Prime Seafood Palace in Toronto

We had a great experience. The food and the service was fantastic. Well worth it. We look forward to our next visit.

Went here for our engagement dinner and was thoroughly disappointed. Although the food was good, it was not worth the money or the atmosphere. There was pretty much no service or attention to taking care of the people wanting to dine there. No smiles or genuine interest to understand our needs. Felt like people were being forced to work there. Unless you know someone there or are an influencer, don t waste your time or money here. So many better locals spots in Toronto for great food and service.

The food here is spectacular. The kitchen is efficient professional and precise. Very interesting adaptations of some traditional dishes. Vegetarian options: Many options available. Dietary restrictions: There were options for dietary restrictions. The staff were very accommodating upon request.

Best restaurant in the city! Katherine was amazing and made some wonderful recommendations

We had reservations for two seats at the bar but were called and told they have a table for us for the same time, 8:30pm. We arrive on time and were told that our table would be ready for 15-20 minutes and to take a seat at the bar. Upgrade downgrade thanks Prime Seafood Palace! No offer for a complimentary bevvie due to their screw up. Just a very extensive and expensive wine list! Why would you offer me a table (the timing of availability is dictated by the service pace not the guests) and when it s not ready for my reservation that you offered me, relegate me back to the bar with no comps?! Service fail! $40 for a 5oz glass of wine and watching the sad old dude next to us chow down on $150 fatty prime rib slab at a bar, cutting his meat like Gordon Howe battling for a puck in the corners?! No thanks! Ever heard of under promise and over deliver? Prime Seafood Palace over promised and grossly under delivered! I gave my feedback to the front of house and the manager and we left. They didn t seem to care and the manager tried the age old excuse it was a busy . Ah no, don t bother with that when you charge Michelin star prices with no Michelin stars! And this was your service screw up. Bad taste for Matty s restaurants if this is the dining experience .

Blown away by the food and the staff. My wife and I had visited Bar Clams earlier in the day and told the staff at Clams that we were headed to PSP later that night. When we got to PSP, the staff asked what we thought of Bar Clams and thanked us for visiting their other restaurant earlier. They also sent us a glass of wine each and the palace bacon. They went above and beyond, my wife and I were blown away with their attention to detail, warmth and generosity. I don t think I ve had a better restaurant experience. PSP can be considered pricey but the quality of food and the service justify the prices. We got the duck, crudo, kale ravioli, palace bacon, potatoes, salad and chocolate cake. All were just incredible. I can t wait to come back!

Great service and the food was delicious! It is a bit expensive but it s expected from Toronto fine dining!

This michelin recommended restaurant is located a bit inside on the right as soon as you cross the queen st. and shaw st. intersection. The menu is balanced with fantastic seafood, big meats cooked on the grill and serious vegetable preparations. I had the gin fizz cocktail, Prime rib roast (12 oz) with Horseradish on the side and the must try delicious choclate cake for dessert. The overall experience was simply amazing and would strongly recommend this restaurant!

Please DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!! this was such an over rated restaurant...I think its honestly running on the reputation of Matty Matheson who obviously has too many restaurants to keep tabs on quality.... the staff is mediocre at best.... youd get a much better meal at the keg and the staff would be more welcoming....honestly such a fail in this world of over priced experiences...I personally dont mind spending the $ if the food and staff are amazing.... they were absolutely NOT in this place.....:(

The food was great! And the service even better! Would definetly recommend the crudo and the lobster pasta was the best I ve ever had!!

The service was terrible Took over an hour for main Portions are extremely small Very disappointed

Prime Seafood Palace is the only restaurant we have returned to in years and years of restaurant adventures. We try and do something new all the time we travel and just had to come back to Prime Seafood Palace. We made reservations for this past Saturday night about 2 weeks in advance. Not sure if it is always necessary to book that far in advance but maybe for a Saturday and 9pm was the only thing available so I m thinking yes to the need to book well in advance. We were greeted by Sarah (who is an all star by a landslide). I could have had Sarah sit right down with us for our whole dinner and it would have made the experience that much better. The food was phenomenal. Our server was incredible and I feel terrible that I forget her name. She was knowledgeable and personable and didn t even judge us when we doubled down on her suggestion of dish amounts. (She suggested conservatively 4 dishes per couple and we ordered 8). The potatoes are a must. Do not second guess that one. Get the prime rib. Do not bother with the fancy steaks. The prime rib is where it s at. The horseradish was the best I ve ever had. The Yorkshire pudding was HUGE. the fondue was super cute and cool. The steak tartare is one of our favs we ve ever had and we ve had a lot! The cabbage is a must. The only thing I would say we could have passed on was the butternut squash. It was good but maybe not super necessary to be one of our 8 courses. The lobster spaghetti tastes like a super fancy version of old school tuna casserole. So that s a yes for me! And we have a tradition of if the restaurant has 4 or less desserts, getting them all and they had more choices than 4 so we ordered 3 and Sarah brought out 4 anyway and candles lit for my birthday and said we had to even it out with the chocolate cake and that dessert (all 4) was on them which was the sweetest thing and the entire gesture of her as a human and then this made me cry. Anyway. We love this place and will be back again for sure. Oh and it s by far the most masterful piece of art of a restaurant I ve ever seen and just WAIT for the bathroom.

I am a huge fan of Matty. But psp really disappointed me. One word salty can describe everything. We had the caviar, prime rib, lobster and spaghetti and seafood cocktail. Nothing was up to my expectation. But the place is really nice, I can feel the classic vibe and the luxury decoration.

The food was good however I had higher expectations for the price point. The service was extremely slow and inattentive. We were waiting over 2 hours to get our mains. Wine glasses were often empty despite having purchased a bottle. An interesting experience however wouldn t recommend for the cost

Food was over priced with the caviar tasteless Wine was minimally poured Prime Rib was excellent, but overpriced with everything extra, side salad was deconstructed and when integrated was mediocre Flies were were a constant issue showing little care on the staff part to keep the place cleaner. We were expecting more from a Matty Matheson restaurant, but expect this is an issue with the restaurant and not Matty.

Terrible service. Our waiter was to busy drinking wine to serve us new drinks. We had to ask other waiters for drinks and other stuff we needed. The other staff were very friendly and nice to us but it was our specific server that wasn t great. We would have ordered even more drinks and added a bit more food as well if he d bother to check in. The only way this behaviour would be acceptable if it was this man s first day on earth. The food was insane! We loved everything. The crab dip is something I ll dream about and the steak melts in your mouth. The potatoes are really good too and even the steak tartare is one of my favourites in the city. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful!! This would have been a restaurant we visit a couple times a year but a bad waiter can really ruin a meal. The service with everyone else was amazing so I don t even want to say this place has bad service.

Beautiful restaurant but very overpriced for the quality of food & service

You just got a shoutout from actress Lauren Graham while she was on Live with Kelly and Mark!

Food was very underwhelming and thus extremely overpriced. Service was HORRIBLE. It took our party of 5 three and a half hours from sitting down to getting the bill despite finishing each course quickly (we didnt even get our mains until over 2 hours into the meal, we were so hungry by that time). Empty wine glasses waiting and empty drinks. Even after complaining about the slow pace they still took almost 30 minutes to cash out our bill. Very disappointing experience for $800.

Incredible birthday dinner. Absolutely loved the palace potatoes, filet mignon and crudo. My steak was cooked beautifully and the pepper just delicious. I was not a fan of the palace bacon but that is only because I do not like fat on meat. They made me a custom amaretto sour with egg whites and did such a great job.

Prime Seafood Palace, the latest venture from culinary maestro Matty Matheson, is a stunning establishment that seamlessly blends contemporary design with classic comfort. The inviting ambiance, coupled with the innovative seafood and steak centric menu, creates a dining experience that is both satisfying and memorable. The lobster spaghetti is a true standout, its creamy sauce infused with subtle nutty and citrus notes elevating the dish to new heights. Lobster lovers, this is a must try. The gem salad, brightened by a zesty green olive dressing, offers a refreshing palate cleanser. The meat offerings are equally impressive. The filet mignon, bathed in a rich black pepper sauce, is tender and flavourful, while the bone-in strip loin is cooked to perfection. While the service team was attentive, a minor oversight occurred when they failed to inquire about our preferred steak temperature. Fortunately, the medium-rare preparation was spot on. The palace potatoes, crispy and flaky, are a delightful side dish, especially when paired with the fiery chili aioli. Unfortunately, the dessert menu fell short. The rich chocolate cake, while decadent, was a bit too heavy for our taste and this is coming from a chocolate lover. The sorbet, though flavourful, melted rapidly, leaving us questioning the intended texture. Despite this minor hiccup, Seafood Palace offers a truly enjoyable dining experience. The elegant decor, coupled with the delicious food and attentive service, makes it a worthy destination for a special occasion or a celebratory meal.

