The Octagon in Thornhill

Octagon Steakhouse is absolutely phenomenal! From the moment you step in, youre greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere and top-notch service. The steaks are cooked to perfection juicy, flavorful, and exactly how you order them. Their sides and appetizers are just as impressive, with a great variety to suit every taste. The wine selection is excellent, and the staff is always ready to help you find the perfect pairing. Whether its a special occasion or just a night out, Octagon delivers an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommend!

The steak was very good , but the ambience was not good , too noisy , so many staff but running , to certain people ,the desert was disappointing for the price , expected a lot more , overall, for the service and food too expensive!

Food

This was our first time here and it was amazing! The service was impeccable, and the food was to die for. Ceasar salad...best Ive ever had and prepared tableside!!!!!! Great place to celebrate our anniversary....definitely will go back again. .. Food

Impeccable service, gorgeous decor, and the food was just exquisite. Highly recommend this place.

This is our first visit to your restaurant. There were no issues with the food, but the quality of service was very disappointing. We are dining at a restaurant where the bill exceeds three figures, not at a fast-food place. When we sat down, it seemed like every staff member did not want to make eye contact and just stood in one spot, even though there were only three or four tables of customers at the time .

lovely little gem in the heart of thornhill. the octagon has been a staple here for steak the past few decades. food: overall, great. steak is unbeatable and delicious. wish they didn t serve the same size side for the small steak vs the bigger one, doesn t even make sense. the caesar salad they make right in front of you is superb. it s a bit different every time though, sometimes can lack flavouring. garlic bread is obviously great too, but not extraordinary. it lacks the fine dining aspects of amuse bouche between courses, you just get a tray of olives pickles and peppers as soon as you sit (and they re not particularly great). service: i almost didn t come recently because when i called and spoke to the host, the guy was extremely rude. seriously i don t know what he was so pissed about that day. his attitude was beyond uncalled for. when i saw him in person, he was much nicer. our server was exceptional thankfully. the somellier was also nice but not memorable. atmosphere: tons of parking available. the building is literally an octagon and the stained glass is so beautiful. it s very open concept but they also have private rooms. very beautiful inside and out. for the price of fine dining, one might expect more. i prefer Terra down the street. edit: owners response made me drop a star. saying he s just like that is no excuse for an employee s crass attitude. this is fine dining.

First time at The Octagon. Ill be honest, for a well known Steakhouse that has been around for some time, experience was not the greatest. Food was good, but the service was just underwhelming. Our waiter never introduced himself, didnt ask if we were celebrating anything and just short with conversation. He was a seasoned team member. Maybe cause we look young and thought we wouldnt drop money but we know and have been to many steakhouses in the GTA and our experience was night and day. We didnt get a thank you or Enjoy the rest of your evening until the waiter left saw his tip and then came back to wish us a good evening. We tip well, even though he didnt deserve it, but we know the work it goes into being a server in high end restaurants. Maybe it was an off night for him, but our anniversary experience fell short. Food was good, my salad was heavily dressed and nothing special. I probably would not come back again. I would rather spend my money elsewhere where we feel welcomed and complete the whole dining experience. Dont get me wrong, this steakhouse is not bad, just has some areas of opportunity for customer service.

We recently visited this long-established restaurant, drawn by its reputation. However, our experience was poor. Upon arrival, there was no formal greeting, and we didn t feel the welcoming rapport you d expect from a high-end establishment. The service was inconsistent; some staff members were indifferent, and a few interactions even came across as dismissive. As for the food, several dishes lacked the depth of flavor we anticipated. For the price point, we had hoped for a more memorable culinary experience. In comparison, steakhouses in Toronto like Jacob s, BlueBlood, and Morton s offer not only a more attentive service but also a more satisfying dining experience overall. This restaurant has potential, but there s significant room for improvement in both service and food to truly stand out among its competitors.

