I came here for my parents' wedding anniversary. My brother and I thought we'd treat them to a nicer meal for once. First off the service is great here. They took our coats and took us to our table. We told them we'd like to share everything and the servers were quite accommodating and helped arrange things so that we could do that more easily. We ordered a few apps to share and a few larger mains. The highlights for me was the Prime Rib and the Tomahawk steak. Both were huge. The Prime Rib had to be about 2.5 inches thick. The Tomahawk came cut up on a platter with two sauces. The meal was meaty and it was delicious. Stuffed myself to the brim. And at the end of the night, they presented each lady with a rose. Classy and left an impression. The price is on the high end, but I thought it was worth it for the special occasion. read more

I drive by this place almost every day and we decided to celebrate a large milestone with my family here. Glad I checked their website before going since I tend like to like wear a hat wherever I go (FYI no sandals, no hats, no shorts). It's a very cozy old school fine dining atmosphere -reminds me of the classic steak houses like Keen's and Golden Steer. Our server (younger gentleman with slicked back hair) was very friendly and attentive -funny too. The whole staff was actually very friendly -from the Host to even the other staff that helped bring food out and clear dishes. We started with the table side Caesar salad which was so fresh and amazing -I'd even come here just for that alone but maybe next time ask for a bit less garlic (which they mash fresh to start the dressing). When making the dressing, our server was very engaging with my Mother who wanted to photograph and learn the process. We were also provided complimentary olives, pickles and garlic bread (nicely toasted with fresh garlic). For the main course we all had the prime rib (great cuts, cooked perfectly with a nice jus) -most had the veggies which were fresh and perfectly cooked. One had mashed potatoes which they really liked; I had the fries that came a bit after my prime rib but worth the wait -thick cut and just crisp enough. We didn't get dessert (we were so full) but I was provided a free slice of cake to celebrate the milestone which I think was a tiramisu cake (made in-house) -very light and not too sweet but I do prefer a bit creamier tiramisu (I'm prob just used to grocery chain tiramisu lol). Overall it was a great night and I'll definitely be adding this place to my regular cheat day rotation since I wanted to try almost every item on the menu. I have an insane sweet tooth and their desserts made in-house may have to be in the regular take out rotation lol. read more

We ordered the Ceasar salad, the stuffed cod, and the porterhouse. The Ceasar salad is very filling as it has a lot of olive oil in it. It still tasted very good though The porterhouse was amazing - so tender! The stuffed cod and the mash potatoes were delightful as well. Loved the thick garlic bread and plumb olives that come complimentary. It's so nice that they also offer all the ladies a rose at the end of the night read more

You've done it again Yelp. You've guided me to a restaurant in my very own backyard and blew my mind. I must've passed Peter's hundreds of times and never gave it a second look. Though modest from the front, it is truly a unique experience inside. The first thing you smell when you step into this fine establishment is, surprisingly, pina colada. It's a bit of a disconnect from the traditional wood decor and old-fashioned loveliness a couple more steps inwards. As you check in your coat (which I've never had in a restaurant before), you begin to smell that distinct sizzling aroma of a juicy steak. The wait staff are friendly, professional and absolutely deserving of full points. As young adults with a face that could still be in school, I was worried we might be judged at a place where the median age is around my parents' age. It was so nice to be proven wrong. Our servers were courteous and hospitable, with great recommendations on the wine. We didn't have to wait long for food, our waters were always filled, and we felt taken care of all night. If you order any of the table-side dishes, they are all expertly prepared and the training that these servers went through clearly show. It also doesn't hurt that our food was amazing from start to finish: 1) Warm garlic bread, pickles, and olives start the meal. I had to be very careful not to fill up on the bread, but it was very tempting. 2) My boyfriend and I ordered the Oysters Rockefeller. The oysters were very fresh with a generous helping of savoury spinach and Hollandaise. ($21) 3) The steaks....I am so glad I don't have to travel downtown to get great steak! I ordered the 16oz. regular cut prime rib ($39) and I finished everything. I have a hard time finishing a regular 8oz. steak sometimes so you have to understand this really meant something. It was a perfect medium rare that cut like butter. My boyfriend got the 24oz. Porterhouse ($55). He wanted to take the bone in his hands and gnaw at it, but we had to keep up our appearances :) 4) The table-side bananas foster ($24) was fantastic. Our server was very friendly and informative, bringing our attention to all the delicious scents. The end result was caramelized, boozy bananas over vanilla ice cream. Perfect. At the end of the dinner, they give all the ladies a rose, which was a first for me and definitely a memorable end to a memorable dinner. I think I've found my new special occasions go-to! Peter's is truly one-of-a-kind in Markham and a whole other level above any regular steak franchise. Among a multitude of accolades from Tripadvisor, Urbanspoon, and city organizations, was a small red sticker that read: "People love us on Yelp!". We sure do, Peter's Fine Dining. We sure do.