Everything was so yummy!!

Hands down best service. You have to try the maple tart!! Thank you for your hospitality.

We were able to get a last minute reservation. Our server was attentive and helpful. We tried the lobster pasta and like reviews have noted, it is a small portion; however it was tasty. The palace potatoes were nice and crispy. The Yorkshire pudding is my child s favourite and a hit. We got a prime rib that is put on the fire to char and a tomahawk steak. They tasted similar in the end. Both were nice. Having recently dined at a top international steakhouse in St Tropez we think the steak in St Tropez was better. The inside decor and the washroom are very nice. I had been wanting to try here for a while and finally did but not sure I d be rushing back or be my top choice since it was kind of pricy.

Excellent. Wagyu is a must. Daikon perfect pairing. Update Sept 27 2024. First I have to say the staff where very accommodating. I have eaten here a couple of times and loved it. HOWEVER tonight was a disaster. I invited a very special friend and we both ordered the Wagyu on my recommendation. It came with salt on top but was so salty neither of us could eat it. First cooked with too much salt but then salt dumped on top. Absolutely horrible. My friend returned hers and they made her a new one. Mine I didnt eat. They brought a new one with no salt on top but it was too salty as well. The waiter was shocked that they are putting so much salt on the steak. He said they just started doing that. It doesnt need it. Complimentary potatoes again too much salt or left over from my dead taste buds at that point. Not sure. I have had such a great experience here before. Notes..My plate was chipped and my fork was dirty. I know I am being picky but when you make it a special evening and expect to pay over $600 for dinner it has to be right. Complimentary dessert thank you, but again I ordered chocolate cake and covered in salt. I dont get it. I Ate at Nobu Toronto two nights ago and it was $1600 for 3. Exceptional. I am really shocked at how bad tonight was. I still feel crappy and been drinking water like crazy. My mouth feels burned. BTW the Staff was great and tried to make it up to us. Thank you but you need to step up your game. It was one of the worst meals I have had. Oh Salad was great. Sorry folks. Its off my list now. :(

Beautiful atmosphere and incredible service. The steak tartare, butternut squash, potatoes and steak were delicious. They were even able to accommodate a gluten free intolerance by bringing out some GF chips with the steak tartare. I loved the environment and would highly recommend for a nice date night. Thank you Prime Seafood Palace for. Lovely experience!!

Service was good, and the decor was cool, but the food is extremely underwhelming, and not worth the price. Would not recommend.

We visited for our first wedding anniversary with high expectations, but unfortunately, the experience fell far short. Our food was significantly delayed, we waited 30 minutes between our appetizer and entrée. To make matters worse, the 25 oz steak we ordered arrived burnt and bitter. While our server was attentive and apologized for the delays, the quality of the food was simply not up to the standard one would expect for the price we paid. This was a deeply disappointing experience for such a special occasion.

Just had dinner at Prime Seafood tonight. Food was decent but not nearly as good as my last visit which was excellent. The prime rib was well cooked and seasoned except the cut of meat was too lean (fat was only at the periphery) so the texture was too firm for a prime rib. Likely the firmest prime rib that i have ever eaten. Afterwards we ordered 2 americanos and we asked for sugar and milk but we were only given 1 spoon so i had to stir with my fork! I was really looking forward to coming back but we left just a bit disappointed.

It was my first visit to this restaurant. I was expecting a lot after hearing some of the reviews, but I must say I was a bit disappointed. The food was ok, but for the price that they are charging, it needs to be more than just ok. The crudo app was alright, but at 65 bucks, it should have been more special. The house bacon was quite tender but a little salty. The big disappointment of the night was the prime rib entree. It looked like it was perfectly cooked (medium rare), but the texture was quite dense and tough. I ve had much more tender cuts at The Keg and even at AYCE buffets. The cabbage side was a bit salty, and the Yorkshire pudding was a bit dry and not very flavourful. Btw they don t give any free dessert for birthdays, but they did wish me happy birthday about eight times and I did get a candle with the dessert, so yippee. Without considering price, this meal gets 3/5. Considering the price, it s closer to 2.5/5.

At this price point, this is the worst restaurant in Toronto. There are so many better options where you can enjoy an evening for the same or even less money. Taste-wise, food was mediocre at best, with desserts being actually terrible. The portion sizing was ridiculously small. Service was also mediocre. Only good things are the interior design and the wine menu. Do not recommend at all.

This place was great. Kevin our server was amazing. Food was top notch!

What an experience! We loved every dish, and licked off our plates, no shame The service was attentive and professional, kind and genuinely caring. It s not cheap, but worth every penny. If you want to indulge and treat yourself, please go!!! Food

I spent more than $440 for two. Food was bad, fish smelled and cold. Beef steak, seemed they use the low quality of beef.

This is a beautifully designed restaurant - you enter through the courtyard. I did not find that the music was too loud and I could hear my fiancé talk without having to yell over him. This is often an issue in other restaurants. The service was excellent - high end, quality service. I felt that the food is really overpriced for what it is. The drink menu was good and the cocktails looked great. This was definitely a once in a lifetime visit - I will not return as I do not think the food was over the top amazing for the price charged. We shared the lobster spaghetti, caviar bites, beet salad, house potatoes and prime rib.

Fantastic. Service was some of the best I have ever had. Food was delicious.

Very special place serving outstanding food. However, we were very disappointed with the desserts (maple tart and Japanese cheesecake) as they were nowhere near as good or remarkable as everything else we ate here - and overpriced for what they were. Besides that it was a fantastic meal and would recommend for a special occasion.

The Beef Tartare and Tomahawk steak were delicious!

absolutely unreal food, especially the prime roast with the green salad. super lowkey restaurant

Most amazing food and warmest welcome always in Toronto!

Left wanting for nothing. Outstanding meal and service. The entire staff pulls in the same direction and our entire experience from seating, to picking special cuts of meat at the table, to wine selection, and even cutlery (the secret drawers in the bankette) and bussing were frictionless and delightful. Food was family style and tremendous. Lobster spaghetti was made even better the fresh truffles on special - and we got them shaved on (they gave us a mountain of them). Shrimp cocktail was massive. Beef tartare was outstanding but the fact that they bake their own Japanese milk bread in-house to make buttered toast for the tartare is some magical stuff. 45 oz Tomahawk was the special and it was as monstrous as it was delicious. Carrots with uni butter were mouthwatering. Cabbage with crispy chicken skin was something I never thought Id see on a menu, but two of beautiful things put together. Bearnaise. Yorkshire pudding the size of a soccer ball, dont skip on this. Im writing this the morning after and Im still full. Expensive but its what dining should be like. Special, memorable, and something unique and delicious you couldnt do at home.

We had an exceptional experience! Fantastic food and service. Our server Molly was outstanding!! We will definitely be back because of her :)

TL;DR - overpriced and mediocre. Wouldnt recommend going nor would I go back. Save the money and go to Jacobs instead if you want steak. The good: -We had a group of 6 and they gave us a little semi-private area -They offer the choice to make a menu for you if your group cant decide on food -A good amount of wine to choose from and the somm came by automatically when he saw me looking at the wine menu -They brought a comp Yorkshire Pudding when the order came as a surprise -They bring out the cuts of meat for you to see -Potatoes are good The bad: -Steak was way overcooked because the server never asked how wed like it done. Being a large group we were not particularly remembering to prompt the request ourselves. When I spoke to the server about it, he responded default is chefs choice which is medium rare. But at that price why should it not firstly be clients choice? They said their specialty is steak and seafood. Only 3 pieces were medium rare. -They ran out of tequila (LCBO strike, fine), the duck, and coffee -On the flip side the fish was very undercooked? I personally dont mind it but was surprised the server didnt mention thats how the fish will be prepared. Again at that price, there should be more care in customer service. Let us know in case someone doesnt prefer it that rare so we can either a) request it to be more cooked or b) order something else -Despite clearly being displeased at the overcooked steak, there was no attempt to rectify the situation. Instead the server offered to put it on the grill more if I needed to? Lol..The Yorkshire Pudding was offered prior as a surprise prior to the steak arriving so while I appreciate the $10 Pudding, Id prefer a new steak or comped items -Adding Uni to the carrots was $50 but the piece of uni is so small its not even enough for a hand roll

Everything about this spot is fantastic. Service was wonderful and welcoming, vibes were on point, and every bite of food was exquisite. Can t wait to go back.