I attended The Octagon on Saturday September 28th to celebrate a Birthday. I have been to the Octagon many times in the past for lunches, dinners and Christmas Parties. It has been close to 4 years since I had been back but was really looking forward to coming back because I always enjoyed it there. Im not sure what has happened but things are very different now and our whole party agreed. The atmosphere was absolutely terrible. The staff that greets and sits you was fine. The waitstaff was horrible. They all seem very angry and not friendly or welcoming at all. They got some of my order wrong including missing items. They also come off a little stuck up and seemed condescending. The gentleman who fills up the water and busses the table was the only friendly and attentive staff member on the service side. In terms of the food we all had the table side Caesar salad, only 1 out of 5 liked it, everyone else stated it was too garlicy. The steak was good but in my opinion not worth the price tag compared to other steak houses. As mentioned before they did forget part of the order. Bottom line NOT HAPPY!!! I would not recommend.

The service is impeccable. The food is perfect, size of the portion is spot on l. I had the steak perfectly cooked.

Had a great evening, the food was amazing and the vibe was perfect. Our server George was the best, absolutely amazing guy and made our night that much better. You ll be very lucky if he is your server. Thank you George!!!

Great Atmosphere. Service and Food incredibly below expectations Worst steakhouse experience i have ever had. Not going back to this place again.

My lovely Puerto Rican boitoi Heratio and his special friend from the philippines Beezil treated me to a third wheel wylin out. After our intense multi-national shindig we got steak. It was lovely.

everything about this place except the acoustics. You can hear too many conversations from other tables. Theres nothing to bounce the sound off. Our waiter, a mature gentleman, tall, slim, white hair..Great service. I mature wait staff. They know how to take care of people.

My wife and I had dinner at the Octagon last evening and it was excellent! The food was cooked perfectly - I had the filet mignon and my wife the salmon - the service was top notch - Paul and Dumitru were friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and professional! We will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

Great food ,beautiful restaurant and most important ....amazing staff ! First time there will definately return !

Why do the salads look as if they were made by a 5yo kid? I was going to go here, looked at the photos and the menu and changed my mind. Please take some more pride in your food, improve the presentation. At this $400-$500 price range you could go to a Michelin star restaurant with service that would knock your socks off.

Great food great service

The Octagon was an excellent experience! I have been to the Octagon 10 times to be exact and i have never once been disappointed. The food is exceptional, the ambience is everything and the service is 100%. I will keep going back to the Octagon Steakhouse !

Service was remarkable! And the food excellent The shrimp cocktail is a must.

Food was super delicious, and considering the quality, the pricing is more than fair. Service was excellent, fast and attentive. Will definitely be back. Parking: Plenty of parking (big parking lot) Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is ground level with no steps.

I ordered chateaubriand steak at The Octagon, and this is the BEST in Totonto GTA so far (reminded me one of the best steakhouses in London, UK, Gaucho Richmond restaurant). Octagon serves the best meat, is tender and juicy, comes in a good portion, and has reasonable prices as well. Nevertheless, the service and servers are excellent. I felt a good vibe diversity. About two months ago, I went to Blue Black steakhouse at 130 King St W, and I dont recommend anyone to go there. They might have a fancy place, but the steaks are no good, dont cook properly, and it seems like they only hired a certain group of people to be their waiters. No good.

Best steak house in Thornhill. It has a very nice traditional vibe and most importantly, the steaks are absolutely delicious. They also have the best coconut cream pie in the city as well and their Ceasar salad made fresh by your table side is to die for

Creme brulee was lovely. The steak was off the plate delicious.

Definitely a hidden gem, an old school steakhouse with beautiful decor. The Octagon logo on the steak knives are a great touch as well as the golf tees. Our waiter was attentive and would check on us at the best time. We had ordered the Rib Steak - Bone In and the Prime Rib - Octagon cut which were cooked to perfection. The Crème Brûlée was also amazing.

