    Bread Service
    Bryan S.

    Probably the best Prime Rib I have ever had. The ambiance is warm and cozy. Reservations are a must because it does get really busy. Their service is immaculate. They'll hang your jackets once you walk in and give them right back to you once you walk out. They'll also explain every dish to you. Make sure you get the bread service. They offer variations of butter that all taste interestingly good. The Prime rib is super tender! This restaurant is a must try whenever in Toronto.

    The architecture of this place is really surprising-- especially considering that you can't see into the restaurant from the street. Even the washroom was noteworthy, with these huge ceilings and a skylight; it felt like being inside a pyramid chamber. Meanwhile, I've got to be honest, some of the food didn't blow us away: Mushrooms - bland and undercooked Chocolate cake - a bit too bitter and dense Scallops - tasty, but only three for $45? Wow. Steak - had the sliced prime for $120; it was enough to share and also take home. The outside of it was tasty, but the inside wasn't very flavourful, unfortunately. Meanwhile, there were two hits: Palace Bacon - you can get a half order of this for $16; it's just two pieces of pork belly, but it's a very tasty appetizer Palace Potatoes - similar to the ones you can get in Eataly, all layered and pressed and fried into cubes; a very fun way to eat a potato Lastly, it's worth mentioning that the staff were lovely. One thing I wish they would change: the menu isn't nearly descriptive enough, and the font is hard to read since it's all-caps.

    Came here for my birthday celebration and was super excited. However the food unfortunately fell short of expectations. We ordered bacon appetizer, lobster pasta, palace prime rib cut, potatoes and chocolate cake to finish. The bacon appetizer was decent but nothing special. The lobster pasta was good but nothing outstanding. The palace prime rib was the dish that fell out of my expectation due to that's what they are known for. The prime rib was chewy and hard to cut through and on top of that there was a hair that as on it. We flagged our server and she was kind, apologized and offered to remake it. Unfortunately we were no longer interested in getting a new one so they were kind enough to take it off the bill. Lastly the dessert, it looked really good when i saw it from another person who ordered. However the cake was a little too dry for my liking. Overall, I don't think I'll go again as I thought food was mediocre. But it was nice to experience it once.

    I finally made it to Prime Seafood Palace, and wow -- it lived up to the hype. The prime rib was perfection: tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The beef tartare was fresh and beautifully seasoned, and the potatoes were so good they could have been the star of the night on their own. Every bite felt intentional, and the service matched the quality of the food -- warm, attentive, and unpretentious. Definitely a must-visit if you want elevated comfort food done right. Also, huge mention is that the staff was well versed on being able to make or adjust plates to be gluten free. Being someone who needs that, it made me feel super relieved that I could enjoy without fear! The actual restaurant itself was very vibey. The ambiance was super hip and would make a great date spot or place to take customers for an impressive meal.

    My favourite food dishes were hands down the lobster spaghetti, octopus and the bread believe it or not. The prime rib is good, just not my favourite cut. The service was great, it was 12 of us for our birthday and we were loud as hell enjoying our time and they never bothered us once, and they were always on standby to assist us. My friend even took a picture with the chefs in the kitchen. It's a tucked away restaurant with real intimate seating, I love it.

    Been wanting to try this spot for a while and finally got to it. I tried their Sicilian Crudo, Steak Tartare, Prime Rib Roast Palace Cut, Palace Potatoes, and Palace Sauce. I enjoyed every dish, but especially enjoyed the fresh crudo and tender prime rib roast the most. The sashimi was very fresh and the sauce was light, not overpowering, and complimented the cuts very well! The prime rib had an easy bite and was very tender. We also tried the palace sauce with our steak (which they recommended) - it's like a tangy ketchup which I surprisingly enjoyed. Their steak tartare was quite unique. It had an Asian twist to it with the sesame seeds and also came with buttered toast (not something I see, I prefer a crunch with my tartare). I know the palace potatoes are quite a hit here, but I personally did not enjoy it as much (maybe due to personal preference, I prefer a mash). I could see why people like it though and I appreciate all the layers! Very cozy and intimate vibes! Great service. Would be a lovely spot for date night or small group dinner. 4.5/5

    I came here with a friend on a Monday night. We made reservations about a month in advance, which I would recommend. It really books up! For dinner, we shared the chicory salad, sliced 12oz prime rib, and a Yorkshire pudding. All of the food was excellent. For dessert, we tried the key lime pie. Beautiful ambiance, fantastic service, and delicious food. What more could you ask for?