Fantastic place - service from Anna was phenomenal, she went above and beyond just for little old me at the bar. I often dine out solo at restaurants as I m in the industry and like doing the research; the service here is worth all the five stars. While the prices are quite high, the level of service you get and the quality of food matches the price tag (more so than other places I ve been). Don t skip on sitting at the bar - the experience is just as good if not better! Daniel was also a notable team member, along with another young server/bartender whose name I didn t catch but was giving me Pete Davidson vibes (sorry to management that I can t be more descriptive but I feel like that makes sense). Fantastic service from them all!

Enjoyed the food overall but both me and my partner felt sick few hours after the dinner, suspect it might be the crudo. Also there were 2 flies flying around when we were enjoying the food, I truly wish the restaurant can improve in their freshness of food and hygiene. Love their dessert and cocktail.

The most incredible dining experience I have ever had in my life. Surprised they dont have a Michelin star yet. Absolutely incredible experience, service and attention to detail. They saw our booking notes and when seating us after drinks, a treat and champagne was already prepared and presented on the table waiting for us.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our friends birthday , and Kevin was absolutely amazing . Thank you .

Finally got to try out this much talked about spot. The actual dining area is beautifully designed and warmly lit. Every single staff member I interacted with was warm and personable, and their little touches (such as refolding your napkin when you went to the washroom) made the experience feel very tailored to the customers needs. The food overall is quite tasty! We had a mix of small plates and shared a few mains. This place is a steakhouse, but as the name of the restaurant implies, where they really shine is their seafood. The crudo, tuna tartare, and halibut were all standout dishes. The exception would be the lobster spaghetti, which was good, but very rich and a significant price for the amount they give you. The sides are also excellent. The carrots in uni butter and the beets with sangria vinaigrette were delightful.The palace potatoes are as good as the other reviews say, but the sleeper hit was the cabbage side with chicken skin- WILDLY good. Desserts were also fun- the Japanese cheesecake was perfectly fluffy and the Key Lime Pie with meringue was deliciously tart, although the crust was a bit too salty for my tastes. The absolute winner for us was their sorbet/gelatos- the spicy raspberry, dark chocolate, and milk toast were all amazing! (Random side note- the bathrooms are some of the best Ive seen in a fine dining restaurant. Heated seats- need I say more?) One star deducted in the food category for some of it being a little too rich (duck fat + olive oil + an incredible amount of butter can become a bit overwhelming) and for the high prices, disproportionate to a lot of the drinks and some of the small plates. Overall, an excellent experience!

Some great dishes. Excellent, friendly service. Deserts arent up to the same quality as the rest of the menu. Food : 4/5

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the experience was fantastic. The servers are attentive and patient in explaining all aspects of the menu. We got great suggestions for portion sizes and what to expect as soon as we were seated. We tried the crudo, tuna tartare, clams, spicy crab, palace bacon, halibut, prime rib, palace potatoes, carrots with uni butter, pak choi and all their desserts. The potatoes, Crab, and bacon were standout favorites. The carrots however were missing that uni flavor (we didn t opt for the extra uni). Their desserts were just WOW. That key lime pie is probably the best one I ve had EVER. The tart with the cheese was interesting in a good way. Japanese cheesecake in berry sauce is quite forgettable and the chocolate cake was pleasantly good. We splurged quite a bit on this meal, but honestly, would totally do that again.

The service and atmosphere were good but the food was way overpriced. I was really looking forward to it but was left very disappointed. - Sicilian Crudo: it s just sashimi, the sauce was ok but nothing special. - Lobster spaghetti: just average and portion is a lot smaller than expected. I believe an average adult male can finish it in two bites. - Palace bacon: too salty and too greasy for our taste. We really liked the bacon at Gallaghers Steakhouse in NYC so we decided to order it here but it turned out to be a disappointment. - Sweet corn, shrimp: Nothing special. The only memorable taste was the corn. It was sweet and delicious but aren t all corn? - Palace potato: The potato was good but the Aioli was underwhelming - it tasted like regular mayo - 12oz prime rib steak + Palace sauce (+7$): It was already cold by the time we finished dividing the food (which was not the restaurant s fault since it s thin cut meat so it cools faster). However, because of that you can really taste the grease from the fat and the juice was just a tad bit salty. The Palace sauce tastes just those shrimp cocktail sauce with a hint of BBQ sauce which doesn t really go well with the steak and does not worth 7 dollar IMO.

Our first time at PSP did not disappoint! The service was 10/10, quick, super friendly and patient with all of our questions. Each dish was so good, our steak was cooked perfectly. The space is beautiful and set a great vibe for the evening. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous, tasty and amazing service :)

I wish I could have had the same experience as other patrons. The service and atmosphere was wonderful so I will start with this positive. The food was tasty but portion size was incredibly small and the price large. We ordered the bacon and literally got 2 very small mouthfuls for $25.00. Ordered the lobster pasta. I know it was an appetizer but $50.00 for a scoop of pasta with a tablespoon size of lobster is ridiculous. I know this restaurant is on the current list of places to be seen so I guess very overpriced food is the cost of admission. That works for some but I rather get value for my money.

I had an amazing food experience at this restaurant. The service was great, and I loved the atmosphere. Probably among the best in the city for Service and Atmosphere for sure (certainly the best washroom in the city). The menu was packed with many options so theres something for everyone. The value however leaves something to question, quality is there but... $$$$$

We recently dined at Prime Seafood Palace, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and impeccable service. The ambiance is both elegant and cozy, making it perfect for any occasion. The staff at Prime Seafood Palace are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about providing a top-notch dining experience. Every detail, from the presentation of the dishes to the timing of the courses, was flawless. Overall, Prime Seafood Palace exceeded my expectations in every way. Its clear that they take great pride in the quality of their food and service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. We can t wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings!

Nice experience but the food is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY overpriced. But! The chocolate cake is the best I ever had.

Absolutely incredible place. If you have the privilege of dining here, I highly suggest sitting at the bar. The bartender Santana was amazing, so nice and fun to talk to, and an incredible mixologist! The Sicilian crudo is to die for you must have it with the yorkshire pudding to dip with, and Therin (sorry for spelling) the wine expert is a wizard in finding exactly what you are looking for. The halibut and chanterelle mushrooms paired with the sea urchin carrots is probably one of the best meals Ive had in my life.

Lobster pasta Must have and must try.

The room and the maître d were excellent. However, the experience was somewhat marred by a waiter who was subtly condescending. The food was the biggest disappointment. While the appetizers were great, the entrées were just okay. Due to an allergy, I had to remove an item from my dish, and they did not put in any replacement so what came out was extremely bland. The turnip side was undercooked and lacked flavor, as it hadnt absorbed any sauce, which was too thin to spoon on yourself to add any taste. On a positive note, the desserts were amazing. Given the buzz around this restaurant and Mattys videos, I expected more.

Went for a dinner here a while back and what an absolute treat. Service was phenomenal and the recommendations were on point. Drinks were fantastic, decor was very pleasant and inviting and no complaint could be made for any of the food. Can t wait to come back in the near future.

Insane. So damn good.

Caviars fantastic. Food was mediocre. Definitely not worth the price. Atmosphere is nice but the customer service was absolutely horrible from beginning to end. They missed some of our Orders and gave us a smaller portion of steak because they were out of stock and they forgot to remove the forgotten item and was charged full price for the steak when they didn t have 15oz of 40oz. I would highly suggest spending your money at another restaurant of that price range.