Good

The Octagon Steakhouse offers an exceptional dining experience with its perfectly cooked steaks, elegant ambiance, and attentive service. The menu is focused on quality, featuring tender cuts of meat that are expertly prepared, along with delicious sides like truffle mac and cheese. The atmosphere is inviting, making it a great spot for both special occasions and casual dinners. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, ensuring a memorable meal from start to finish.

Enjoyed my dinner

I ve dined here from time to time and enjoyed the food and atmosphere, service was never consistent, some times I received excellent service and very few time I received unpleasant service. Menu options are great. Good steak options Love the French onion soup. Love the steaks. But the hearted chicken is not my favourite, besides who orders anything other than steak in a steak focused restaurant? Last time I was there I felt that our table was rushed to order. Dessert options are good but it can be better.

We had such a great night yesterday.Tasty food, dessert and appetizer. In my sight all the staff was so hospitable and kind. Also, so professional.

My husband and I went to the Octagon for date night for the first time.. everything was just perfect. Service was great, the gentleman that served us always making sure we were good. The food was PERFECT, my filet mignon was delicious and my husbands lamb chops were very well done.. dessert and espresso delicious. We cant wait to go back!

Husband and I went here for our post-wedding dinner. For appetizers, husband ordered the lobster bisque and it was absolutely delicious! I got the crab cakes and they were also pretty good. For our mains we both got steaks - the steaks were amazing! Definitely the highlight of our meal. Well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed my garlic mash but my husband s fries came out later than his steak so he couldn t enjoy it. He ended up not eating much of it The service was okay. Everyone was nice but we didn t really feel welcomed or it didn t feel warm (not sure if that makes sense). The servers were looking around the room whenever they were taking our orders or asked us if everything was okay. They all looked distracted and distant. Will likely not come back again but it was an okay experience. Glad to have tried it!

Fantastic

Modest but tasteful

The atmosphere is very old school. Service was top notch. My steak was a bit meh, I dont think they had seasoned it.

Amazing food. Amazing service. (not trying to be funny) but I only have one complaint: 1 ply toilet paper?!?!? Are you forreal? 100 dollar steaks and you have 1 ply in the toilet? My *** still hurts from that. Great steak though , but if duty calls youre not gonna have a good time.

Food is so good but I don t like the atmosphere

The service was unbelievable the food was excellent service surface was polite and I would give it 100% my daughter took her father and her husband for Fathers Day so I dont know how much she spent but I can tell you it was all worth it

cozy, fancy, old-fashioned place

I came here with my family to celebrate after my law school graduation. Food was amazing, steak was great, service was good but not great. As someone here said earlier, the server seemed a bit distracted and I didn t feel as welcomed. It was still okay, service wise. If they were a lot friendlier this definitely would be 5 stars all around!

I came last night for dinner. The food was fine but I was very disappointed with the portions. I ordered the caprese salad ($18). There was only two slices of tomatoes, 2 slices of buffalo mozzarella and lettuce on the plate. I also ordered the lamb chops ($67). There was only 4 chops on the plate. The portion sizes for the price was my only issue. Other than that, the service and taste was great. I was just disappointed with the portion sizes.

pretty expensive, high quality food. Be ready to spend and a great place to go to when taking a love one.

Really cool place. Mahogany, stained glass. Excellent service. Drinks, food all very much world class. If I had to quibble with something, it would be the wine by the glass selection, which was ridiculously poor. Also, in a place like this, Id expect my wine to come to the table in its original bottle and to be poured into a glass that doesnt look like it came from Walmart.

