Downtown for a show and decided to try Barberian’s.  We made a reservation a few days prior.

Friendly service, attentive staff, and the food was all delicious.  We had salad and shrimp cocktail to start and the rib steak and dry aged steak mains.  Try the horseradish with your steak, it’s a nice zing.  The pickled veggies are a great way to start the night.  Ambiance is dark and old school, and the ladies room was bright and spotless with Japanese toilets, yay!!

My friend and I had heard tell of how great this place was and decided to go on a weekend trip to Toronto. Come with a full wallet and an empty stomach because though this place is certainly premium priced, you get what you pay for. I've had many great steak dinners, but this is still probably the best I've ever had. The service was friendly and surprisingly fast, and the food was absolute perfection, exactly as ordered. I could also eat the complimentary pickled vegetables by the jar. I'll definitely go here again.

Delicious steaks and really nice staff + good service. It was very loud at dinner time and the decor is a bit dated, but it all really adds to the vibe. Really nice for a special occasion. We had to roll out of the restaurant because we were SO full after. We were also able to bring our own bottle of wine, they have a $75 corking fee. They bring a pickle plate after you’ve been seated as an appie and our steak came with a side which was nice to help fill us up 😋

Barberian’s Steakhouse is a true Toronto icon for good reason! The food and service are absolutely top-notch, a must-visit for steak lovers. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, and the lobster cocktail was the ideal indulgent starter (we ended up ordering one for desert as well). Their own unique flair is evident through many aspects of the dining experience- the pictures and artifacts which adorn the walls, as well as their iconic side dish: giant onion rings - crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside, a fun and alternative to a classic side. While the prices reflect the high quality, they are reasonable given the exceptional experience. If you’re looking for a classic steakhouse experience with unmatched attention to detail, Barberian’s is the place to be!

I cannot be more disappointed by both the food and the service. Got the dry aged bone-in New York strip with [limited] label on the menu. Ordered it in medium well but came closer to medium. Taste wise was very plain and really felt the meat was not up to quality expected. Sautéed mushroom cannot be more salty. Salmon steak came very tasteless. House salad may win in portion but not freshness and flavor. Tried their house red wine, not bad. The staff who served my table came with a whatever attitude.