At Prime Seafood Palace, my dining experience was elevated to a whole new level thanks to the exceptional service provided by the dedicated staff. Matty s restaurants have a reputation of excellence so we knew we would be wowed in every aspect. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel like honoured guests. Every member of staff exudes a genuine passion for hospitality and a commitment to excellence that shines through in every aspect of the dining experience. They personally greeted us upon arrival, taking the time to ensure that our needs were met and that our evening would be nothing short of extraordinary. Throughout the meal, the attentive staff, provided impeccable service, anticipating our every need and going above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable dining experience. From offering insightful recommendations on menu selections to ensuring that our glasses were always filled, their attention to detail was truly commendable. In addition to their exceptional service; Chris, Vince, and the whole service team also took the time to engage with us on a personal level, sharing stories about the restaurants history, the inspiration behind their culinary creations, and their passion for bringing the freshest ingredients and vegetables from Matty s garden to their guests tables. Their warmth and hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel like part of the Prime Seafood family. We were lucky to make it early enough to try the prime rib before it sold out, it was tender and juicy, melted in our mouths. Their commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality set the restaurant apart and ensured that our evening was nothing short of unforgettable. I look forward to returning to Prime Seafood Restaurant and experiencing their exceptional service once again.

It is an absolutely beautiful space. I would have rated 4 for taste but giving it 3 because it was overpriced. Ie. Halibut was 80, but I would have paid 50 max. Steak was good, though. Beef tartare was sinewy. Tuna tartar came out lukewarm. Smoke trout was good. Service was good but not great. Waited 40 mins for appetizers. I might just go there for drinks for the decor.

Had a very good meal last night, started with a Negroni which was very good. Others had the peach beer made by Oast a great Niagara brewery and some wine. Started off with Sicilian Crudo, Tuna Tartar, palace bacon and leafy greens. Then ordered the Tomahawk steak 50oz cooked Med Rare, it was done perfect, nice char with a tasty sauce underneath served with a béarnaise sauce on the side and horseradish on the side. Also had lobster spaghetti, palace potato s which were insanely good, Caesar salad, Yorkshire pudding and some greens. Finished off with an assortment of gelato, key lime pie and chocolate cake - all were amazing the key lime was the best! This was my second time here and will be back for sure! Our waiter Zach made sure we ordered the perfect amount of food and made some great recos A+++.

15/10 experience and food!! We love Matty Matheson so we had to check this place out. We had a party of 4 and we all kinda couldnt decide what to order and our server suggested that they could do a tasting menu for us. Everything they brought out was fantastic!!! They did 3 courses & a dessert course. Each course had about 3-4 dishes. My personal favorite was the appetizer course. Fresh sashimi, beef tartare and shrimp cocktail. They were also able to cater to my gluten free diet. There were some dishes that I still wasnt able to eat but they had plenty of options in each course, and I still ate VERY well. We did have to bring a 5 month old due to last minute child care canceling and they were extremely accommodating. She overall was well behaved but the staff werent judgy and were helpful with finding a spot to put her stroller. We apologize because its definitely not a super kid friendly environment, but life happens and they didnt seem to mind too much. Lastly, coolest bathroom ever lol. Dress: a little bit of everything but Id say fancy casual. Price: $$$-$$$$ Dietary restrictions: Able to cater to gluten free

Pretty close to perfection - food, service and ambiance. We were running late, but they were extremely accommodating. I dont know how they do it, but the music was great, loud enough to hear but not too loud that you cant hear each other. It was our anniversary and almost all of the staff acknowledged that. Great experience!

Subpar. Everything was oversalted and while the bartender was unenthusiastic and never check in with us other than taking an order and bringing the bill at the end. Food was over salted and drowned in oil. Service was cold.

Outstanding does not even begin to describe the experience at Prime Seafood Palace. From the moment we entered to the moment we left we were taken such great care of by the team. Every staff member we came into contact with was jovial, knowledgeable and confident. Food was out of this world. Smoked trout appetizer and the 12 oz prime rib were highlights of the evening! Beautiful ambiance, phenomenal offerings. Super glad to have tried the place and will return again. Thanks Prime Seafood Palace team!

Mediocre experience. Dishes were not coursed and every dish was bought at once. Warm dishes got cold and congealed. Service was -very- friendly but distracted. Could see the possibility with a few tweaks to have great experience, but it was far from great.

One of the best dining experiences of my life. The food was unbelievable everything we ate was an experience in itself. Cooked to perfection and delicious. The staff was friendly, knowledgable and quick. The restaurant was a very comfortable atmosphere and they didnt rush you out, Infact encouraged us to stay. It was a wonderful way to spend an evening.

I typically dont write reviews but my experience at Prime Seafood Palace was a weird one. My wife and I decided to come her to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. We ordered the smoked trout and waffles, as well as the lobster spaghetti for the apps, and they were both amazing. Then things started to fall off. We ordered the $250 tomahawk steak medium rare but it was poorly cooked. It was cooked well done instead of medium rare. For a steak of this price, it needs to be executed right. This is where the service started to get really strange. There was a couple sitted to the right of us who arrived earlier than us and they were also celebrating their anniversary. As their meal was concluding, they were offered a dessert menu but declined to order dessert but the restaurant offered them a complimentary dessert anyway, which was a nice touch. There was also two ladies who seemed to be friends enjoying a night out, sitting to the left of us, who ordered dessert to go but the restaurant gave them a complimentary dessert to eat in the restaurant. But then when it was time for us to order dessert, the restaurant made no special effort like they did the other two tables. This is poor service. Im not sure if the other two tables had a special connection to the restaurant but it made us feel less than. We werent expecting anything free or complimentary but if you provide better service to some customers and poorer service to others, thats really strange to see in a restaurant of this caliber. We have been to many Michelin starred restaurants and never had a weird and strange experience like we did at this restaurant. Toronto has many amazing other restaurants so I would recommend you try these other places out instead.

Wonderful experience from the moment we walked in the door. The staff are attentive professional and unpretentious. Victoria was extremely helpful and patient as we navigated the menu. The food was some of the best fine dining we have ever experienced. What a wonderful restaurant!!! 1000/10

I had a fantastic meal here. I ordered the LOBSTER AND SPAGHETTI, and it was great. I wish the portions were a bit bigger. I also had the PALACE POTATOES, AIOL, and CHILI delicious and don t miss out on the chocolate cake. It s so tasty.

The food is good, but the service was what made our dining experience exceptional. There were a couple times the wait staff accidentally dripped a bit of sauce on us (accidents happen), but despite that, the service was incredibly personal and natural. My fiance and I were continuously congratulated on our anniversary by 4 different wait staff and hosts. It really felt like they cared to celebrate our anniversary along with us. Thats the kind of service that sets Prime Seafood Palace apart from other establishments.

The ambiance and decor of this establishment are quite satisfactory. The exceptional service provided by the staff is commendable. I particularly enjoyed the seafood dishes, which incorporated a delightful Asian flair, evoking a sense of nostalgia. However, it is important to note that the pricing structure appears to be somewhat excessive. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Extordinary!

A little steep, but the ambiance and food was worth it. I just wish that there was more time in between the servings. Don t underestimate the richness and butter in the sauces. Our server and the Mathilda cake were lovely.

Beautiful restaurant on Queen West. The staff and atmosphere are upscale and welcoming. We sat at the bar and Jess took great care of us. The filet with Dungeness crab and side potatoes was one of the best meals you can get in the city. We will be back. Thank you Jess!

Date night . Great food suggestions for a perfect feast from our server. He really did his best to make sure we tried as many items as possible without going overboard. The result, a perfect selection of dishes. All done to perfection. It s rare. Go. You won t be disappointed.

My girlfriend and I went here for our anniversary and it was easily one of the best dining experiences we ve ever had top to bottom. Daniel gave us an unbelievably warm and professional service and the food was incredible. Absolutely make the time to eat here if you can.

Atmosphere was beautiful and the host and server were great. Unfortunately, the food was just disappointing. Didnt expect the asian twist on the dishes and it was not executed well. The Palace Cut and potatoes were good and that was about it. The steak tartare was not flavourful at all and the excessive amount of sesame seeds on top did nothing for the dish. The toast that it came with was delicious but did not complement the tartare at all in terms of texture or taste (Hong Kong bakery style white loaf), the butter on the toast was all you could taste. The tuna tartare was quite terrible, the tuna was MINCED. I cannot understand why for the life of me why it was that texture; the tuna itself was absolutley tasteless and completely overpowered by the dill flavoured shrimp crackers and very subtle chilli oil. The lobster spaghetti was alright but literally 5 bites of noodle. As great as the interior and service is, nothing can change the fact that the food was not good.