THE GARLIC BREAD LOOKED AND SMELLED DELICIOUS HOWEVER, I WAS NOT ABLE TO ENJOY IT. THEY DONT MAKE IT IN HOUSE..YOU WOULD THINK EVEN IF NOT MADE IN HOUSE, THEY WOULD HAVE AN INGREDIENT LIST FOR ALLERGENS. I HAD THE LAMB...COOKED TO PERFECTION MY HUSBAND HAD THE MERMAID PLATE...HE SAID THE SCALLOPS WERE SOFT AND DELICIOUS..STEAK WAS AMAZING, HUGE SHRIMPS AND CRAB WERE PERFECT. IF THERE WAS ANYTHING WE WOULD CHANGE IS MY HUSBAND FOUND THE GARLIC BREAD A LITTLE GREASY AND THE GARLIC MASH...TOO GARLICKY AND POTATOES TOO LUMPY. FIRST CLASS SERVICE. VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. Dietary restrictions: THE OCTAGON RESPONDED ABOUT THE GARLIC BREAD BEING MADE IN HOUSE...THE ACTUAL BREAD IS BROUGHT IN FROM A LOCAL BAKERY, THEY USE THE BREAD FROM OUTSIDE SUPPLIER TO MAKE THE GARLIC BREAD. I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD HAVE A LIST OF ALLERGENS FOR ITEMS THAT ARE BROUGHT IN HOUSE FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE... JUST FOR CUSTOMER SAFTEY

This place will soon be gone and I won t miss it $200 tip for nothing. The food isn t as good as it used to be this place is not what it used to be.

The lobster was overdone, but everyone took care of us quickly and easily at the same time:) similar to the keg. Would probably go to the keg next time instead of driving from barrie!

This place should be on the MICHELIN list... everything about this place is 5 star its simply the best Greek

Great place for fine dining.

The absolute cheapest quality steakhouse I have ever been to. Bread was clearly store bought and then tossed in oil and heated up. Clam chowder had absolutely no clams in it. Steaks were overcooked and had very little flavor. Lobster was rubber, mashed potatoes looked and had the texture of clay and looked like it was scooped out with an ice cream scoop. Dont know if this was just an off day ot what but everything was extremely disappointing.

For the price point, the food was not what I expected. The steak came out super rare when we asked for medium rare, and our plates were saturated in liquid. While everything tasted fine, and I enjoyed the mushrooms, it was not worth the price point. I expected more memorable and seasoned food.

Amazing food, outstanding service, great experience. Must visit it!

Besides jacob, this is the only other table side Caesar salad in Toronto. Their recipe is slightly different but good nonetheless. Steak is on point and done however you like with precision. Premium price for the premium service, upscale food, and beautiful decor, but also save you the agonizing traffic to downtown. Recommend the table side salad if youve never tried it.

I felt like I was at Me Va Me instantly because of the pickles n olives that they brought out. We ordered two New York strips, medium and medium rare but ours steaks were still mooing. The steak got cold fast because the plates aren t warmed up properly. Once the steak was cold it was game over, just eating a cold bloody mess. The steaks came with mushrooms that were very poorly seasoned and cooked. It was a disgusting, I almost felt sick when I was done eating. I requested French fries which weren t French fries but whatever they were it was decent. My fiancé mashed potatoes just tasted like garlic. We took one bite each and were done with it lol. Paying $300 for 2 people and the garlic bread being the best thing served is not the way a business should be ran. We requested the bill and the guy disappeared for about 30 minutes, he was a nice guy but I m not sure what that was all about. They weren t even busy. Overall it comes down to the food and I don t think this cook knows which way is up. The most disappointing part was taking my fiancé to a poor dinner for her birthday.

Overall I was not impressed. The meal had no presentation. The server was obviously new because he didn t always serve the right dish to the proper person. For the price I expect better. Parking: Valet parking is available

Tastes great but almost no presentation

Love this place. Took my daughters there tonight for my one daughters 40th birthday, It was their first time. They loved it. I have been there a few times but havent been in the last 7 years. It has never disappointed. Service is impeccable and iit as just as I remebered it to be. Still a beautiful place.

Parking: Complimentary valet Food

The food presentation is mediocre. Shrimp with sand, ice cream with actual ice. I asked for water with no ice but refills with ice, they could offer warm water. Any The Keg would serve a better steak for 1/4 the price, but if you want a nice place with excellent meat choices I recommend Jacobs & Co. And if you want to look at stained glass you better go to a museum.