Definitely one of my favourite places for a good piece of steak. While being on the higher prices, I think each steak is made with care and cooked to ensure that it satisfies the customer. I recommend the prime rib as the few times I had it they do cook it well and a good medium rare. That being said, my highly recommended dish is their made to order and tableside Caesar salad. This is something you must order. Its minimum for 2 people, and a little more expensive being a caesar salad, but because they make it right there in front of you, it's definitely worth every penny. I also had the fish before which was good but I would prefer the steak. Their oysters are also good, but i would go for the regular (non cooked toppings) rather than the Rockefeller one. My favourite dessert is actually only available in the fall: their pumpkin pie. Perfect buttery crust with the right amount of spices in their pumpkin pie filling. While I only had this once, I crave for it every time and is what actually made me fall in love with pumpkin pie. Staff are friendly and if you are female they give you a rose every visit. Love the cute gesture. read more

Food was pretty much as expected. Old school steakhouse. Not much changed in 20 years which is both good and bad. Very nostalgic. The main issue is the maître de (??owner) never put on a mask the whole evening despite seating people and checking on them during dinner and even posing for pics with one group. Waiters were all masked and noses were usually but not always covered. Also guests who came in without mask were walking through the restaurant and to washrooms without masks. If you are at all concerned with Covid protocols and safety, maybe give this place a pass. Should have left when we arrived and saw him unmasked but it didn't really dawn on me til we were seated and my wife commented. read more

Absolutely delicious! The food was cooked perfectly and very well portioned. I had the prime rib. They have 3 sizes to choose from, ladies cut, regular and large. I got the regular size which was perfect. Hubby had the Kansas city strip loin. Meat was so tender and full of flavour. The place is so romantic. Perfect for a nice night out, a date, or perfect night with friends. They don't allow children, so adults-only restaurant. The staff are very professional and proper. Excellent hospitality. Conveniently located on Highway 7 close to Markham Main Street. Parking is in the back. If you want to support local business, this is one stop that should be supported. Definitely will be back! read more

If I could add a meme to a Yelp review, I would insert the "So close" Freddy Mercury meme to this restaurant since it hit 5 stars in so many ways, but missed the mark in one area which I will describe later. The outside of Peter's is fairly humble. It has a bit of charm that way, but on the other hand, if they are fine dinning (which they are), they should spruce the place up a little. Not really a critical issue however. The inside is well-kept, but a little dated too. Again, it does add to the charm of it a bit. From the time my wife and I were greeted, right until we left about 2+ hours later, we experienced some of the best service we've ever had. Very friendly, extremely attentive, and you're treated like royalty. At one point, we both went to the washroom and returned to find our side plates replaced with new ones and given newly folded napkins. Towards the end of the night, they even offered to move us to a more elevated table as it became available, though we had never indicated concerns beforehand. We had to try the made-from-scratch caesar salad. It isn't a mere novelty, as a dressing is made from egg, vinegars, anchovies, garlic and a couple other ingredients done right in front of you. It's actually fairly good value since it was 10-15 minutes of labour and was a large portion for 2. If you like your caesar dressing strong (i.e. garlic), you've reached caesar salad heaven. My wife wanted the ribs appetizer, and though I wasn't too excited about the thought initially, I was very surprised at how good they were. Absolutely perfect in the texture, cooking time and taste. My wife went for the steak and lobster. They knocked it out of the park with both, with the lobster standing out particularly. It had to be the meatiest lobster tail I'd ever seen. I went with their prime rib, which I had heard they were famous for. The piece they gave me was massive, and certainly far bigger than the advertised weight. I'd have to say however that as I was eating it, I did have a mild sense of disappointment as it wasn't as flavourful as I would've hoped. It was perfectly enjoyable, but the fact that I had a little bit of buyer's remorse and wished I had ordered a steak did bring the experience (and this rating) down a little bit. We were given a free piece cake, as they knew we were celebrating a birthday since they asked when I made reservations. They also gave my wife (and other female patrons) a free rose too. I'm still dying to come back and would recommend the place wholeheartedly. Normally I can round up if just one thing is slightly off, but when it's a steakhouse, the review has to be centred around the steak. read more

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend, have been a few times and it is always a good time.