Steak was somehow cold yet burnt and flavourless. Worst steak Ive ever had - so bad none of us had more than a bite. When I asked the waiter about it they mainsplained to me that I dont have good taste. My food was also served with hair in it. I had to tell the wait staff twice about it. The bathroom was dirtier than Union station. The architecture of the restaurant is quite nice. Addendum - They asked me to reach out to the manager. Several attempts to connect and no response. Poor customer service. In a sea of great food options this place does not meet the cut.

World class. Maple tart with a massive wedge of cheese atop was mind blowing. Best bite of steak I ve ever had. Palace potatoes are a work of art.

Without a doubt, this dining experience surpassed all expectations. Every element was harmonized flawlessly and presented the kitchen s culinary expertise . Each dish was a masterpiece, executes with precision and class. The service exemplified warm hospitality, embodying professionalism at its finest. The ambiance and cleanliness throughout the establishment further enhanced the overall experience, especially the famous ground floor washroom. Despite the premium price point, the exceptional quality justifies every penny. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and eagerly anticipate returning for another unforgettable meal.

Everything tasted excellent and nothing fell short but if I had to skip a dish it would be the sea bass. Leafy greens tastes way better than it looks. My favourites: uni and egg custard, Sicilian crudo, and tomahawk steak

What a place, what a menu, what a fantastic experience. Just make the reservation and go.

Top notch service and a very balanced and well executed steakhouse menu. Prime rib and palace potatoes were standout highlights. Great atmosphere for special occasions with an architecture design that will keep you in awe.

Overall, I have to say the food is very average especially for the exorbitant prices. The led Zeppelin on repeat was a little weird too.

The food was spectacular. The service was above and beyond. The place. The place was beyond classy and elegant. The experience was phenomenal. Especially as I was just a walk-in. Highly recommend.

We had an incredible dining experience here. Certainly worth every penny. The food was uniquely prepared and very flavorful. The service was top notch. We could not have asked for anything better.

very impressed with the team, they were so timely in responding to my inquiry and accommodating. it was a 10/10 experience from food, architecture, atmosphere! will definitely go back and recommend to anyone.

I have been thinking about our experience last night all day long It was just so wonderful. From start to finish. Lovely staff, perfect and attentive service, absolutely delicious and rich menu. Full of flavour and cooked to perfection. We can t wait to return, thank you for such a lovely experience.

First time trying Prime Seafood Palace and was not disappointed! Every team member was so attentive and looked genuinely happy to be there. The decor was nice and bright - I honestly forgot I was in Toronto. They do a great job of making you feel taken care of. Highly recommend the caviar, steak tartare and Yorkshire pudding with bone marrow. P.S. don t forget to check out the skylight washroom near the entrance! It s gorgeous!

This is a restaurant with an absolutely stunning aesthetic. The only thing to match it is the highest quality of ingredients done simply but to perfection. You wont find a bargain here... expect to pay for the best and have it live up to those expectations.

its very good. service was better then the food. More expensive then it should be. I have Butcher Chef ahead of it in the same price range.

Fantastic experience!

A hidden gem in the city. Truly one of the best restaurants in Toronto that I have ever been to.

The taste is quite good, the service is also very enthusiastic. Side dish recommendations are the palace potato and daikon. Both the lobster and spaghetti and spicy crab are fantastic, a highlight. The prime rib is cooked perfectly, with a huge portion. My boyfriend and I couldnt finish one portion between the two of us, but its just not very salty. The leafy green is very refreshing. The restroom is a bit dirty. Vegetarian options: Do have veggie choice Dietary restrictions: Do ask dietary restrictions Parking: Green p

Had a wonderful birthday meal here with my husband! Victoria was our server - very knowledgeable with great recommendations, lovely, and professional. The food was top notch. Highly recommend the crudo, palace potatoes, and we ordered their off menu items (duck breast and a steak) which were divine. I recognize seafood is in the name but mains are mostly steaks which many complain about but personally, Im not mad about at all! The seafood we got for apps were so good. After our meal, we got a tour of the kitchen and prep space, very cool experience to end the night.

One of my favorite restaurants in the city - fine dining made comfortable and accessible to welcome a wide demographic of guests. Elevated comfort food with generous portions (always leaving with leftovers). The service is exceptional from start to finish as the staff is very well-informed and attentive to your experience, many of whom came over to greet us for the occasion we were celebrating. Special shout-out to the knowledgeable Somme who remembered us from our last visit, this was a very nice touch to our evening. Well definitely be back again soon!

Way too expensive for what it is, taints the experience

Ultimately we found Prime Seafood Palace overpriced for what you get. While the interior design was beautiful, the rest of our dining experience was underwhelming. For the price, you should expect exciting, innovative dishes arriving at your table. However the meal was good but nothing outstanding. Server was pushy when it came to ordering food and drinks, she was quick to ask settle the bill while we were still finishing up. The music is a terrible choice for the space, 60 s and 70 s rock in an open, serene design. A true mismatch. Walked away feeling a little fooled by hype. Won t go back.

good but not amazing and absolutely too expensive for what it is, glad I tried it but I wont be back

This place is such a gem. Definitely a splurge spot price-wise but worth it for a special occasion!! The food is spectacular of course (the lobster spaghetti was genuinely out of this world, the tuna tartare was also incredible), but I couldn t believe the service we received. For being such a beautiful space and having such a high price point I expected friendly but stuffy service. Instead, there was no air of pretentiousness at all. Vince at the front desk shook my hand, introduced himself and wished me a warm happy birthday as soon as we walked in. Jing, the sommelier was sooooooooooo insanely knowledgeable and passionate about the wine list and helped us find something in our price range. She approached the experience with a refreshing down-to-earth energy and matched us with a perfect and unexpected bottle we never would have chosen otherwise. Zach our server was so friendly and made us feel right at home. He timed all our courses perfectly, in addition to guiding us toward a wonderful selection of the menu for dinner. He brought over a light dessert with a candle for the birthday and we left feeling like we d just dined at a friend s house (a friend with extraordinary culinary talents). Even other staff working around us would joke with us and seemed like wonderful people to hang out with. Long winded way of saying the service in this place is outstanding and it s well worth the visit. We ll be back!

What a special place. Walk too fast and you might miss it. As you come around the corner you are greeted by the smell of burning wood. Entering the building, the warm light, beautiful decor, and friendly staff welcome you in. We sat at the bar, and had an amazing experience. Everything was perfection, from the knowledge of the staff, the cocktails, to every bite of the dishes we shared. This is by far the best meal Ive had in Toronto, and one of the best ever. Just dont look at the prices and have fun.

Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. I am rarely surprised by food pairings and this place outdid themselves!

Terrible experience for their valentines day $1200+ tasting menu for two. First of all, it seemed like Matty was just discovering Japanese taste and was playing with his food. He had uni with oysters, which didnt seem like a terrible idea, but the execution was poor. The vinegar overpowered the dish, and the uni had little to no affect. I wouldve had a bump of uni alone if I had known that. What really pissed me off was the steak being served with tonkatsu sauce. If you didnt know, ton-katsu means pork-cutlet. Bro really used a pork cutlet sauce for steak. It was way too sweet for any steak sauce. The steak was great though. The service was awful. Even though I had already paid online, they tried to charge me another 1000 dollars after eating. When leaving, I grabbed my jacket from a server, but she insisted she put it on me, so she kept tugging on my jacket. I had said thank you and kept pulling on my jacket, but she insisted and didnt let go. Finally she says, I can put it on you and I say no thank you and she lets go. Weird servers, weird ambiance, weird food. Definitely not worth the 1200+ dollars I spent. I would pay 150 dollars tops for what I experienced.

One of the best restaurants in Toronto. Im surprised they dont have a michelin as its better than most of the stars Ive tried in Toronto.

Best restaurant experience I have had so far. The staff are kind, attentive and informative. Everything was cooked to perfection and the decor was gorgeous. Definitely visit the main bathroom and look up! Will be returning.

Great food and great service. Its on the expensive end but definitely worth the price.

Steak is juicy and tasty highly recommend. Amazing atmosphere and service is friendly.

We had an incredible early Valentines dinner here. The quality of the food, along with the presentation was lovely. Thank you for the warm hospitality and memorable evening, especially Sara for making our experience extra special. Cant wait for our next visit to the Palace!

Amazing experience and food. Waiters were extremely kind and well informed. I recommend the lobster spaghetti. Will be coming back for more.