The steak is probably one of the best in GTA. The service is superb. The staff are experienced and welcoming. Parking: The parking lot is packed. We were lucky to find a spot, as someone left a few seconds after we entered.

Good food!

My wife and I shared the chateaubriand, and it was cooked to perfection, while my in-laws shared the porterhouse which was also delicious. Parking: There is a free parking lot on site, with overflow parking at nearby lots. They also offer valet parking.

My medium rare filet mignon was prepared perfectly. The garlic bread is amazing. The service is old school and appreciated.

Very good food ,service but I think a bit expensive

High-end dining. Great for that special occasion.

Wonderful steaks. Liberal garlic. An absolute classic steak house.

Eisan is the best guy there! Amazing personality, service, and all around an excellent gentleman. Made our experience pleasant. Well be back soon. Thank you

As always perfect place for perfect stake

I was a regular 20 years ago. Took a friend for her birthday on a Tuesday in November. We ordered appetizers. The taste of the food was very dissapointing, so we skipped ordering dinner and left. Its still beautiful inside.

Ok food, a bit over priced. Atmosphere is nice.

Always an upscale experience. Sure its pricey but you get what you pay for. Great service. Awesome food and tremendous ambience. The place to go in Thornhill. Parking: Valet parking

Definitely go for the steak. We had a good surprise with cod (off menu) that night as well. Make sure you save room for the dessert!

Came here for new years eve. Classic old fashioned steakhouse with phenomenal service. A true timeless establishment.

A good old school restaurant with class. Just like the mafias like it!

$$$$-Elegant white-glove dinning. Located on Yonge just North of Steeles. from The moment you arrive you Are greeted by the valet, Once inside and your coat is checked, you are greeted and shown to your table. White linen and silver sparkle as you are presented a huge leather bound menu to choose from a variety of the chefs favourites and classics. Warm lighting, wood finishes and Stain glass windows sets the romantic mood when you enter the dinning room of the Octagon. Have a celebration coming up? Or if you are ready to pop the question this is the perfect place to do it.

Great food and service. Highly recommend to everyone

So I had high expectations but very disappointed. Did not expect the Caesar salad to cost $50 / two people and the seafood platter for two was $275!!!! That is ludicrous! ( the price was hidden only indicating market value) The rest of the food was mediocre at best. The waiter purposely forgot to ask me what I wanted so my hubbie had to speak up on my behalf and after paying over $800 for 4 adults and two kids the waiters hovered around our table making us feel like we had to leave and it was about an hour and 45 mins. I can understand if it was at a cheap food restauarant and the turnover is high but not at a high-end steak house. Totally uncalled for. Im literally in a state of shock.

Consistently amazing for 35 years of attending

A good choice for a classic steakhouse in the GTA, But with the limited options on the menu and not-too-generous portions, you might find better options in the area. Service is top-notch, with a nice classic and cozy vibe!

The restaurant is octagon shaped, which I find really cool. The meals were delicious, however side presentations could have been better. Having one scoop of mashed potato on a separate plate looked very cheap. Other than that, great experience.

What a fabulous dinner. Loved every bit of it. A great atmosphere makes for a great dinner.

Feels like you are in someones grandma house (not in a good way).Old and dusty....horrible carpets ....our server was so old that I felt uncomfortable to take his service. Food and a menu are... average... salad was made from the cheapest ingredients....Everything is outdated.....decor, food,plates....If you are 65 and younger...its not your place .... And It was expensive for no reason.

Pricier than what it should be for the food quality, but they treat you like a king.

Did not like the ambience - felt in church . Food quality quite average for the price . Gave three stars for the amazing staff and fast service .

Tasteless

The Octagon Steakhouse in Thornhill surpasses expectations with exceptional service. Their bone-in rib steak is an absolute delight, reaching the pinnacle of excellence. A must-visit for steak enthusiasts!

