amazing !!!!!
I have been to Prime half a dozen times and the food is always amazing. The service can be a bit slow at times, but overall a 5/5 experience.
It s a Kosher steakhouse. Overpriced, average taste. It is what it is
Prime on Avenue hosted our intimate wedding reception last year. Arthur and his staff were excellent. They adhered to all of our needs & helped made that night a memorable one. A year later our guests are still raving about the amazing food they had. The food was flavourful and cooked to perfection. Could not recommend this restaurant enough whether it s a simple dinner out or for a special occasion! Vegetarian options: The cauliflower appetizer is SO good and the perfect sharing portion. Dietary restrictions: Some of our wedding guests were vegan and the restaurant had tasty options! I myself don t eat meat so I opted for the salmon and it was delicious!
This place is very good. Its also very expensive lol. My boss took us out and paid for it, so i dont normally get to experience restaurants with prices like these but i definielty enjoyed it. The drinks were good and i shared this big board of steak and multiple sides with a colleague. I think it was over $200 but it was yummy lol. If this place is within your budget Id say its worth a visit. Dietary restrictions: I believe this is a kosher restaurant so good for those that follow and good for those with dairy and lactose intolerance.
Good food, atmosphere and service. Little slow because the place was packed. Tried their best to keep everyone content.
Food was absolutely out . Hospitality was amazing. Attention to detail was fantastic. Amazing experience.
REALLY BAD SERVICE FOR THE PRICES!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
My go-to place for fine kosher dining in Toronto
Steaks and burgers are good here. Great service.
What an amazing meal Steve is the best waiter and always takes such good care of me and my family!!
Great service delicious food friendly staff
Wow wooowww and wow woowww First of all, lets start with the fact that they told me that there is nothing to eat in Toronto, its a mistake! Prime has an outstanding restaurant Ive eaten steaks all over the world And they get first place from me for the steaks I have never tasted such a steak in my life Simply heaven on earth Delicious, amazing, juicy, wow, just the way I wanted it to be The prices are high in the restaurant But like I said, every cent is worth paying here And Im not talking at all about their other dishes which were just a shell But the steak... extraordinary! The service is amazing Fast service Smiling and kind service There is no doubt at all that we will return here again and again and again Thank you very much prime team
Our server, Effy, was amazing and such a lovely soul. We split the platter and it was so delicious, as were the drinks and desert.
Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous!
Came for an anniversary dinner. Service was excellent, salad and steak was superb. Our waiter was very attentive and brought us a variety of yummy sauces. I was disappointed with the smoked meat. At 100$ a dish it needs to be tender and flavorful, half the meat was dry and some even burnt. definitely not melt in your mouth as promised. Overall great food, large portions and nice ambience.
Prime on Avenue is a really good restaurant. Food is great, atmosphere is really upscale and the service was really as expected. I recommend you try out this steak/smokehouse wether you are in town or passing by.
Great experience top notch service and friendly staff food was fabulous and the portions are decent for a chef s restaurant a bit pricey but worth the money
Dietary restrictions: Kosher
We went their for my birthday and my brother in laws birthday. Ordered Chefs special cut and asked for medium rare, it looked nice the sides were great, but it was pretty much cooked and dry. We asked for it to be redone as it was costing us 200 for that steak. When the replacement arrived it was medium rare but the portion was much smaller than what was ordered it looked like a different kind of steak than what we received earlier. The taste was just all right, but honestly The Keg steak tastes better for half the price, so not very impressed overall, my wifes chicken and sister in-laws steak was all right and it was also medium rare. Anyway, definitely will not go back, there were no make ups for doing the steak wrong, no discount or extra incentives offered, just a replacement that was not even on par with our original ordered in terms of quality. Parking: Limited street parking, but when we were there, it wasnt busy so it was fine.
We were there for a Monday evening Bar mitzvah dinner with 30 others. The dinners were excellent. Steak Salmon Chicken all delish. Appetizers were great and desert were decedent. The only problem that caused me to give 4 out of 5 was the lack of air conditioning. The other room was so cool. P. S. The staff was very friendly and accommodating Well done
An amazing restaurant, food was superb and the meat tastes so good. We had an amazing waiter Sardar who was doing a great job to make our experience amazing.
We dined in here to celebrate a birthday. We thought we had a pleasant experience and food was alright for the price. However, we realized we paid much more than what we thought it would come out to be so we calculated all the prices and turns out we were charged extra 7%. After going through a few reviews, we found they charge 20% tax instead of the usual 13%. I didn t find any other restaurants in Niagara falls charging extra tax except for Prime Steak House. Leaving a review so that people can make a decision being aware of this as we certainly didn t.
Very nice atmosphere, fantastic food and service! Meat platter is huge and amazing.
recently hosted a dinner for 7 persons. Steve and Rita, our servers were outstanding. They were both attentive and professional. One guest had certain food allergies and Steve and Rita and the kitchen staff went above and beyond to ensure my guests food contained neither offending food item. The food was excellent and i highly recommend this restaurant.