What a darling restaurant! I drive by this restaurant often and never tried it before now. It's a smaller restaurant and the inside does not match the outside. Classic example of don't judge a book by it's cover. Interior decor is very elegant and classy with added character. There are KISS posters and pictures which I thought was charming haha. All the servers are sweet and happy. Since I came for my birthday they gave me a rose! Food was cooked well, not like the keg where if you want medium rare you need to order the steak rare. You can actually order medium rare and get medium rare! We ordered the scallop wrapped bacon which was cooked perfectly. Bacon was cooked perfectly and not too oily that it became damp. Escargot was also cooked well. The dinner comes with garlic bread so I dipped it with the extra escargot butter because I'm unhealthy like that lol. Overall a fantastic restaurant with great food and service. You don't need to travel all the way to Toronto for fine dining! read more

Peter's Fine Dining - Seafood Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This is my absolute favourite steakhouse of all time! I'm a frequent customer here because all of my family members love to dine here on their birthdays/anniversaries. This is a classic fine dining restaurant located on the east side of Markham. FOOD: They have a wide selection of steaks available, they've got the typical roasted prime ribs and peppercorn steaks cooked right at your table. Regardless of which kind of steak, it is almost guaranteed that the meat is tender (almost melts in your mouth) and of great quality. I've never had a failed steak at Peter's. And their freshly baked garlic bread is to die for! Word of advice, don't stuff yourself with too much of them (even though they are unlimited), save room for their delicious steaks. Because you'll get hooked for sure! Not a huge selection for dessert but you definitely get your money worth when you go to Peter's on any occasion. ENVIRONMENT: How a fine dining restaurant should be, formal table setting with nice china. The restaurant is very dim so taking pictures with your food is a challenge (#foodieproblems) but it serves a perfect ambiance for a fancy dinner. SERVICE: Service is top notch like what you'd expect from a fine dining restaurant. Their staff / owner is always friendly and will greet you at the door, and help you with your coats. They also give each lady customer a rose at the end of the meal. I thought that's a very heart warming touch. read more

This is really a nice place to go for a special occasion. It's very charming where most of the servers are older gentleman. This place serves steak so I would avoid if vegetarian. I ordered the table side Caesar salad which was delicious. Our server Frank made the salad and also the steak Diane for one of my friends. I was really impressed with his professionalism and his culinary skills. I ordered the 16 oz regular cut prime rib. It was very tender and flavourful. It also comes with a side. I can't believe this is regular size because it was enormous. I purposely came really hungry and still could only finish half. The food and service are on point here. They also give all the ladies here a rose on your way out which is a nice touch. Thus place is expensive but you get what you pay for. Definitely a great place to go to celebrate something special! read more

Came here for my birthday because of all the hype. Loved the atmosphere and the Kiss memorabilia. Perhaps I'm a steak snob but I feel like it's overhyped. I mean... it's good but overhyped and overpriced for what it is. I don't think it's justifiable for the price in comparison to what you can get at a Michelin starred restaurant in Vegas. The waiters and waitress do their best in serving you and are super friendly. Worth a try for celebrations. Will return for a second try read more

I came here on Valentine's Day with reservations; we were seated promptly. I wouldn't recommend coming here on an occasion as they were very busy and I was not a fan of the service. First, let's talk about the food. We ordered the Steak and Pan Seared Scallop, Steak Dianne (cooked tableside), Old Blue Eyes (cocktail), and the Nutcracker Coffee (prepared and flambéed tableside). The Steak Dianne came out first as it was prepped tableside and the Steak and Scallop came immediately after that was finished. Both steaks were deliciously made. I preferred my Steak and Scallop over my partner's Steak Dianne, which is cooked in a Brandy sauce (the Brandy taste was a too strong for my liking). I also prefer my steak without any sauce. I loved my Steak and Scallop dish, mostly because of the scallop. The dish had three scallops; it was cooked in butter but the butter flavour was light enough so that it didn't overpower the scallops. Instead, it brought out the natural taste of it. The steak was also nice and a little crispy on the outside, whereas I didn't taste the crispiness in the Steak Dianne (probably because of the sauce). Inside was a perfect medium rare that cut easily. Both alcoholic drinks were lovely. I enjoyed the Nutcracker Coffee and would definitely order it again. I really liked that the steak and coffee were both prepared tableside; it's a different experience than just having your stuff brought to you from the kitchen/bar. All in all, the food & drinks were excellent. Now, onto the things I didn't like... The service was not what I expected from a fine dining restaurant. This may be because I went on one of the busiest days of the year. Instead of being seated across each other, we were seated on adjacent sides of the table (like an L-shape). I thought this was unusual and from what I noticed, my table was the only one in this placement. From the moment we sat down, we felt a little rush. They had already asked if it was our first time here and we said yes. We needed time to look through the menu but they came over several times asking if we were ready to order. When we finished our meal, my partner said no to dessert (without my consent) so we called our server over again because of course I wanted dessert! He replied saying, "that's what I just asked you and you said no." I thought that could've been handled better. One server also bumped into another nearby our table and he was very upset and started saying something to him in another language. I thought that was unprofessional but I think that's just the "style" (for lack of a better word) of the staff. I also just didn't get a good vibe from any of the servers. Our meal of two mains, one cocktail and one (alcoholic) coffee at the end of the meal was about $160 (before tip). I think this is very reasonable. I would return here but it would definitely be on a quieter night. I heard from my friend that they normally give out roses but I didn't get one : ( read more