    As a fan of Matty and The Bear, I was excited to try Prime Seafood Palace. The space is stunning - I especially love the wooden beams creating a fluted effect from floor to ceiling. The main floor bathroom is also unlike any other. We came as a group of 6 right upon opening at 5PM and were seated in a booth. I would recommend the Palace Potatoes, Summer Squash, and Neapolitan Ice Cream. Skip the Lobster Spaghetti - though everything is on the more expensive side, this was by far the dish with the least value. The food was delicious overall - PSP is definitely not your average meal. Unfortunately, our dinner was tainted by the service from our primary waiter. From the start, he was extremely pushy in trying to get us to order more. He seemed to judge each one of our selections, even though at the end, we felt like we had a reasonable amount of food for our group size. I wish I wasn't as impacted by this individual's behaviour, as all other staff we interacted with seemed lovely. I'd still recommend a visit to PSP for the experience, especially if it is a special occasion. However, I think there are much better fine dining options in Toronto.

    Absolutely delicious and beautiful in here! Came for a wedding at Prime Seafood Palace and was absolutely blown away with a full house. I've been wanting to check this spot out since I've heard numerous great things about it. Everyone always talks about their aesthetic museum like washroom so make sure to check that out on the main floor, not the ones that are in the basement. It has a really high sky light which makes it very open and grand! Service here was impeccable and there was a sommelier on site tasting all the wines before they get poured! Loved watching the sommelier at work, professionally tasting each bottle and respectfully spitting it out. The food here was absolutely amazing and such high quality. Here's what we had: Steak tartare, buttered toast 5/5 - Fresh, delicious and paired so well with the buttered toast. Toast was so light, fluffy and freshly baked. Sicilian crudo 5/5 - Loved this. It was plated beautifully with the trio of colours on a beautiful green sauce. Palace bacon 4/5 - Sweet and fatty. Definitely on the more savoury salty side. Shrimp cocktail 5/5 - Large and plump shrimps that were cooked and chilled perfectly. Gem lettuce 5/5 - This salad looked super plain but was soo delicious with the salad dressing! Palace cut prime rib 5/5 - The highlight of the evening. A big piece of prime rib that was cut into small pieces that was great for sharing. Cooked to a perfect medium rare and had an au jus that was delectable. Tender, tasty and a must order. Palace potatoes 5/5 - Layer potatoes that are fried to perfection. Comes with a delicious aioli for pairing. Loved this potato dish, went perfectly with the prime rib. Grilled caesar salad 3/5 - Can skip on this salad. This surprisingly was not as good as the gem lettuce that we had as the starter. Chocolate cake 5/5 - Super moist and delectable chocolate cake. Definitely end your meal with this. This spot is so good and I'd highly recommend it. Come for a special occassion or a date if you wish. Definitely coming here for some quality delicious food!

    WOW! What an experience and treat this was. We were sat at the bar - party of two and really got to chatting with the bar tender to get her experience and listen to her recommendations. We started with the lobster pasta and then onto the mains. The steak we got was cooked to perfection, I can't describe it other than WOW! We ended off the meal with the chocolates cake with was so decadent. Definitely a place I would return to for a celebration or special occasion

    I always have a few concerns when visiting a celebrity chef establishment, you should have no concerns coming to Prime Seafood. I sat at the bar and had an incredible meal. Two of the dishes were among the best I ever had. Started with the Sicilian crudo, which I strongly recommend. Three nicely cut pieces of beautiful fish, in a parsley and salt crudo that both complemented the fish and was unique. But the meal got better. I had one slice of the bacon (they were nice enough to offer a single slice as I was dining solo) and it was incredible. Not only was the bacon great (sumptuous pork belly), it was so good I had to order another slice. As I told the bartender, best bacon ever. I could have gone home content then but the prime rib possibly upstaged the bacon. I love prime rib and it seems to be experiencing a renaissance (second time I've had it in a week), this may have been my best prime rib experience ever. Every bite was bursting with flavor, it was incredible. I had both the beets and turnip pie as side, they were okay but upstaged by the other food. I was stuffed at this point but had to try dessert, I went with the maple tart. It was not what I expected, a large piece of Brie on a pastry, I love cheese but after all the meat I was a little burnt out. Long story short, go, and definitely try the crudo, bacon and prime rib.

    Leafy greens

    What a fabulous dining experience - everything from the ambiance, service, and food was almost perfect. I came here for a birthday dinner recently and was immediately amazed by the gorgeous architecture of the space. I also liked how the music wasn't too loud and it was very easy to have conversations with your table. I've noticed that a lot of restaurants these days really blast music which makes it hard to converse. Service was very attentive and friendly. Our server offered great recommendations since it was our first time here. For two people, we ordered the steak tartare, lobster and spaghetti, palace cut prime rib (20 oz), Bearnaise sauce, and leafy greens. This was a little too much food for us since the prime rib was very heavy. The steak tartare also comes with buttered toast. I would have probably taken out the lobster and spaghetti and gotten the Yorkshire pudding or potatoes instead. This would be a great spot for a group of 3-4 because the prime rib felt a little too much for just two of us. They also have an extensive wine menu and a nice red wine paired great with the prime rib. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5-star is because the lobster spaghetti was underwhelming for $50 and only had a few tiny chunks of lobster in it. The leafy greens was also very basic and didn't really add to the meal. Everything else was fairly priced for the level of service and ambiance. All in all a great spot for a date night or celebration with friends!

