Prime seafood palace is seriously next level! The restaurant is clean; and super pretty! The inside looks like you're in a luxurious lobster trap. PSP did not miss on any details. The even had fresh candles burning in the bathroom. Our server Daniel was one of a kind, he made us feel like we were regulars; and he was incredibly knowledgeable. He had recommendations for everything and answered all of our questions with grace. Now let's get to the good part. The FOOD! We started with caviar, lobster pasta, scallops, and bacon, from there we moved on to the main - The Australian wagyu and the prime rib was the best meal I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection. And so tender. Accompanying the meet, we had some mashed potatoes; palace potatoes which are 26 layers of potato, and mushrooms. read more

Was eager to try this place after reading so many good reviews and it did not disappoint. Service was very friendly, especially the sommelier, who was extremely helpful in picking a nice wine. We started off with the crudo and the polenta bread which were both amazing. The crudo was among the best I've ever had and the bread came with an assortment of butters, each one addictive. Finished the whole loaf. They also were nice enough to give me one slice of bacon, which I pretty much inhaled. We then ordered the lobster spaghetti and the prime rib, which was as flavorful as any prime rib I've had without the bone. Our server recommended horseradish (a $4 extra charge, which seems petty). I don't think necessary as the meat was so flavorful. The spaghetti was delicious, but so creamy and rich, it was hard to finish. I'd recommend sharing it. Had the kale gratin as a side, which was perfect. Finished off with the chocolate cake which was really good!. We will definitely return! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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? read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Wow! What a beautiful restaurant. Once you step off Queen West into the establishment you are transported to a clean, calm welcoming environment. The service was spectacular. Our waiter was so helpful in understanding the menu. The food and cocktails were first class. Cocktails and wine were great. The Gin Fizz were so good! Tuna tartar with rhubarb was a unique flavor combination. That was served with delicious house made shrimp crackers. Mains of Duck and Filet mignon were cooked perfectly. Sides of Yorkshire Pudding and Morels&Asparagus were great. Not a cheap evening but for a special occasion so, so worth it. Definitely a foodie fun night! read more

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! read more

While in Toronto for my wife to write her architect licensing exam, we booked a reservation at PSP to celebrate the culmination of two days of exams. Designed by Nova Scotian starchitect Omar Gandhi, the interior is a stunning mix of light wood, clean lines, and warmth, all under a soaring cathedral ceiling that all belies its subdued exterior. We had a somewhat late reservation, and having snacked earlier, we didn't go gangbusters on food (and our wallets were better off for it). We stuck with smaller dishes and leaned on our knowledgeable, but chill, server for some suggestions. We ended up going with a couple of their house specialties - the Palace Bacon and Palace Potatoes - as well as a radicchio salad for something vaguely healthy. Having never tried uni (sea urchin) before, I figured that Prime would be the place to do it and tacked that on as well. While all the dishes were absolutely delicious, the Palace Potatoes took top billing. Over two dozen alternating layers of potato slices and duck fat are in each cube, and they're spectacularly crisp on the outside, while velvety smooth and rich inside. Topped with a generous dusting of sea salt, they're so good that you almost don't want to bother with the side of chili aioli, but this mix of garlic and spice is definitely worth a dip or two. The Palace Bacon was no slouch either, with the unctuous pork belly being a char siu-esque treatment, and a hefty char. Sweet, savoury and loaded with fat and flavour, it's a dish that you'll want to devour but it's best to revel in smaller bites. My uni experience was one of luxury, with the creamy sea urchin meat blending almost seamlessly with the egg custard it was served on top of. Any semblance of balance is thrown out the window here, with an umami overload that I was 100% here for. With so many big flavours and rich dishes, the salad may not have been winning any friends (as salads famously can't), it was a blessed reprieve for taste buds that were bordering on overload, with the tartness of the greens (purples?) and acidity of the dressing helping to cleanse the palate. Prime Seafood Palace may have the name of strip mall Chinese restaurant, but these guys know what they're doing and our evening of fantastic food in a beautiful space won't be soon forgotten. read more