Our first visit here. Beautiful decor - lovely wood and glass throughout. Outstanding food - I had the house salad and the 8oz filet mignon steak with rice. My companion had the onion soup and lobster tail. We finished with the tiramisu. Overall, excellent service. Drinks, appetizers and main meal served on time - just a short delay getting a coffe after the meal. Pricey but a very special treat!

Usually an excellent steakhouse....New Years Eve maybe they dont have their best staff on. Our appetizer came burnt. Service was spotty. Not the usual impeccable service and food I am used to. I recommend Octagon whole heatedly....just dont go on major holidays....

What an amazing place, food, service and attentive staff. Being disabled sometimes doesn t allow me to be comfortable in certain restaurants or staff don t know how to assist me. The Octagon, from the moment we called to make reservations till the moment we left the restaurant we received nothing but professional service. The food was cooked to perfection and all ingredients were fresh. We will be returning to the Octagon. Wheelchair accessibility: Even though it s a tight fit, it is accessible and staff will accommodate as much as they can.

Service was outstanding and so was are meal.

I think the service and the food was just OK and the scallop personally, I think don t it worth for $60, i excepted big and juicy scallops but this is so dry and salty.. really not recommend

Havent been here in a while but love the food and service itd always top notch, what a classic

This is a good place for a good steak. I have to say that dishware was below my expectation. We had a porterhouse for main. Good quality and well cooked to our order. We didnt get the salad but appetizers we got were not special, I would stick to the salad next time. We went there for my birthday with my wife, she informed them, they brought a not-so-exciting small cake that we saw it on the bill too. If they had told us that wed probably ordered a proper desert instead but we didnt let that get in the way of a good evening.

Weve been coming here for years at least two to three times a year for birthday and anniversary celebrations. The food and service are out of this world. The BEST restaurant in Ontario.

Beautiful restaurant, wonderful service, amazing food!! Constantine was our serviceman for the night, and he was absolutely delightful We paid what might seem to be a lot because we ordered a lot along with a bottle of red wine. I highly recommend The Octagon

5 for everything, last time I visited it was 20 something years ago. Quality is still top notch.

Excellent experience at The Octagon. Most steak houses I visit, either over salt or over butter the steak, but this steak (rib eye) was perfect - seasoning and cook wise. The garlic mash and mushrooms were flavourful. Make sure to end the night off with a smooth, chilled shot of Limoncello.

Old world steak house with ok food. Service was good and the table side Cesar salad was amazing. I ordered the black cod which was their special for the evening. It was very good but small My friend ordered the steak and he wasn t amused. It was ok but we expected great. The steak wasn t flavourful as we expected. It s never a good thing to ask for pepper and salt.

Birthday dinner with friends. Ordered the ceasar salad that they make at the table. Normally its like a presentation at the table but the waiter was in a rush so... no good. It was also on the sour side. We did family style at Harbour 60 a couple weeks ago and like it so we asked if they did it here and they said yes np. The steaks came and none of the were sliced? and they brought out the side dishes in individual plates. So i guess they dont do family style. To be fair the steaks were cooked properly and they tasted good along with the garlic bread and pickles.

The Octagon is what you want if you are looking for an old-school steakhouse. Great food, service, and atmosphere. Prices are comparable to similar venues.

Best steak I have had.

A bit outdated restaurant

A very enjoyable and personable atmosphere with utmost topnotch service.The food was exquisite and absolutely delicious.

Its becoming rare to find places like this. A real classy restaurant with a flavour

I really like coming here for special occasions or a nice meal before my Masonic events nearby. Octagon has superb food, and service, and the atmosphere is great. I ve been to places like Harbour 60, Ruth Chris, and Morton s, and The Octagon is 5 Stars beside them. Thanks everyone.

The service and food are top notch. Highly recommend. Call in advance for reservations. Very friendly and lots to choose from. Be prepared to eat and be spoiled.