For a much hyped and very expensive restaurant, Prime Seafood Palace is the biggest disappointment I ve dined at in years. Firstly, I ll start off with the service. We were a party of five and when three of us arrived, our waiter asked if we wanted anything to drink. We just stated that we ll wait until our other friends arrive and the waiter who looked he absolutely didn t want to serve us, rolled his eyes and left. The whole night, we got that vibe as even when our friends arrived and while we were ordering, he either asked them to order more food or when they asked if there was bread he condescendingly stated that the food is whatever he served. Lastly, when one member of our party accidentally spilled some water, the server didn t respond in anyway, we cleaned up ourselves. Not that we needed him to clean it, but in my experience when these things happen servers are usually pretty quick to help out. The lack of attention to detail is very noticeable. In terms of the food, for a place that s got seafood in its name, there wasn t exactly a lot of options for seafood. They didn t have any oysters, crabs or other items. The menu had one raw fish platter, a lobster pasta with tiny morsels of meat and one fish entree. Quite the joke for a place called seafood palace. As for the other dishes, the beef was decent and though most of the side dishes were too heavy and not good complements to the meat. Again for such a high end restaurant you d think they would put more thoughts into pairing the food well so the side dishes can help to balance out the richness of the main course. Of all the dishes we had, sadly the most memorable thing I ate was the palace potatoes. I ve dined at many places across the city/world ranging from holes in the wall to Michelin 3 stars and this is probably the worst fine dining experience I ve had. With drinks and tips, the meal came out to be more than 200 per person. For restaurants at this price range, I think it s readable to expect above average level of food and service. Instead all we got was overly greasy food and sloppy service. Only thing saving it from one star is the pleasant environment. If you want to eat steak, save your money and enjoy a better meal at the Keg instead.

All around amazing. Firstly, the staff. I ate at the bar, loved Hanna. Cool waitress, easy going, efficient, fun, knowledgeable. Just an all around cool chick. Not sure if I can say that (cool chick), but I did. We also mutually agreed that the playlist is killer. Ian, the sommelier... solid as Sears. Talked wine, food, cars... great guy. Sincerely enjoyed our conversation. For real... come to Niagara, well hit bolete for a bite, maybe a winery. The young lady that answered when I called, and greeted me when I arrived, the hostess. Im so sorry I dont recall your name. But I should have mentioned you first. You were the first point of contact, and you are awesome. On it, you were so on it. You even came over a couple times to check in on me. Make sure everything was great. And it was. Emilio, another gem. Checked in on me a few times as well, to make sure everything was perfect. Foods outstanding. Im not even going to begin to explain how amazing it was. But it was so so great. Its not cheap, but who wants cheap? I think its priced appropriately. In relationship to what it is, similarly the wine list and cocktails. Well spent money, it was truly an experience. Thank you all. Front of house and back of house. Parking: Decent street parking and parking lot adjacent.

Loved the ambience here! The highlights were the palace prime rib with the potatoes & the smoked trout dish. I ll be back to try more!

Amazing experience. The Food was incredible, the staff was amazing and the drinks were to die for. My wife and I live in Melbourne and this was so worth it in every way. If you are going to go to one restaurant in Toronto this would it.

It s such a beautiful restaurant, a mix between Japanese and Scandinavian architecture. They have a farm to table, scratch kitchen type of ideology. The cuisine is contemporary, most notably french with subtle Asian touches. I came when they opened in July 2022 initially and then celebrated NYE 2023. I really enjoyed it as an experience. Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating to my restrictions.

Dietary restrictions: They presented gluten friendly options for their Palace Classics menu which was appreciated by our large group! Food

Went with a few friends for my birthday, was thoroughly impressed. We did a family-style dinner where we ordered some steak and a few other apps and whatnot, as well as a full bottle of good wine, we all left full and still came in around $200 per person with tip. Well worth it for the food and drink alone, not to mention the ambiance. Service was prompt, friendly, yet casual for such a nice environment which I actually thoroughly appreciated. Steak was cooked to perfection and all the other seafood was equally delicious, especially the oysters. Would be perfect for a date as well, will definitely be back.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. The lobster spaghetti was one of my favourite dishes of any restaurant in recent memory. The portion was small bit so rich that it was adequate. The crudo was thick cut but still so delicious. The dessert with the giant piece of brie on it was insane (in a good way).

The entrance is hidden, it s not right on Queen St., but in the courtyard. The interior is mostly wood, along with the special lighting, it gives a relax and warm vibe. Although the name is seafood , but their protein focuses on beef than seafood. The beef is good though, we tried the prime rib 20oz in palace cut, had about 18 pcs and it is great to share. Carrot tart is another dish that was memorable to me. I am usually not a fan of carrot but the sweet and charred taste was nicely combined together and it was a pleasant surprise. Service is great and somm is very knowledgeable in the wine list, which is very huge. Not cheap but a nice place to explore your taste buds. The washroom with super high ceiling is eye catching. But the basin is too shallow and water splashing everywhere.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Prime Seafood in Toronto, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the ambiance was inviting, setting the stage for a remarkable culinary journey. Now, lets talk about the food. I must admit, Ive never been a huge fan of Prime Rib, but the Prime Rib at Prime Seafood is a game-changer. It was cooked to perfection, incredibly flavorful, and quickly became a personal favorite. Dont forget to add the Palace Potatoes to your order. The layers of amazingness were an unexpected delight, complementing the main course flawlessly. Chris, deserves special recognition. He went above and beyond to ensure our evening was not only delectable but also unforgettable. His attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out. Chris extended his hospitality beyond the confines of Prime Seafood, providing valuable recommendations to make the rest of our stay in Toronto equally memorable. As food enthusiasts, my husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Prime Seafood. The delightful atmosphere, exceptional cuisine, and top-notch service make it a must-visit for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience in Toronto.

This restaurant is incredible. The full package - food, ambience and service. Obviously on expensive side, but you really get what you pay for.

This restaurant is quite beautiful and well decorated. The service was impeccable. The food was also delicious and we tried a good portion of their menu. The maple dessert is honestly incredible. However, I would say that the portion size is quite small considering the price of the dishes, even by Toronto standards.

Absolutely amazing experience. Every dish was delicious and every single staff member was knowledgeable and friendly. The Palace Bacon was insanely good. The bone in steak as well. Literally everything we ordered was. Will be back again

I just tried the deserts here. All were amazing. Crazy chocolate cake and ice cream. Congratulations.

Fantastic venue and first class service. Food is great as well, but with prices that high expectations are that the meals should be extraordinary. We had ribeye, halibut, and a few starters. Ribeye was $200+ and I can t say it was perfect, just great

I had a very nice experience and a perfect moment in my life by enjoying a delicious dinner and great service in a beautiful restaurant with an amazing atmosphere for a very special day. Our soul sometimes deserves we pay a materialistic high price just because we deserved it. Experience sometimes is random and refers to perceptions, mine was outstanding at Prime Seefood Palace

I don t understand the appeal of this restaurant. It s supposed to be a seafood restaurant and there was a minimal selection of seafood on the menu. Lobster spaghetti, shrimp soup and a fish dish were the options. The crudo was good but extremely overpriced for the portion size. You could go to a good sushi restaurant and feed two people for the same price. The prime rib was tasty, but it s pretty damn hard to fu&k that up. The two side dishes we had were an embarrassment. The mussel dish had large hunks of inedible daikon radishes with half a dozen mussels between them. At $23 you get $1 worth of mussels and big balls of garnish. Seriously? Was this some sort of creative presentation? It was lazy and insulting to the customer. The duck fat potatoes were dry and flavourless. We had to drown them in our prime ribs au jus and mayo to bring them back to life. It s hard to mess up by frying anything in duck fat. You could roast my shoe in duck fat and it would taste better. I m unsure what the hype is for this overpriced menu and subpar food. Maybe just the name behind it. Maybe stick to burgers and pizza. I know The Bear wouldn t allow it in his restaurant.

My first time dining here and I understand the hype. Everything from the greeting by the host, to the head chef Coulson coming out to introduce himself, to our waiter Theran guiding us through a culinary experience. I would 100% come back with friends, family and clients. Highly recommend to come with a larger group to share as many dishes as possible.

Phenomenal restaurant! Loved the filet mignon, the seasonal tomato salad, the halibut and the pistachio mille feuille. Attention to detail is insane with the most welcoming and friendly staff.