A small but extremely well executed menu presented in a stunning, contemporary architectural space. Straight to it, THE standout dish, the uni chawanmushi (sea urchin on egg custard). Take a silky smooth pumpkin egg custard, drizzle on some sesame oil for richness then top with a generous amount of fresh, umami supercharged uni. Velvety, creamy, sublime. The smoked trout w/ cornmeal waffles no slouch either. Hot smoked, trout, oozing with rich oil tops a flavorful, gritty cornmeal waffle. Add some cured trout roes and some fresh dill and tarragon for a satisfying few bites. Finally if raw fish is your thing, get the Sicilian crudo. Sashimi slices of bluefin tuna, king salmon and kingfish (king mackerel) are served in a pond of citrus zest and herb infused olive oil. Squeeze some fresh lemon over top and it makes for great eats. To the beef, this is Ontario so its gotta be Ontario beef. The menu says 40oz Norfolk tomahawk but it's a reference to the Norfolk Cattle Ranch and not the Norfolk breed of cow. Oops. It surprisingly taste exactly the same as good pasture raised USDA prime beef in the States. OK trim (fat is flavor), excellent sear, properly cooked to temp and for some reason sat in a pool of drippings and stock. Finally, do get the "Palace potatoes". Cubes of a potato mille feuille (thin slices of potatoes dipped in clarified butter, stacked on one another before being baked, allowed to cool, cut into pieces then fried crisp. It's served with rich aioli topped with chilies and chili oil. Utterly addicting. Friendly, efficient service that creates a warm energy in the eatery. Excellent wine program with a good selection of Canadian producers. Fair pricing. Dinner for four inclusive of cocktails, wine, service and whopping 13 percent HST, $1200CAD ($880USD). Talk about a deal. Highly recommended. read more

Beautiful interior of wooden paneling. Very much gives palace. Food and service both stellar. Steak here was perfect.

Great Food! I will say that the food was good and the taste was good, service was on par with a high class restaurant but for what you get it is a little bit over priced. The decor was good but somewhat plain. Don't get me wrong, it looked nice but I expected more! Now when you pay $135 for a 20oz prime rib you want it to wow you, it didn't! Yes it tasted good but sorry to say I have tasted just as good if not better for less than half the price. The Lobster pasta dish for $50 was a little lite let's just say! Come on pasta is one of the cheapest things on the menu, add a little bit more pasta and Lobster! You're paying $50 I think if you just add double the pasta that would help. I think this place is good but a reduction in price of about 20% would make it better. Everyone was really friendly and greeting you with a smile. read more

The scent of the grill is hypnotizing. Matheson's menu is well-curated, focusing on (surprise, surprise) fresh seafood dishes and proteins cooked on the grill, with an emphasis on quality ingredients and expert preparation, which justifies the above average price point. One of the most impressive aspects of Prime Seafood Palace is the level of service. Servers are professional, knowledgeable and attentive, with a genuine passion for the food and a desire to create an exceptional dining experience. read more

Thick pieces of blue fin tuna, kampachi, and king salmon are showcased in the Sicilian crudo ($45 for a small), cut to a sashimi-like thickness. There is no shortage of olive oil used in the crudo, the fish swimming in a plate of it. Yet, despite all the herbs, dish lacked flavour; if only they reduced the oil and added a sprinkle of salt instead. Cheese and seafood aren't a popular combination. Despite that, the delicate thinly sliced grilled Humboldt squid ($34) went remarkably well with creamy Stracciatella cheese. Maitake mushrooms, being a lighter fungus, didn't detract from the squid and dairy's natural flavours, the combination so tasty heaped onto a piece of well-toasted sourdough. Of all the starters, this was my favourite. The Palace bacon ($18 for 3 pieces, extra $6 to add the fourth) was also delightful, a char sui flavoured pork belly that's sticky and sweet. The fat was well-rendered, so the pork belly simply melted in my mouth. Delicious on its own (not overly salty), it could be equally tasty sandwiched in in a soft bao bun. In hindsight, I should have put a piece of bacon into the molasses bread. For $21, the bread service was rather disappointing. Sure, the molasses bread was fragrant and unique - it was like having gingerbread in a bun form - but the accompaniments were lacklustre... the butter needed salt, the mustard pickles run-of-the-mill, and the kippered mussels weren't the freshest tasting. If it weren't for our waitress' long story about how this was Matheson's grandmother's recipe and filled with East Coast charm, we would have skipped the bread service all together. Perhaps I should have relied on my own instincts as I found her recommendations to be a let down. While the cote de boeuf ($275) was a beautiful cut of beef and cooked well, it was just so bland. Strangely, some Google reviews claim dishes are too salty, I wonder if the kitchen is overcompensating and has simply started under seasoning everything. At least our waitress warned us that the cote de boeuf was neutral and suggested an order of sauce. The grilled onion chimichurri ($8) seemed like a logical choice but was too fussy - the mustard or wasabi added gave it a bitter after taste and detracted from the beef. Give me a simple chimichurri any day; or better yet, just some salt and pepper on the steak. read more