This place is like a blast from the past or an homage to old school steak houses. This place is a smaller, more intimate restaurant with divided and elevated sections with booths. The restaurant is also dimly lit. They provide you with garlic toast, warm out of the oven. But don't fill up on these because the steaks and entrees are massive unless you're ordering from the "lighter fare" part of the menu. They also provide olives and briny-er pickles. The escargots came soaked in garlic and butter...and/or olive oil, either way delicious. They also come bubbling so please mind your tongues lest you want to burn them on delicious snail morsels. The French onion soup has a great depth of flavour but becomes salty on the palates as described by my partner's mother. It had a good amount of melted cheese, which in my mind was the best part of the soup, but again maybe not our smartest decision before getting large steaks because we struggled with this meal. The seafood platter my partner's mother got was accompanied by a cute little set up of drawn butter. The plate itself also has a good variety of seafood (2 lobster tails, snow crab legs/claws, scallops, etc) but be warned this plate is priced at market price (we paid $90 for the seafood platter that night). My partner's father got the prime rib and he usually opts for larger portions be even he recognized that 16oz was probably the way to go vs the 24oz bone in Peter's cut. My partner who can eat, but boy 16oz of steak... she did her best but only managed to complete 2/3 of the steak. The steaks came out perfectly medium rare in the middle and was tender and almost melt in your mouth good. The au jus or whatever the sauce on the bottom added a level of salt that increased as you ate. The saving grace she said was the horse radish that accompanied to help cut the level of salt and compliment the steak. I also recommended cutting up a pickles to eat in between a few bites. I had the aged New York strip. Again, this is not blow your mind steak place but the steaks are all very well cooked and very well seasoned. The striploin has no accompanying sauces but tasted really good. Tender in the middle but requires more chewing than the prime rib (which is to be expected). The steak flavour really comes through, likely from the aging process and the accompanying vegetable were crisp and a pleasant break from all the steakiness. The waiters and one waitress are all dressed up in their suit jackets and our server George was this older I believe Italian man who was really cute. The host does sport a very Gene Simmons-esque hair style which did not match the other servers nor the interior of the restaurant. The service was as expected of a restaurant of this set-up. It appeared as if one server was assigned a section each so they tend to hover at the foot of the elevated section. Some of the servers are also sporting a more European accent including the host who when we called my partner had difficulty understanding him. But they do ask if there are children and if you're celebrating anything. They gave us a complimentary cake for my partner's fathers's birthday. Again nothing fancy but very well done. Btw, the rumors are true. Every lady gets a rose from the host at the end of the meal. So, if you're on a date with someone and you didn't get flowers, know this beforehand, in case you feel like it's going to make you look bad that the host gave your date a flower and you didn't. Just a tip for those splurging on a date night. In all honestly this should be a 5 star restaurant if this was 20-30 years ago, but with the changing landscape of food its a little dated, but also an experience that some people might miss. Take your parents or grandparents out to this restaurant and share a plate because like I said the steaks are huge. Pay homage to an more classic way of fine dining. read more

