Best Steak Restaurants in Chinatown / Kensington Market

It was my cousin’s birthday and we had tickets to see the Moulin Rouge show right after. We let the gentleman overseeing our table know and he made sure we got everything in time and made it out early too. Everything was amazing. Tye was super patient and attentive, and made excellent recommendations for wine, food, and dessert. All the staff were amazing, kind, and helpful. The food was delicious and we can’t wait to come again. My aunt’s exact words were “best restaurant in Toronto I have ever been to”. Thank you Hy for making us feel welcomed and caring about our time even more than us.

We had a good experience with our lunch with Ears. The servers were great and food was excellent. Only think we had bit issue was with the seating arrangement, it was bit small and we had to squeeze.

The food was amazing! The futo maki is one of the best sushi’s I’ve ever had. The drinks were great - however, based on the prices of sushi, the drinks were a little expensive ($25). It was my girlfriend’s birthday and the free Prosecco and the wine cork gift made up for it. 9/10 recommendation 🙂

I went to Aera ( in The Well ) with my sister who lives in BC and she wanted a rooftop with a good view. Aera is 38 stories and has an amazing view of downtown Toronto . We were at the Chef's counter and had a great views of the CN Tower. The host was great. She showed us two options for seating, where we were reserved and one more option. I had the mac and cheese which was delicious. They put mushroom and onion in it. And we each had a cocktail. I had the Amelia, I think it was called. It was tasty but quite small, that was the only thing. My sister's cocktail was a more reasonable size. The guys beside us had a cheeseburger and it looked so good! The service was great . They server was friendly and service was fairly quick . The restaurant is on the more pricey side and so are the drinks. But if you are looking for a great view of the city it's worth it. I definetly recommend and would go again.

Food was excellent. Ambiance was great. Service was exceptional. One star was lost because of two things: (1) the table was not wiped before giving us the dessert menu. There were crumbs on the table; (2) the Negroni did not have the big square ice cube but had ice chunks. Excuse given by server was lame - they had no room to store the ice cubes.