Have you watched "The Bear"? A show about the restaurant business. I highly recommend it. I can't wait for the next season. If you love dining out, then you'll probably love seeing how the magic happens at the back and that's what the show is about. This restaurant was opened by the producer, cast member, and Canadian chef Matty Matheson. He must be a pretty incredible guy, cos his restaurant stands on its on two feet. I heard good things about it, and was enjoying everything here long before I found out about its ties to the show and Matty. Congrats! Great spot. Loved the bread service and the prime rib. read more

Went here for a hosted event and it was delightful. Will be back. Nicely decorated, we sat in the room facing the patio and there was a chef station behind us so that we could watch them create the cold dishes. The washroom is cool. Don't forget to look up! Service was attentive and professional. Fitting for the restaurant. Had a variety of dishes: Sicilian Crudo: Ok. Not a fan of crudos. Piece of fish were fresh and quite large Smoked trout, cornmeal waffle, cured roe, herbs: Delicious. One of my favourites. This is deconstructed so you put it together yourself. Large portions. Molasses bread, kippered mussels, mustard pickles, cultured butter: This was ok Palace bacon: Above abverage. But too much sauce. Very hyped but missed a bit for me. Lobster and Spaghetti: Fantastic. Couldn't stop eating this. Chicory salad, pine nuts, celtic blue: Refreshing and nice. A good salad. Bone-in Norfolk striploin: Excellent. Great char and nice and thick Prime Rib Roast: Also fantastic Possibly the best roast in Toronto Yorkshire pudding: Fantastic. Delicious and airy. Huge Blue Goose Creamed Greens: Didn't like this too much. There was a sour note I wasn't thrilled with. Sieglinde Potatoes: Incredible. These are amazing. Desserts were key lime pie (nice), chocolate cake (good) and Neapolitan that was three types of ice cream scoops one of which was apple flavoured which was great. read more

The bathroom at Prime Seafood Palace was clean and well-maintained. The decor matched the overall upscale feel of the restaurant, with elegant fixtures and a Japanese inspired ambiance. There were ample amenities, and it was clear that hygiene is a priority here. The food was exceptional, living up to the restaurant's reputation, the dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere at Prime Seafood Palace was sophisticated yet relaxed. The interior design featured elegant nautical themes, with warm lighting and comfortable seating. It felt upscale but welcoming. I sat inside this time, but would definitely like to sit outdoors the next time I return. The security guard at the front was very welcoming and funny, setting a positive tone for the evening right from the start. His friendly demeanour added a unique touch to the overall experience, making us feel at ease even before we stepped inside. read more

We were seated at the bar and our first encounter was with Molly who was very charming and extremely helpful. I had brought a bottle of Champagne which they immediately put on ice while I enjoyed an excellent French 75. My friend started with the Sicilian Crudo, basically sashimi of tuna, kingfish and salmon floating in olive oil and an herb that might have been basil. My first thought was, why would you want to take fish that already has its own natural oil and add more oil? It didn't work and as a result was a huge disappointment. Her main dish was the filet mignon, which tasted okay, accompanied by wild mushrooms which were also, just okay. I had the Beluga Caviar and Accoutrements, the latter being potato chips, tiny hash brown squares, finely chopped shallots and creme fraiche. Potato chips? The hashed brown squares were greasy and introduced an element to the dish that was not compatible. It was disappointing. My main was the A5 Wagyu from Australia. It was excellent. However, it came with a ponzu sauce and raw egg that I found to be unnecessary; a little sea salt was all it needed. I had a side order of peppers, very nice, and the Palace potatoes which I was told consisted of "26 or 28 layers"; they were nothing special and had an element of greasiness. The Key Lime pie was good. I think the classic dishes, sashimi and caviar, can be ruined by a chef's misguided idea that olive oil and potato chips can improve the experience. Simple soy sauce and blinis, respectively, are all that would be necessary. To me it reeks of pretension. The restaurant has no softness to its decor, and we found it very noisy. The staff was first class and very professional. By the way, my Champagne was excellent but wasted on a below average dinner. Overall, a huge disappointment that offered no value for the price. read more