Atmosphere (4/5): I have moved to Markham for a couple of years now and have drove past Peter's several times. From the outside, the restaurant does not seem like anything special or fine dining at all! However, after many positive reviews from friends and reading the excellent reviews on Yelp, my boyfriend and I decided to go to Peter's to celebrate our anniversary back in August. Something to note is that the restaurant has limited parking space (mostly at the back) and reservations are definitely recommended because the restaurant was quite packed when we went on a weekday. Walking into the restaurant, it gives off an old school fine dining vibe. It is obvious that their staff have worked there for years and so, they are more casual and therefore, it is not comparable to fine dining in downtown Toronto. Nonetheless, my boyfriend and I enjoyed the atmosphere and I think it complemented our meal very well! Service (4/5): The service here is great! The staff clearly know what they are doing and we had no problem at all. One thing I hope that they had remembered is that when I reserved for the table, I had told them that we were celebrating our anniversary. If we hadn't told our server again, he wouldn't had provided us with a complimentary dessert or mentioned anything. However, the rose that they gave out to each woman in the room at the end of their meal was a nice touch and definitely made up for it! Quality of Food: I had done some research prior to coming to the restaurant so I had very high expectations for the food. We ordered the following: Appetizers French Onion Soup (5/5) - Hehe..this was very good! This is a very traditional french onion soup with the cheese melted on top and off the bowl and the soup very thick and heavy. The soup was fairly inexpensive at $12 and can definitely fill your stomach up quickly. It's a good thing that we shared this one or else we wouldn't be able to devour our steak afterwards. As a side note, I've also tried the french onion soup from Canoe before and I can say that Peter's french onion soup is a lot better. Oysters Rockefeller (4/5) - This dish had a unique mix of flavours and is something that you can't get outside of Peter's. It was also a very decent price at $23 for 6 baked oysters! Tomahawk Steak (5/5) - OMG - this is huge (and delicious). We definitely underestimated the size of this steak (although it does say 50oz in the menu) based on IG and Yelp photos. For once at a steakhouse, we asked for Medium Rare and we got Medium Rare!!! The steak was really good and juicy and cooked oh so perfectly! It was presented very nicely (although I was sad we didn't get the wooden board for aesthetic purposes haha) and already cut and ready to serve. The steak came with two sauces (a white creamy sauce and a gravy tasting sauce) and I preferred the gravy more. Also, it came with two sides and we picked vegetables and mashed potatoes, which were also very yummy. Overall Review (4/5) - This place is a hidden gem (for me at least). I would definitely come back if I want to splurge for a quality steak. Their portion sizes are huge and many cannot finish the entire steak in one seating. As for us, we couldn't finish and our server was very kind to help us pack our entire tomahawk (including the bone) very neatly in a box and bag. One thing to note is that I had compared the prices of Tomahawk steaks of different steakhouses prior to visiting Peter's and I can definitely say that $125 for the Tomahawk is a steal! We are very pleased and had a wonderful night :) read more

Many friends have recommended this restaurant to me so I decided to give it a try. Upon arriving everything was fine even though I was a little under dressed and I apologized in advance. We ordered the lobster bisque, scallops wrapped in bacon, smoked salmon, chefs cut prime rib, and filet mignon. Appetizers were super salty and I barely could finish any of it. I wasn't too pleased already. Then the steaks arrived .... I had the filet and it wasn't tender at all but super dry. The server asked me how the filet was and I told him truthfully how it wasn't that great. He was kind of in shock with how unpleased I was and then started giving me attitude which I didn't appreciate. After that I just asked for the bill cause I honestly wanted to just get out of here. I wasn't expecting them to void it out of my bill I just wanted to give them feed back. As I was walking out the guy at the door asked me why I didn't like the filet they sell thousands of them. I then replied with I've had many filets and it didn't meet my standards plus I wasn't too pleased with the way the staff treated me and I told him to have a good night. Whether the service was shit or not I still tipped them the minimum of 20%. I'll never go back and if my friends ask me about my experience I'll tell them honestly how upset and pissed I was. I'm sure others have had good experiences and maybe they judged me on the way I was dressed. But it didn't mean I couldn't afford it. Good luck on business with the way you guys treat people. read more

So me and my gf just celebrated my birthday here and it was by far one of the most hidden gems in Markham. I've lived here all my life and never eaten here. But I've passed by a million times. When we entered we were greeted by a tall gentlemen, Tom (owner). He looked like he was a rockstar that just decided to run a restaurant (See all his Kiss pics). He took our jackets and seated us at the requested booth seat. Immediately we noticed how the waiters were all well-dressed older gentlemen. That with the decor made for a very charming old school fine dining atmosphere. I did read some reviews and some stated they were scolded for wearing casual attire. Tonight we did notice one table with people wearing casual sweaters and jeans. They did stick out like a sore thumb and I would recommend business casual in this setting. I think it goes without saying that if the restaurants name has Fine dining it, you should at least dress business casual. Unlike some reviewers here that felt shorts were appropriate then were sour that the owner enforced the dress code. I understand his perspective and it makes other diners feel like you didn't dress appropriately for the setting, like us. For starters we got the baked escargot and baked oysters. I really liked the escargot but not so much the oyster. But then I don't really like oyster to begin with but they hit the spot with my gf. For the main I got the porterhouse steak and it was a huge portion. I only managed to finish half. The steak was nice and soft like ribeye but the flavour was striploin. My mistake was forgetting that I wasn't a big fan of striploin when I should have just ordered her aged ribeye. The sides were just okay. Other reviewers recommended the lobster tail and it was really good. It was juicy and it came with hot butter that was heated by candle. During our meal the owner, as I've read in other reviews, gave my gf a rose. I appreciated this nice gesture. For dessert we had the cherry flambé with ice cream. This made for an entertaining pyro show as the waiter used courvoisseur to work some flames onto the cherries before serving it over your ice cream. I didn't expect it to go well with the ice cream, but it did! Overall, I enjoyed the dinner. This place is probably the best place to celebrate any special occasion in Markham. Big portions and prices on par with a fine dining establishment. I'll definitely be back. read more