Great Kosher fare, good wine list. Great service. Order the chef special. Food : 5/5
Amazing steaks! A must try!
Good quality food, absurdly priced. Most certainly not worth it.
Delicious food, fantastic service. Expensive, but well worth it!
Great food. Even better service. Everyone loved it
Love that there are some delicious vegan options!
Amazing salmon dish!
Food was great
Never disappointed. Try everything!
Classic Steakhouse vibe with the steak (and ribs, chicken, burgers and sides) to back it up.
Food and service were superb! Ambience and waiting was special. Highly recommend.
Great food, excellent service
Lovely food. Enjoyed appetizers to deserts and we had a pleasant server.
I had an amazing dinner here tonight. Never have been before. I ordered the Prime Steak, boneless Ribeye, and it was phenomenol. It literally melted in my mouth. Its a little on the pricey side, but it was worth every penny. The Lemon Merangue Tart was amazing. Thanks to the kitchen and dining room staff for a wonderful meal.
Delicious
Wonderful service, efficient, professional and high class. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was amazing! The only suggestion I have is that the owner, who was there and very friendly the entire night, not wear blue jeans. Blue Jeans takes the class out of the experience. All in all though, a wonderful experience and highly recommended!
Efe was our waiter he was so accommodating and the food was delicious!
Amazing food and service!
The smoked brisket was excellent
Very delicious
We had an amazing dinner of 13 guests and the service was unbelievable.
Food is pretty good, wine list isnt extensive, and can get a bit loud in there.
Food was delicious and the service was attentive.
Steak was v. good though a little pricey and service was slightly slow.
Good food and better service
The service was good but the menu is over priced.
The Kosher Prime steak to perfection!
Great place! Tasty food with lots of options for everyone. Amazing veggie and meat options. Kosher Prime Steak was cooked to perfection! The chocolate explosion dessert was fantastic! The servers were very attentive to every detail. Highly recommend! I will go there again
Delicious appetizers and steaks
Lies about prime grade beef and dry aging them, there beef is also horribly cooked, my first time being there will be the last.
Nice ambiance, fantastic service - not too pushy, knows their stuff, took care of everything in a timely matter. Food. Was. Excellent. I can honestly say that I couldnt have made it better myself. Nice wine selection. Really happy that I went, and would definitely go again. Thank you for upping the quality of kosher dining
No side dishes with the steak. just a steak. Good service.
too expensive def not worth it
Very expensive and food was just ok. Stick to their BBQ.
Great food, great service !
Very clean and worth the money! Their smoked platter was out of this world!
Very good food. Loved the smoked brisket. Excellent service. Very clean
Don t trust those fake reviews.14oz steak is $79 plus tax . The taste is not fancy . They paid google reviews and overpriced to its customers which is silly. It s not luxury restaurant and you will see it .
Very not impressed with the way the restaurant is run. I would rather watch Steven Speilbergs Munich than come back here again.
Waste money and waste food
REALLY BAD SERVICE FOR THE PRICES!!!
High prices and low quality, not the best combo, wont be returning
Incredible food and atmosphere at Prime on Avenue. Best of its kind. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious. Would highly recommend the pulled brisket tacos, cauliflower, herb and nut salad along with the smoked beef ribs!!!
What a wonderful night out! The food was delicious and the service was friendly, informative and attentive without being over bearing. We all had a great time and were looking forward to going back again soon!
Absolutely love this place! The food is delicious and the service is exceptional. Great ambiance and delicious steak.
My wife and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Prime last week I for sure will not wait a year to go again. Luckily my birthday is next month.
Great food and great service.
My experience at prime on avenue was outstanding. Food and service was exceptional. Will definitely go back!
Amazing staff and great atmosphere!
Amazing steaks, great service.
Greatest steak in Toronto, service was amazing! Look forward to going there again.