We saw a nice patio set up in a darker area of Queen west and wondered what restaurant this was. We happened upon a door with NO sign on it and went in to find the most gorgeously designed restaurant. The servers were very friendly, had us hang around until a table was ready for us. We literally just had a bottle of wine and dessert. The maple tart is a must try! The service was incredible. It wasnt the wine that made everything feel so rosey. Everything about this place was wonderful. read more

Usually with large parties we have to deal with a minimum spend, set menus, auto gratuities etc. I was pleasantly surprised when an upscale place such as this had no set menu and no minimum spend OR auto grat. We ordered: Sea urchin toro toast: Needs no explanation, the creaminess from the uni and the fattiness of toro is always a good combo! Sicilian crudo, kampachi, king salmon: Even though the fish was fresh, I tasted fishiness. The sauce was full of herbs and olive oil which is maybe not my first choice way of serving Lobster spaghetti: This was delicious! The lobster chunks were big and plump, but the spaghetti could have been boiled a touch longer (too al dente) Steak tartare: This had nice flavors but I wish it was served with a bread or cracker that had a bit of crunch, the bread it was served with was too fluffy with the tartare Cote de boeuf: A good steak, but I think we actually ordered the wrong one Carrot tart: This looked nice in pictures but there was one flavor that was so overpowering, our entire group of 12+ were mindboggeled by what it was. We later found it out that it was a type of very pungent goat cheese. Needless to say our server took this off our bill Palace potatoes: these tasted just as i thought they would; crispy and buttery Baby gem lettuce: A basic salad, which was light and refreshing to balance our meal Buttered turnips- These were delicious, especially since I've never really had turnips in a dish where they're the main event. The overall menu is quite pricey (2 piece uni toast was $100) so I definitely recommend coming with 4+ to try more of their menu. The menu is meant for family style-sharing, though some portions are smaller which meant we needed to double up. The interior of the private room had a warm yet elegant vibe. It also was nice that one of the chef's plating stations was in the private room, so we were able to watch some of the food being assembled! Our waiter was so friendly and personable which also contributed to our great experience! Would be back to try more of their menu! read more

We chose this restaurant for a special occasion knowing the prices were outrageous. I had a gastronomic delight with the halibut and the lobster and tomatoes and green bean tempura, which my husband shared. All amazing! My husband ordered the 12 oz Prime Rib. 5 oz of it was fat. He said he had better prime rib at Outback Steakhouse. He was very disappointed. The bill was $430 including tip. My tip to you is choose another restaurant. read more

We made reservations at the bar a few weeks before to celebrate a birthday and were excited. The restaurant is located in an inconspicuous building on Queen St. W. When you walk in, the wood-filled interior is stunning, and so are the two washrooms, where you notice small details which elevate the aesthetic appeal of the restaurant. Going in, we did have high expectations as it was Matty Matheson's restaurant. For two people, we decided to splurge and ordered the sea urchin on toast ($90), crudo (small, $45), lobster and spaghetti ($45), prime rib roast sliced ($90), and palace potatoes ($21). We enjoyed the crudo and the lobster spaghetti. The crudo was fresh, and the lobster spaghetti was creamy and buttery. The biggest disappointment was the sea urchin on a toasted bun. Sea urchin is expensive as it is, and because of the toast, you could barely taste the sea urchin. There were too many textures and flavours packed into 2-4 bites. We got the prime rib roast with the house gravy. The prime rib took an hour to arrive, and our server gifted us a bottle of water to compensate. The sauce was good, but the prime rib was chewy, and we couldn't finish it. The service was terrific, but we were disappointed by the food. read more