From the moment you walk in, you are treated like you're the boss. Coat check was offered but declined. Seated promptly on a Monday, which much to my surprise was packed. Was seated, offered a drink menu and food menu. After ordering a drink, the drink had arrived just a few minutes later. Food ordered. French onion soup to start, filet mignon accompanied with veggies. Soup arrived in 5 minutes. I though it was too fast but it was absolutely perfect. Broth was spot on. Cheese was perfectly melted. Bread crumbs were nicely tender. Once I had a chance to consume my soup, which took about 15 minutes, the main meal arrived. Guys the timing here is amazing. Like spot on. They've thought of everything and that's why you pay the price you do. There is not a second that they don't think of you. Meat was devoured and perfectly cooked. Veggies were absolutely amazing. This place is really good. They deliver on what they promise and that is 20+ years of amazing service. If you haven't been here, you should. I treated myself after moving to the area - skeptical cause I was on my own - but boy am I ever glad I did. I'll be back many times again. This place is a stickler for perfectionists. I only wish the prices that were comparable to shawarmas - but let's be honest - you get what you pay for. ++++++++++ Thank you for the great experience! read more

Must Try: Rib Eye Steak (24 oz), Prime Rib (24 oz), Rack of Lamb, Caesar Salad, Escargots Rating: (10/10) Food, (10/10) Service, (9/10) Value, (10/10) Ambience, (10/10) Presentation, (10/10) Cleanliness My Experience: Living in Markham practically my whole life, I've driven by Peter's more times than I can remember, but only recently made the decision to try it out. I will say, without a shadow of a doubt, Peter's is on of the best steakhouses in Toronto, and possibly of any I've ever been to. I've had the chance to try a lot of steakhouses in Toronto, and I'd say Peter's is at the same level as Jacob's or Barbarian. The vibe of the Peter's is very old school, with friendly and experienced servers that add to the experience. Personally loved their thicker steaks, such as the Prime Rib and the Rib-eye, as they have an amazing cook and full of flavour. Their caesar salad is amazing as it is made fresh to order table side, which is truly a unique experience. I would recommend Peter's ten out of ten times. read more

Located in #Markham, this 40-year old traditional steak house provides table-side service for some dishes like Caesar Salad, Steak Dianne, and Desserts (Cherries Jubilee, Crepes Suzette, Banana Foster, etc.) I loved the old school decor and friendly wait staff.

Called to made reservations 2 days before and they had spots. A smaller restaurant then I imagined but all the staff are all very attentive. Food I would actually give 3 stars. The complimentary garlic bread was a bit oily for my liking. We got 3 appetizers to share. The escargot, oysters rockafella, and table side Caesar salad. Get the Caesar salad as all the other Yelp reviews recommends. It's actually really good. The oysters were a bit disappointing to me. I've had way better else where. As for escargot it was alright, but again a tad bit oily to me. We got the tomahawk ribs. It says 50oz but it's changed the 38 oz and $100 not $125. We got medium well, it came with 2 sauces and it was alright. Over all the service was excellent but I've definitely had better steak elsewhere. But being in Markham it's a solid 4 read more

Meticulous attention to detail and service was top notch. Food was very delicious and always consistently seasoned and well presented. This is the place for special occasions in a very traditional steak house environment. Highlights of our evening was the table side prepared Caesar salad, incredible!! read more

Caesar salad is the best! A must try! The environment is great, and please note there is dress code read more