Fine dining without the pretentiousness. The chef, waiting staff, support staff and everyone we met genuinely cared to deliver the best they can possibly do to make the experience outstanding. Thank you! Food was also phenomenal!

Great service, fresh food and a design worth the visit alone

Visited Seafood Palace for dinner and had an overall delightful evening. The ambiance was truly captivating, especially since it was a birthday celebration. First the setting; it is understandable why the interior is drawing attention not only from customers but highly acclaimed members of the architecture world as well. Admittedly, the initial reason I booked this dinner was to see the space for myself, and I was not disappointed. Every detail was meticulously executed, perfectly capturing Mathesons vision of a wooden cathedral. The unassuming façade and discreet side entrance added a charming touch because once one transitions into the interior, it is as if they were invited into a marvelous secret. Next the service; everyone from the host to our server was fabulous. Their pleasant demeanor further enhanced the overall ambiance. Our server was well-versed in the menu, providing us with detailed information and insightful suggestions. Finally, the food; I regret to admit that this is where my enthusiasm waned, and it prevented me from giving the restaurant a higher rating. Our party of two ordered the Grilled Humboldt Squid, Palace Bacon, Lobster and Spaghetti, Halibut and Broccoli. For dessert, a birthday essential, we had a variation of a strawberry shortcake. While the presentation of each dish mirrored the initial allure of the restaurants entrance, the flavors fell short of expectations. The dishes were satisfactory, but regrettably lacked the robustness of taste we had anticipated. Only Grilled Humbolot Squid and Lobster and Spaghetti gave us an essence of something else cream- but still underwhelming. Like other reviews Ive come across, considering the price point of these dishes, our hopes were set on experiencing truly exceptional flavors.

PSP is a great place to go to with a group of friends/coworkers. It s a bit pricey for sure but the food was a win, in my opinion. My only complaint is the lack of seafood options, which was a bit disappointing since it s in the name. That being said though, the Sicilian Crudo is a must order, it was absolutely delicious. The Palace Cut Prime Rib was the favourite, ironically! Definitely a good place to have in the rotation!

The service, drinks, and atmosphere was awesome. The food, however, wasnt. Some items were really great, like the striploin & beets. Some items lacked proper salt and acid, like the crudo & chimichurri. The béarnaise was straight up not good. The palace potatoes needed salt. :(

That was one of the most spectactular meals I have ever had. It was so wonderful, fresh, subtle, and lovingly made. My parents and I went for my Dads 70th birthday. I wanted to make sure he felt special, and he really did. The service was exceptional and kind, most of all because you could tell how much everyone loved their job and were passionate about what the restaurant stood for. A real treasure and worth every penny. Highly recommend. Very grateful. ***** Also want to add we came back last week on August 15th and if you can believe it, the food was even better! Just incredible. Emma took the best care of us and we are ever so grateful for Sarah who has also taken such great care of our family. This mention is a special shout-out to the incredible service that they offer at the palace. There is such a level of care, kindness, and joy that is very particular to that place.

Can t explain how amazing the food was but it was one of the best restaurants I have been in Toronto. Definitely going back!

I have high standards for restaurants but this is very impressive, 4.5 is underrated. Will definitely be back!

This was an incredible experience. The food is incredible. The service was amazing and the atmosphere was top of the line. It was my first time there and hopefully not my last.

The food is so ridiculously mediocre but they lose another star because of the crazy prices they decide to charge without being able to match the flavour up to it. Came here for my birthday with friends, bill came to $600 and the portions were tiny. Everything was either lacking in flavour or extremely oily. The keg steak wouldve been better than the strip loin. Tell me how they were sold out of the prime rib, and a cocktail that my friend specifically came back for. Uni toast was regular uni not even japanese uni on some toast with some tomatoes. Lobster spaghetti came with literally 4 pieces of small lobster tossed in too much butter where my throat was coated in oil and parmesan. One of the servers spilled our water on the table. A fly landed on me twice. I dont care about the price if the food was amazing but wow, flabbergasted that it was still packed around 930. Eggplant was close to flavourless with a house made toum that made you crave for Paramount Toum as it wasnt nutty or garlicky enough. I could keep going but I will save myself the effort. Dessert was the best thing but that also is a solid 3 as the tart is so extremely sweet but the cheese helps cut it down a bit, the shell was made quite well Ill give it that.

that was the craziest meal of all time

Fantastic food. Great ambiance. Incredible service. Second time going. Will definitely be back. Worth every penny

Great service. Wonderful ambiance. The food was fantastic.

Oh what a spot! Check the prices before you come, but if you re here for excellent food for a special occasion, there s no better spot. The serve staff have excellent recommendations, the food comes out with pristine excellence (would highly recommend the palace cut prime rib and the Chantrelles were delightful). Cocktails were well crafted, and the architecture in the restaurant is superb. Hopefully not the last time at the Prime Seafood Palace!

What an unbelievable night. One of the best restaurants in the city. The food is fantastic. The staff are incredible and very friendly. Everyone is down to earth and really go out of their way to make your experience special. I cant recommend this place enough.

Beautiful restaurant with top notch service. A nice selection of cocktails and wine. The lobster spaghetti was unbelievably delicious. Id go back just for that. I found the options bread and butter forward; if that is your jam, youre in for a treat.

The best part of the resto is it s interior decorations. You will def keep up with your social media game but claiming to have been to this place. The food itself was good, executed well but did not live up to the hype. The menu was limited and nothing special. Food

Very nice place for some nice food! They were sold out of prime beef by the time we got there at 8pm on a Tuesday. 4 dishes (any from the menu) was enough for two!

Everything was great. We started with Crudo: Salmon, Blue fin Maguro, Amberjack. Very delicious with oil base garlic sauce. Steak Tartare served with buttered toast was my favorite. Even their bread was good. Tartare was covered in toasted sesame seeds and had soy base marinate which was different from a lot of other Tartare Ive tried. Kippered muscle was ok. I dont think I will reorder. Steak with peppercorn sauce was delicious. Definitely will revisit with more people and I recommend I went later in the night so street parking on Queen was available.

The food is seriously VERY average. Totally not worth it. Uni toast was so average and expensive.

Great place

Best prime rib - potatoes are otherworldly, nice jus/gravy, charred carrots with some garlic sauce. GET IN MY BELLY!

I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at this restaurant, and Im eager to share the details. We kicked off our meal with the artichoke maitaki truffle emulsion, which was a delightful umami bomb with a light, crispy texture, although the sauce was slightly on the salty side. Next up were the seasonal tomatoes, which were tender, sweet, and perfectly ripe, offering a simple yet exquisite taste. The choawanmushy uni was like the foie gras of the sea, incredibly creamy and rich, though it might have benefited from a crostini for added crunch since its served with a pudding-like consistency. The Sicilian crudo, poured with tomato water and packing a spicy punch, left us speechless with its vibrant flavors. What added to the experience was our knowledgeable waiter, who had an impressive grasp of the menu and guided us through our choices. We were particularly proud to have tried MATTY MATHESONs newest creation, a testament to the restaurants innovation. As for our main course, we opted for the Prime rib palace cut cooked rare, and it was nothing short of incredible. Its a generous portion, perfect for sharing between two. Additionally, the Palace potatoes, with their thousand layers, were not only delicious but also highly Instagram-worthy. One unexpected highlight was the leek rarebit; it was a delightful surprise, creamy and subtly delicious. To complement our meal, we explored their wide selection of cocktails, and the white Manhattan stood out as different and became one of my personal favorites. Overall, this dining experience was a true culinary adventure, filled with exquisite flavors and culinary creativity.

The food and service were excellent. Everything was great -- especially the prime rib -- but the leek rarebit, steak tartare and palace potatoes were a cut above, exceptionally good.

No other comments for the food, just to show the raw and fat that I paid for $135.

Such a great dining experience! From the ambiance, to the wine, the food, and the service, everything was top notch. This was my first time trying caviar and I appreciated our server explaining how to best enjoy it. Everything we ordered was great. We would absolutely come back here next time we are in Toronto!

Bro, y all better off going to your local Wimpys Diner or something and getting the same kind of food. Ridiculously overpriced and they ain t got no flavour. I don t think they ve heard of any seasonings outside salt and pepper. Save your money.

Exceptional place! Perfect date places for a little splurge. Loved our ribeye steak and the sides. The bluefin tuna tartare was not as flavored but looked really pretty. They gave me a divine chocolate cake for my Bday which was really sweet (literally) and delicious! Service was excellent and approachable. They each come and talk to us about small things which was great. Decor was Scandinavian Japanese modern feel, clean and grand because the ceiling was high and arched. Its tucked away and seems elusive which is kinda chic and cool.