We ordered a bunch of things to share and the table ended up being full pretty quickly. Rock shrimp to start, truffle fries with truffle aioli, a wagyu caesar salad, half roasted chicken, and king oyster mushrooms. Everything was good, but the rigatoni completely stole the show. Creamy, spicy, perfectly cooked pasta and one of those dishes where you keep going back for another bite even when you're already full. Drinks were solid too. The Pornstar Martini and the Hot & Bothered were both great and fit the vibe of the place. The space feels polished but still lively, especially around the bar. Definitely the kind of spot that works for a night out, drinks with friends, or a late dinner. If you go, do not skip the spicy vodka rigatoni. I would come back just for that.

We came around 5 pm and chose to just get shareable items before our show. Menu is burgers, salad, pasta, steak and seafood etc., most with lobster in the food description. Service is very good. When we arrived we were offered a complimentary glass of Chardonnay and during dinner we were check in on at least 3 times with once being the manager of the evening. What was ordered: Chicken sliders - 3 to an order; just okay, nothing spectacular LBB nachos - drizzled with lobster cheese sauce but no actual pieces of lobster; nacho chips seem old Lobster Mac and Cheese ($36.00) - you can taste bits of lobster in the dish but flavor wise was nothing amazing.

Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. One thing worth noting is that if you're provided with a menu, not everything listed is available as part of the buffet. Certain seafood dishes and desserts are reserved for à la carte service, which wasn't immediately obvious. The experience started a little inconsistently. Some tables received a welcome drink while others did not, and there didn't appear to be any explanation for the difference. The atmosphere also wasn't quite what I expected. It often felt as though the dining room was geared more toward content creation than enjoying a leisurely meal. Buffet lines became quite long at times as some guests paused to set up ring lights and film multiple shots before moving on. Throughout the afternoon, ring lights remained in use at several tables, and a few groups could be heard repeating their toasts to capture the perfect video. While I understand that's part of the social media culture today, it did take away from what could have been a more relaxed dining experience. As for the food, it was enjoyable but ultimately didn't stand out. Given the restaurant's reputation, I had expected a bit more in terms of quality and freshness. Toronto has no shortage of excellent sushi restaurants, many of which offer a stronger culinary experience in a more relaxed setting. One interaction with the manager also left me a little puzzled. While checking in with our table, he seemed surprised to learn that we were locals, mentioning that most guests he speaks with are visiting from out of town. Considering the restaurant's location beside one of the city's major theatres in the Entertainment District, I wasn't sure why that was unexpected. He then shared that he never leaves the city for anything, which made for an unusual conversation and didn't feel especially relevant to our dining experience. Overall, I can understand why the restaurant appeals to those looking for a lively, social media-friendly outing. For me, however, the focus seemed to lean more toward the atmosphere than the food itself. While I'm glad I gave it a try, I don't think it would be my first choice the next time I'm looking for a sushi buffet

I have been to the Sutton Place hotel many times since I have friends living in the condos there, but this was a first to settle in to this beautiful heritage building dining room and take in the ambiance and vibe. It's a great location being right at the corner of Blue Jays Way and King with a nice view of the streetscape through the large windows, yet set back comfortably from the action outside. The evening in January brought some fluffy lazy snow dropping out of the sky which added to the drama of the view and the added context for our meal extravaganza that was coming for us. Check out my photos for the menu items that we tried, all ordered a la carte and from the menu for January 2026 that I have also included in my review. When each dish arrives, the server describes what it is which is nice. But with a larger table, a typical noisy din on a busy Saturday evening, often diners can't hear or understand what was said. Some of us would appreciate if the servers would slow down, and make sure we heard more clearly what we were in store for with each amazing dish. Otherwise, our service was great! The asians at the table appreciated the tea served in the typical familiar glass teapots when I asked what they wanted to drink, knowing that they were not into beer or cocktails like westerners, or even the other typical non-alcoholic beverages available. That helped make them happy with hanging out for an extended time in the fine dining tradition. We did have to ask for the servers to keep the tea flowing to our table, since that is part of the idea and the shared experience that needed inclusivity. The server explained that the menu was a mediterranean sharing menu, so we felt like we were a family. The free flowing tea dove-tailed nicely with that theme. It was a bit of a learning experience for the Abrielle staff to see that hey, we needed more tea cups and more tea for everyone!! Not just the teetotallers in the group, us beer drinkers want to be included too : ) When we turned down the dessert options it was a nice VIP touch that they brought out a little bite of a matcha mousse sweet at the end which was super tasty!