Há- just read the review that is previous to mine- I also loved the bread service and the prime rib. What not to get though- uni toast- could not taste the uni or the tuna... only toast! For 90 something dollars for 2 servings.... It was very sad. I tried the uni by itself and... very fresh! But the dish does not highlight the main events. Lobster pasta also just okay- despite what was said on Google reviews- my fault for reading Google reviews. Drinks menu was just okay- nothing shaken, only stirred, so we were told. We sat at the bar so service was a bit... choppy? Lacklustre? I'm not sure. We will be back for..... Yes bread service and prime rib. read more

I've been waiting a long time to try this place and never had the chance until recently. Although reservations are easier to come by, I would still recommend booking a few weeks in advance. I believe reservations open 30 days in advance. It's definitely on the pricier end of Matty Matheson's but quite honestly I think it was worth the price. The prime rib was extremely good and I want to come back to try their steak. There wasn't a dish I didn't like. Highly recommend the squid, potatoes, and lobster pasta. It's a beautiful restaurant, making it a great place to bring a date, clients, or just people you want to impress for a meal. read more

This contemporary steak & seafood house restaurant has a delicious range of items. Upon arrival, the restaurant is not easily spotted from the outside as there is no noticeable signage. Entry is off the side and the interior is full of woodwork carried throughout the restaurant. We recommend booking a reservation a week or two in advance as this place gets booked up quickly. The menu was decently sized, and we definitely over ordered on the food for our group. 1. Sea Urchin Toro Toast Multi-layered with toro, and topped off with sea urchin. This dish came with 3 pieces, and was tasty. We enjoyed the crunch from the toast and amounts of toro and uni. 2. Steak Tartare Recommend by our server, this dish was just ok. We couldn't recall anything rememberable about this dish, if it was good or not. 3. Bread Service A fluffy and soft bun, this was paired with mussels, butter and mustard pickles. It was a good starter dish, and easy to share. 4. Caviar This was definitely one of the highlights of the night, served with creme fraiche, chives, shallots and chips. The chips were thin and light, easy to eat with the caviar. 5. Lobster & Spaghetti Exactly what you would expect. Tasty dish, and good amounts of lobster. 6. Prime Rib Roast This was definitely our favourite dish of the night, super tender and juicy. We definitely enjoyed the centre middle pieces more than the ends. 7. Bone-in Striploin Nothing can go wrong with a classic striploin steak, although the prime rib was better. 8. Fluke A fish dish that was just ok. The plate had a butter sauce, trout roe and some herbs. We also ordered some of the veggies, sides and sauces to pair with our dishes. - palace potatoes - Yorkshire pudding - Baby gem salad - Carrot tart These were carb heavy, and we only tried a little of each. The palace potatoes were one of the more memorable sides as it was a cute square shape with multiple thin layers of potato. Overall, this is a solid spot for a nice dinner out. We enjoyed the ambiance and our time spent here. read more

This was a special visit (birthday) to a special restaurant. From the very beginning at the time you walk in, someone is making you very comfortable at being a guest. If you want/expect a pretentious experience, this is not the place for you. Our servers were there for us. We had two primary servers. The male server (whose name I forgot, sorry) and Sarah. Both were exceptional. We also had mixed (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) cocktails. The bartender made some beautiful and tasty drinks. Simply....the food was great. I noticed that another table received some potato chips with caviar. I asked our male server if we could get the chips and he said he would get some for us. Big fan of homemade chips! Great! Definitely, going to return during the Summer. Thank you! 70 is the new 40! read more

Food was okay. The steak was good as it is known for their steaks. We also ordered a fish which was not so good. They are also known for their potatoes, which are layered and deep fried into a cube shape. Overall service was okay and atmosphere was nice for a date night. read more

Prime Seafood Palace - Seafood Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is truly a standout. Incredible service - kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. Casual but elevated vibe. And holy cow (ha) the steak and all food was delicious. Yes its expensive but this is absolutely worth it - far above some of the other "top" steakhouses in downtown GTA. read more