Peter's is one of the better steakhouses in Markham but it still does not match up to Jacobs & Co in downtown Toronto. The experience is more upscale than the Keg. Some dishes at Peter's stood out, but when it comes down to the steak itself, it was not exceptionally better than the Keg (which is surprising, considering the price difference). I ordered the: Caesar Salad Made Tableside ($27 for a serving for 2 people) - DELICIOUS. The dressing packs in a lot of sharp flavours so it isn't ideal for those who like mild foods. They load up on the garlic, anchovies, worcestershire and tobasco sauce - the dressing has a bite to it. French Onion Soup ($11) - One of the better french onion soups I have had, but not the best. The broth is rich, dark and beefy. There is a generous amount of stretchy, cheese on top but it was mild tasting (I prefer when sharper, bitter cheese is used). 24 oz. Bone In Rib Steak ($59) - This was shared between 2 people and came with a side of mashed potatoes. Considering I ate bread, olives, caesar salad and soup before this arrived, there were leftovers. The steak was very thick and correctly cooked as requested (medium rare). Some portions were really tender but other bites were chewy and hard to work through. Compared to other steakhouses, the seasoning was very light and bland, so the salt shaker came out a few times. Mashed Potatoes - Average, a little gritty and not creamy. The keg has better mashed potatoes. read more

My boyfriend took me here for the first time for our anniversary and it's the best fine dining experience I've ever had, even better than Ruth's Chris. The employees are all so nice and really know their stuff. The food, especially the steak was cooked to perfection. It may seem expensive when you look at the menu online but the whole experience makes it all very worth it. The bread is delicious and they even give you pickles and olives to go with it (it might as well be unlimited). We got a little cake after our meal on the house and they handed me a beautiful rose before we left. Highly recommend going here. The vibes inside were very elegant & peaceful. read more

During covid... host not wearing mask ( who's handling my menu and bring me to the table!!) and ask me to leave if i don't feel comfortable because i told him to put a mask on.... Don't go there if you want to stay away from covid-19. read more

Definitely a hidden gem in Markham for all you meat & seafood lovers!! The portions are humongous. Huge slabs of meat when you order the Peter's famous prime rib - the meat just melts right in your mouth. The barbecue back ribs are meaty and they are fall-off-the-bones good!! And rack of lamb... OMG, I have never had such delicious lamb before - really juicy and tender, seared with a crispy outer layer :D I'm drooling just thinking about this lol. I also love how they carried on the traditional art of tableside cooking. It really enhances your visual experience and you can smell the aroma while they prepare the food right in front of you - whether it is a Caesar salad, a peppercorn steak, or a flambé dessert :) One more thing that I must note - they seriously take service up another notch!! This was my first time dining at Peter's for a birthday celebration. The restaurant allows you to bring a cake (+1), and does NOT charge you extra per person for caking-cutting fee. To my surprise, they presented the cake on a nice platter, servers joined in and sang 'Happy Birthday', took the cake back in and individually plated a slice of cake of each of us with a beautiful finish - chocolate drizzles, icing sugar, fresh fruits, and whipped cream :D! And to top all this, every lady receives a rose at the end! I feel extra special tehehehe... but it is actually part of their old school tradition (+1). I'm lovin' it. Needless to say more. Overall, a great experience! I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come again! What are you waiting for? read more

Can't believe in this day and age we can still have such disrespectful service from an establishment. Peters fine dining that prides themselves in over 40 years of experience is just disgusting. Reading the experiences from the poor reviews and personally being mistreated from Tom the hostess. I hope cancel culture catches up to you because the way you treat people is just not right. read more

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

I've driven by Peter's probably over a hundred times and never would I have thought that one of the best steakhouses that the city has to offer would be tucked in amongst a strip of mechanics and fast food joints. I took my girlfriend here for a late Valentine's Day's dinner on Sunday night and from the moment we entered, the staff made sure our dining experience was memorable. The decor was warm and cozy and gave off an old school charm. We ordered the Chateaubriand for two and the portions were substantial. The beef was cooked to perfection and exquisite and the accompanying vegetables were well seasoned and flavorful. We didn't have room for dessert but ordered the New York Style Cheesecake anyway. Delicious! The service is impeccable and the food was divine, it was a fantastic experience overall. I plan on bringing my daughter here for her birthday in July. read more