I was curious why this restaurant has only 1 and 5 star reviews and I now understand why. As a steakhouse, it is just awful. 1 star would be my review. They wont even cook rare which is how I eat it. Only medium rare and up. We ordered the filet, which BTW wasnt like a filet at a traditional steakhouse. It was about 3.4 thick. They refused to use garlic butter when I was asked which sauce/topping Id like. Seriously...no garlic butter? When the steak came it was barely edible. It was way overcooked. Tough. Flavourless. It was four of us, and we barely ate any of the steak. My youngest sons steak was coated heavily with pepper and I was just gobsmacked that for a kids steak that they would season it like that. We had to scrape it clean. Ive not been to a steakhouse that ever tried to serve a small kid a steak like that. Just no common sense. We also ordered the BBQ platter which was good. 4/5 for what it was. Particularly the beef ribs. However, for a BBQ platter not to have pork was when I figured out that the place was I assume Kosher, which is fine and I dont mind that if Im planning to go for deli food and want a corned beef, but I was there for what I thought was going to be traditional steak and BBQ. I didnt see that the restaurant advertised itself as a Kosher restaurant. I probably wouldnt have anticipated that could make a difference to the food and may have gone anyway. In the future, after this experience I probably would appreciate knowing that it is Kosher and what that means to my choices. The wine list was sub par for a steak house. As in half a page, most of which was the house wine. Seeing zero that appealed to me I ordered none. The price was comparable to a traditional steak house like a Mortons or Ruths Chris. Without alcohol for 4 people (2 adults and 2 kids) it was $430 and we left about half of the food because it was not good enough to eat fresh let alone as leftovers. Service was ok. Neither bad nor great. Wed never go back except for maybe take out of the beef ribs which were good. If you are going to pay this price, the food should be all around great, and the service to match, and have options of a decent wine list. I can fully appreciate the 1 ratings and why they are here if you think this is a steak house, which really...it isnt. The 5 star ratings are inexplicable to me unless A) the ratings are faked and/or B) the people rating the steaks here have not been to a real steak house or even prepared a decent steak at home. Maybe it has something to do with it being kosher but I have no idea if that makes any difference at all. If you like steak, this is not a place to go even if they gave the steak away for free.
Prime on Avenue is the place to go if your looking for a delicious, kosher, fine-dining experience with a great selection of steaks, sides and alcoholic beverages.
Surprised by the harsh reviews, i thought it was a pretty solid place. Being a steakhouse, i understand the competition is heavy; how can you compete with Mortons, michaels, stk or even the keg! But for what it was it was great. Our server, Marcus, gave good service, and the food was surprisingly good! Bbq platter to start which was great! Caesar salad wasnt very good. Had the rib steak as the main, thinner than expected but cooked and seasoned perfect! Decor and atmosphere was very nice! Deffinatley overpriced for what we got but overall a good experience; not outta this world, but would probably go back! Thanks Adam Divine (marcus).
Good food, spotty service and a bit overpriced.
Excellent ambiance, service and of course food! Reasonably priced as well.
Had a great dinner with incredible service
You have to know what to order. But still very expensive
Best steak Ive had in a long time, good for casual and business dinners
Poor service. Over-priced. Mediocre food.
Excellent food.
The food and presentation were excellent. The staff was very friendly and effecient Ambience was lovely We enjoyed our meals and left very happy.
The best fine dining in North America; better than wolf and lamb in ny and shallots in Chicago, steak was amazing, soup incredible. I have worked in the business for over 10 years and this is a top three bar none.
My first time in the restaurant was in a company party, and I really loved the food. We decided to come back to the restaurant with family that came from Paris. The waitress was really nice but - the service was slow I order the Carpaccio as a starter and when the waitress asked how was it I mentioned that I had better, and she didnt care so much. My husband had one of the smoked meals, and at the end of the meal he mentioned to her that it wasnt good and didnt fell from the bone as it should... she just said that she realized that he didnt liked it so much and if he would have said something earlier she would have replaced his order. Just because my first experience here was a good one Im still willing to give the restaurant a chance ...
Excellent food, very flavourful and delicious! The staff were also excellent and friendly. Highly recommend!
good portions i wish they had pictures of what they are serving so you know what to expect instead of ordering lamb chops and getting lanb ball pot soup pie stick to steak
Appetizers, main course, desserts all WONDERFUL. High quality food, great service, absolutely delish
Food is very good...to the point that I am planning my wedding ... it is an. AMAZING EATS...try everything... its all good and if you have a chance, meet the awesome head chef.. he is great ... Lastly. If you need something taken care of.. I.e. event. Etc... Arthur is the main man who runs the show. Thank you again to the whole staff for a lovely evening
Best steak I ever had.
This is the most exceptional restaurant experience that Ive ever had in Toronto. The atmosphere is great, both times we went it was full but each table still manages to feel intimate and it isnt too loud that you cant carry on a conversation. The staff are attentive, helpful, and quick to bring whatever you need. The food is next level...the pulled beef flatbread is an absolute must. My husband and I have ordered different meals each time and they were all great. Yes, it is a bit pricier but you do get what you pay for. Finally someone brought a NYC quality restaurant to the Toronto kosher scene!
Atrociously expensive
Nice ambience, food is delicious, generous portions. Good service.
We had great and quick service. Food was amazing and not overpriced. Many dishes and drinks that are not offered by other kosher restaurants, making it a unique place to visit. Great atmosphere!
great steak and ribs.
Beautiful restaurant!
excellent excellent quality
Great food, great service
The ribs and steak are amazing. The appetizers are outstanding. Great atmosphere and service was good. Not a cheap dinner but the quality is worth it.
Great food, so, so, so expensive.
Shlomo, Staff, service, food etc.... Awesome as always!!! Thank you
Excellent food but very pricey
Superb food and service
Great food and great service
Fantastic food and excellent, friendly service! We had the chicken ceasar salad and the prime burger.