Very expensive!!! Prices have soared!

On September 23, 2023, I went to dine in this Western restaurant. The environment and decoration were very good, the service attitude was good, and the food was delicious!

Great spot. Steaks were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend

First rate,, excellent service , quality and great tasting meal.

Went as a large group. Stuck us in a storage room up stairs where they didnt properly serve the food and only showed up when they felt like it. Waiters were snooty a-holes who refused to address our concerns. I appreciate Octagon responding and asking for an email with further information. However, I dont have their email, so here it is: we were there 5 years ago on Christmas Eve for my mothers 70th birthday. She wasnt happy with her food but the staff there couldnt have cared less. This year she will be turning 75 but I would rather go to McDonalds for her birthday than to the Octagon. If someone is there with a large group celebrating her 70th birthday and she says she is not happy with her food, do something about it!!!! In addition to the attached receipt they added 20% mandatory gratuity, after telling her to get stuffed when she complained about her food. And yes, Im still bitter.

One of the oldest fine dining Steak and Seafood place. To start with they serve warm toasted bread, olives, and pickles. The house salad is made in front of you fresh and delicious. My favorites are lobester and steak. Must try their desserts which is out of the world. The ambiance with give a nice warm rustic feel. Great for dinning in for couples, family and business meeting.

I thought the food would be better. I may have had high expectations for this restaurant, but I went to the keg 2 weeks ago and my steak tasted better there. Went with a group of 10. Enjoyed how they make the salad in front of you and the Spanish coffee after dinner. Had to wait for a waiter a couple of times to get new drinks. I was surprised at how expensive it was for the market value seafood. In particular the crab legs and lobster tail when we got our bill. One of my friends loves baked potatoes and was disappointed with his. He didn t eat it. All in all, it was an experience. Everyone had been wanting to try the restaurant for a long time but personally I don t think it was worth the price we paid.

Classy place. Steak was perfectly cooked to my liking and the service and attention to detail is definitely above average. Table side Caesar salad is a nice touch

I ve been wanting to try this spot for a while, but unfortunately it was a miss for me. The service was top notch, but the food could me improved. The Beet Salad salad was delicious but the presentation was off putting. The garlic mash potato and the fillet mignon was a bit dry. The crème brûlée was delicious.

Everything was perfect! Parking: Valet takes care of everything. Food : 5/5 |

Wonderful ambience, delicious food, impeccable service

A unique restaurant famous for steak. Upscale decor. Experienced and attentive wait staff. Celebrating 50 years in 2024. Parking: Parking lot adjacent to restaurant.

Amazing service and incredible atmosphere. The steaks we ordered were cooked to perfection. One critique: the beet salad and mashed potatoes we ordered as a side was a little underwhelming considering the price

what an excellent place, went with family the staff were attentive and quick i had the 12oz fillet mignon and it was out of this world amazing they made the salad right in front of us and it was delicious the apps and desert were amazing as well highly recommend this place

Great food and atmosphere!!

The food is not good (old fashioned) The service is okay The atmosphere is very nice Not worth the money Food : 1/5 |

Amazing people Kid-friendliness: Great hospitality Wheelchair accessibility: Yes my dad had wheelchair access and We Dine perfectly lots of room.

Nice over all and some dishes are pricy

Ive come here many times with my family and my experience has always been fantastic. The waitors\waitresses are friendly and helpful when questions arose about the menu. The food was absolutely delicious as well! Well defintely be coming back again soon.

Old school....Never disappoints

Taste is normal price is very high.

I am wondering why it was so expensive! For what!!?? Taste was normal. One small amount of food for one hundred dollars I never ever go there.

I have no words. Feel bad for anyone having the displeasure of eating here. Food was cold and flavourless. Staff was very inconsiderate. Staff assumed the name of my reservation without asking me -seemed like they were stereotyping

Great food and wine selection! Tableside Ceasar salad was amazing and also their NY striploin

Rude behavior of waiters, They are showing attitude .