Top 5 maybe even top 3 restaurant experiences in Toronto, Michelin quality food and service. Well done.

incredible.

What a wonderful evening. The ambience, the service and above all, the food! Everything was a show stopper. Started with Crudo, squid and oysters. I could ve licked the Crudo plate. The butter served with the molasses bread was out of this world. Cocktails were all perfect. Sommelier was friendly and knowledgeable. Wine top ups were a little slow. Mains included 50oz tomahawk, pak Choi, palace potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding. Could ve done without the Yorkshire pudding, was definitely on the dry side and not needed. Pak Choi flavours were a nice treat to a rich heavy meal. Will definitely be returning. $850 for 3 people, including corkage fee as we brought our own wine.

Legends, The food was amazing and the service was crazy good. Vince and Emma took great care of us even though they were having aterrible shift due to things out of their control. Im going back on my bday for the Wagyu steak. Highest of praise to everyone working that day.

Lovely Food

Prime Seafood Palace lived but to the hype. The flavour of what we ordered (crudo, mushroom tart, 20oz striploin, and key lime pie) were phenomenal. The service was flawless and the interior design was very clean and welcoming. Be prepared to spend. I m not going to say it s expensive, although many people may, but I will say it s premium value.

10/10

Everything incredible. For special occasions for the price but everything is absolutely worth it

Ideal location for a family meal with friends. My suggestion would be to try the prime rib roast.

Wonderful meal, great service. Could not ask for anything more!

Group of six of us had an awesome meal here last night. First off, the place has this modern vibe that s just really inviting. And we even found parking right on the street score! Now, let s talk about the food. The Lobster Pasta? Incredible. It was like every bite was packed with flavor. Then there was this massive 55-pound Tomahawk Steak no kidding, it was huge and cooked perfectly. Plus, they had these Truffle Croquettes that were just out of this world. The wine? They know their stuff! The selection was great and each glass we tried just seemed to go perfectly with the meal. The service. It was on point. The staff were super friendly and just made us feel at home. No stuffy attitudes or anything, just good, genuine service. Honestly, if you re looking for a place that s got a great atmosphere, amazing food, and awesome service, you ve gotta check this place out. It s definitely worth a visit.

Unless you are sitting in one of the booths for large groups, there is no table that isn t subject to the flow of traffic behind them. If you get stuck in the corner by the staff door, you have to contend with constantly bumping shoulder with an accessible door button, which causes the door behind you to open and close quite loudly. Food felt a bit overpriced. Service was excellent though.

Poor service and the $245 tomahawk was overcooked.

Gorgeous design and architecture. Service was fantastic. Food was good however found it a little overpriced for what it was. Highlights: the chocolate cake (rich and decadent but not overly sweet or dense). And the palace potatoes, basically elevated hash browns but I cant stop thinking about them

Amazing food and great spot to celebrate a big occasion

I am beyond happy! Finally came in to check out this very popular restaurant by Matty Matheson. Lets just say that the entire team was a well oiled machine and flows with efficiency and gives detail oriented service. Food was just to die for, and it matched with the higher price point. The dish that wowed me was the pork farci wrapped in swiss chard, just to die for. My server/bartender Hannah showed me hospitality IQ like no other and I dont believe Ive received this level of hospitality yet in all of my years in Toronto and working in the industry, just an absolute perfect balance of professionalism and personable/customized service. The restroom is oddly a show stopper on its own, and definitely worth the line if there is any. Overall, this dining experience made me feel over the moon, and Ill definitely be back! P.S. shoutout to Emilio (manager) for the warm hospitality and conversation, and thank you to the entire kitchen team also for putting a much needed smile on my face :) Wheelchair accessibility: Both dining room and restroom are on the ground floor.

Food was absolutely first rate. Note that the menu is designed for sharing, so the principal plates are quite large. Service is warm and accommodating, which is amazing. Due to the level of service and quality of food one would expect it to be more pretentious, but it s downright homey. The Yorkshire pudding is massive, moist and fluffy all at the same time. Kid-friendliness: When leaving the hostess and I had a discussion about how easy going everyone was. She relayed that was the whole concept of the restaurant. Amazing and accessible dining for all.

Amazing food. Loved the lobster pasta.

3.5 stars Good: - a gorgeous, modern, creative space. It is very lovely. The bathrooms are almost an art piece; - the service is impeccable. Warm, friendly, and informative, without being overbearing or stuffy; - the drinks were good. Creative and well made; and - the lobster pasta was incredible. Rich and flavourful, with plenty of lobster. Cons: - the price. A corkage fee of $75 (?!) and the lowest priced wine bottle is over $100 (?!). With cocktails, wine, appetizers, mains, and sides, its easily $300 per person (including tax and tip); - the appetizer portions. Some of the options, like the stuffed peppers, are three thimble-sized, one bite pieces; - the meat was good - dont get me wrong. We finished everything and no complaints. It was well-cooked and tasty. But, if youre paying for a Ferrari, and you get a BMW, youre going to be disappointed; and - the Yorkshire pudding was large and impressive, but surprisingly dry and tasteless. Am I glad I tried it? Yes. Will I return? No.

We have our friends-giving here every year for the past couple of years. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious! Service is always on point. We always have a fantastic time and appreciate the effort they put into providing an amazing dining experience. And of course meeting Matty is always a lovely bonus! Can t recommend this place enough!

Loved the service from Hannah and Victoria at the bar. So welcoming. The place is gorgeous. Was seated in the cottage which was outside the main area (only negative was it was cold in there) but the food, wine, seafood and meat made up for it. Then the chocolate cake arrived. Heavenly.

On the pricier side but worth every penny! Everything was so delicious and I absolutely loved the caviar service. Our server was fantastic as well.

Its difficult to provide a review for this one. The food is excellent - very high quality and expertly prepared. The service is also very good - friendly, and unobtrusive. The problem I have is that the pricing is insane for a menu that isnt that creative or ambitious. This is essentially a very good steakhouse, but charging for a Michelin Star worthy experience. We were a party of two. We had two drinks each, appetizers of Molasses Bread w. mussels, and the lobster spaghetti, and for the main we shared the 20oz prime rib, with a side of potatoes, creamed greens and yorkshire pudding. No coffee, no dessert and with taxes and tip, the bill was just over $500. For that amount, I expect an experience I will remember for years, and I just cant say that about this place. Couple additional notes: - the Yorkshire pudding with bone marrow was the star of the show - for a couple, you will get plenty of food. we couldnt finish it all, and took half home - I gave a lower rating for atmosphere because depending on where you are situated, you may not have a view of the place (I was facing the back wall). It was busy and everyone seemed to be having a good time though!

Got me a seat on the bar tonight. Staffs are very welcoming and friendly especially the lady bartender. Service was fast, took 2 mins to get my drink and about 20 mins to get my prime rib and sides. Ordered prime rib medium rare and got it the way I like it. Well seasoned and cooked right. I did not order any sauce so it can stand by itself. I just wish they serve it in a bit of warm plate as the food tends to get cold easily. Palace potatoes was a great compliment. Bar was alright, just wish they have more islay scotch to choose from. Plenty of parking on the Queen St West side. Definitely a good place for a date night or sit in a bar to clear the head. Place was full tonight but not noisy. If you re in the area, check them out.

The restaurant is very pretty, but it s not worth the cost or the diarrhea. We went there for my birthday a few months ago, and we have let the restaurant know when we made the booking. I got the birthday greetings at the door, then they somehow decided to give us the table right beside the bathroom door. I don t know if it s because of the proximity to the bathroom, but there was a fly circling our table the entire time. The server definitely saw us waving the fly away, but did nothing. A dead tiny insect was stuck to the outside of my cocktail glass. I didn t say anything to not destroy the mood any further. We ordered all seafood, and everything dish was just ok or worth than what I was expecting at this price point. The flavored pearls in a white fish dish were extremely fishy and not edible. The dish we enjoyed the most is the smoked beets, haha. Oh, we both had diarrhea after dinner, how nice. (I also saw food poisoning in another review.) We would not be returning for the unwelcoming service or the bland food. The decor was very nice, but at this price point, there are many restaurants with better food, service, and vibe.