The exterior may not look like much, but upon entering Peter's Fine Dining, you'll be convinced immediately that you will be dining finely. Valet parking is not available, and they seem to only have less than 15 parking spots in the back - I suggest parking at the plaza across. The interior decor is vintage and a bit grungy. The main entrance is small with a coat rack in the corner, the lighting is dark so be careful not to trip over the stairs. The Food: Mermaid Platter $67 - 6oz. filet mignon was overly seared and more medium than medium rare (what I ordered). The scallops were large in size but not tender at all. The crab legs were deliciously meaty, but again a bit dry. The baked potato wasn't baked thoroughly, as in the potato skin wasn't separated from the actual potato and the potato itself wasn't flaky but instead hard to dig out with my fork. Baked Halibut - $34 Juicy and tender halibut with a small portion of veggies on the side. Peters Cut Prime Rib $41 - This is their signature item on the menu, and when it arrived at the table, I see why. This cut is ENORMOUS! I was actually in a bit of a shock when I saw it. I've never seen such a large piece of meat on a plate. I tried a piece, and it was a little tough and overly salted on the edges. The Regular cut is significantly smaller for $38. Banana Foster for Deux $20 - Exactly like a cherry jubilee, but with bananas! This is made beside your table, with a lovely fire show. Service: I have to stress the EXCELLENT service. Our water glasses are constantly filled, the waiters were not pretentious and were in fact very personable, making well-informed suggestions about what to order. They also know their wine list inside out. I also loved that they give roses to the ladies at the end of the night. One thing that was unnerving was when I was entering the tip amount into the credit card machine - it felt like the waiter was breathing down my neck trying to see how much percentage I would tip. I didn't give them 15% out of pressure, but just a note, it could annoy some people if they always do that. read more

I have been passing by Peter's for many times and wondering what's inside this standalone antique house. Finally, I was here! It seemed like stepping back into the past at the time I stepped inside this restaurant. The décor, wall paper, carpet and all the fixtures bought me back in time. We were greeted by a gentleman who looked like a classy butler. Our server was pleasant. We started with oyster Rockefeller, Caesar salad and bread. The salad was tossed right at our table and it was good. The bread came with butter which was in the shape of ball and size like a marble. Haven't been served with butter like this for ages. We had the T-bone steak. It was above average, but not Wowwww! read more

After 10+ years of driving by here with my parents regularly, I finally decided to take them here in celebration of my dad's birthday. I couldn't be happier with this decision. The food, service, and atmosphere were impeccable. We ordered 2 appetizers to share between 4 people: the petite coquille, and the smoked salmon. Both were amazing, but the petite coquille was the star of the night. The red spring filet of salmon, steak Dianne, peppercorn steak, and ribeye were ordered for our main courses. All the steaks were cooked to our preference, medium rare. Everyone left with a huge smile and a happy stomach. The roses they gave us at the end of dinner were a nice touch. I will definitely take my family here again for future nights out. This restaurant is a gem in this city. Classic food done right with great service and a warm ambience. read more

I took my sister and our s/o's here to celebrate my sister's purchase of a condo. We were looking for a good place to have steak that wasn't The Keg, and wasn't downtown. Peter's was exactly what we were looking for. I called in the late afternoon of the same day to secure a reservation last Friday night. They were very accomodating and nice on the phone. We arrived to find a good sized parking lot to the back of the building. We were greeted at the door and led to our table, where the chairs were pulled out for the ladies and drink orders were taken. Even though they are a fine dining facility, we saw some patrons casually dressed in jeans and shirts, so it was pretty casual in here. No need to dress up super nice. We were offered some delicious garlic bread, pickles and olives while we went over the menu. We ordered the Oysters Rockefellar - $19 - to share, there were 6 pieces total and all were big plump fresh juicy oysters that weren't overcooked. Very nice! We enjoyed this a lot. My sister and I ordered the Regular Cut Prime Rib - $36 - (nothing regular about this, this was a huge piece of tender juicy meat!). My favourite thing about this was it was soaked in the jus rather than having the jus in a tiny little sauce container on the side. Each entree comes with vegetables and a potato (fries, mash or baked). My bf ordered the Peter's Cut Prime Rib - $44 - this thing was HUGE. It was two inches thick with the bone in. Next time I go, I will order this one so I can have the rest for lunch and dinner the next day lol. My sister's bf ordered the Porterhouse - $50 - I didn't get to try this but it didn't look that good. And for $50, I guess it would be better next time to stick to what this place is known for and go with the Prime Rib. We were so stuffed after the mains (we all had leftovers to take home), we didn't have any room for dessert. I rather liked the decor of the place. It was old school looking but not at all dirty. Being a hardcore hockey fan, the hockey decor in the stairwell leading to the washroom, while a little bit random, was to me enjoyable. My only problem was the cost of bottled imported beer. One bottle of Heineken ($8.75) cost more than a pint of Moretti ($8.50). The ladies at the table each got a rose at the end of the meal. Nice surprise :) I would definitely come back for celebrations or just to satisfy any prime rib cravings I might be having. read more

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