The service was impeccable, the staff were amazing and very helpful. We were not rushed at the table and enjoyed the experience totally. It was a birthday dinner for a special friend the recommendations were perfect the steak was cooked to perfection and my friend felt like a queen thank you again we will return

Fantastic ceasar salad, accomodating all food preferences in our party. Chateaubriand cooked perfectly and tasted great. Thank you.

Great place to go for a steak. Service was excellent from the moment you step into the place until you leave. Highly recommend trying this place for a perfect night out. Had the steak and lobster and it was cooked to perfection.

We held a meeting here. The staff and food was great

Beautiful place, great food and amazing service! Jimmy was the best

Great steak place in Thornhill. Old school. Great service.

The staff infrequently came to see how we were doing with our meals, specifically to fill up our water glasses. Additionally, when asking to separate the bill, for what was clearly a party of individuals, they were unwilling to. It was not as though we were 10 to 20 people, we were less than that. Overall, the food was okay but I expected more or a place like this.

The parking lot was full and the first indication that the food must be good here. So I parked in the back of the building. It is a very interesting place, the atmosphere is mahogany panelled, old world style with stained glass ceilings. You can have open air seated dining or a private room for you and your guests. Chaise with high backs are very comfortable. Service was excellent from coat check to waiters to maitre-di were all very professional. Much better than anywhere else. The food was a little slow coming from the kitchen, probably from the volume of guests its expected. Thats your opportunity to try some hordeuvres like the colossal shrimps, bread, cheese, and pickles. The salad was a real salad, and a well balanced taste. The main course was cooked to perfection, only I expected more spice to the steak and they were willing to oblige, but you had to ask for it, with their made-in-house peppercorn sauce. The desserts were heavy and gave me indigestion so for this reason I do not recommend them. I often gauge a restaurant by how well the food sits in my stomach a couple of hours later, and I felt uncomfortable. Its still a five star restaurant, would I come back again? Definitely yes, and skip the desserts!

Unfortunately not the best experience this time love the rib steak been goin for years . When I asked the short waiter who seems from the sopranos for just a few pieces of asparagus done in butter since I m on a restricted diet he refused and told me it would be an extra charge that request was never a problem for Jimmy or Billy and the bill was 700 dollars for four people . Perplexing to me .They would worry about a half a cup of asparagus steak was also a bit over done .but I will lick my wounds and be back in the new year .

Overpriced

Our experience at the restaurant was subpar. The servers were notably absent, and their behavior included pushing when passing by. The overall noise level made conversation difficult. Moreover, there was a discernible sense of discrimination, as if being young was a disqualifying factor for service. Its disheartening that age seemed to affect the quality of service. Given these issues, the high price doesnt align with the overall experience. Improvement in service and a more inclusive atmosphere would greatly benefit the establishment.

where to begin: I had to often yell to talk to my friends as it was so loud, they couldn t make the coffee at the table side as it was too crowded (table side is part of the experience we are paying for?), the server never came over once to ask if everything was okay or if anything was needed- only someone who looked like the manager came over and asked after they saw me looking around, otherwise, I had to raise my hand to get the server s attention (which I think is rude to do), I asked the server twice for takeout containers that were forgotten, the table wasn t cleaned between courses being served and was noticeably needing some attention by dessert, I would recommend the clam chowder, the chicken was great, the Caesar salad too. The food in general was not bad, just the service issues. I did like the booths in the dining room - that is a nice touch and it felt more personal with friends. I was hoping there would be wonderful interior decorations for the holidays like Blueblood or David Duncan house but there was nothing. I felt like it wasn t a nice holiday meal destination. A close family friend went to the octagon for years and while they passed recently, I wanted to visit their favourite place. This was my first and last time visiting the octagon. Parking: There were a lot of occupied parking spaces but no issues finding a spot.
