Prime Seafood Palace is a modern steakhouse offering a selection of beef, seafood, and vegetables all sourced from purveyors we love and value. Unexpected - a space to truly experience in person. The main entry is located in a quiet courtyard, drawing patrons away from the humming activity of Queen Street West. Inspired by Matty Matheson’s travels, East Coast roots, and appreciation for architecture, the menu nods to the classic steakhouse tradition while highlighting seasonal ingredients.

    We had the 3 course opera menu before the show. The service was fast and efficient and we did not feel rushed and made the show time easily. The chocolate mousse was exceptional.

    (1) Server was attentive and helpful. She's very welcoming and gave us enough time to decide the meal we wanted to order. She also suggested an alternative to the steak sauce when we asked for one. (2) There's free parking across the resto (i.e. square one mall covered parking) but it's also convenient to use parking behind the resto itself. You just have to exchange your parking ticket with a validated one at the front desk before leaving which was also a very smooth and not too cumbersome process. (3) Tuna tartare was really good and even the lobster bisque. Sirloin and lobster were also delicious. Only minor thing about our steak was, one of the steaks was supposed to be medium well but it came as medium rare. Server did ask (when she did her rounds) how it was. We didn't bothered mentioning it to her anymore as we didn't want to make a fuss out of it but other than that, everything else was really good. Still highly recommend this place to anyone.
