Reviews for Barberian's Steak House in Toronto, ON
Food was great. Delicious and cooked perfectly. However I felt the service was a tad 'rough'. Didn't feel very welcomed.
Barberian's lived up to the hype! One of the best I have had yet! Apps are not bad either, my personal favorite is jumbo shrimp... with that bomb sauce. Love the setting and decor inside! Definitely going back! Read more
Decent steak house with decent food but not so great ambience and service. I had heard great reviews about this place so I had... quite high expectations coming in. However, the moment we were seated very close to another table, I didn't have a good feeling(esp given Covid, I would've expected more distancing). It felt crowded, loud, and dark with no sense of privacy. But I supposeit's a restaurant downtown with limited space so I was able to look past that. When it came to the food, I got the dry-aged ribsteak, and I felt the steak was a bit over-salted and tough to cut through/chew some parts. My boyfriend asked for his steakmedium rare but it looked very much rare as it came red. The best things we had that night were the Caesar salad (grilled porkis a nice touch), and the fries (crispy and nice). Unfortunately, the steaks were nothing to rave home about. Their portions arelarge however, so it will fill you up even without bread/butter (which they don't provide). Service wise, I felt our server justdid the bare minimum. He didn't attempt to make a conversation with us or explain any of the dishes. I suppose we expected topnotch service and food from a restaurant that has been around so long and so highly rated. Sad to say, it didn't live up to ourexpectations and will probably not return again. Read more
First time going to this place and all I gotta say is, food is great (even at its price) but the staff and service take the... cake. Worth every penny. The wine cellar is a must visit, just ask and they should be able to show you. Had my friend?s bachelorparty here and it was a superb experience. Will be back for sure.

I had high expectations for this steakhouse and unfortunately the service was mediocre which was a huge disappointment. Our... server 'RR' didn't make any eye contact with us while at our table. Almost forgot about our side orders as well. The fooditself was excellent! We had the potato croquettes, steak tartare, dry aged steak, filet mignon and the chocolate lava cake. Thebeef was cooked perfectly to our liking. Read more
Steaks here are excellent, and service was phenomenal as well! Very classic old school decor and atmosphere in the restaurant,... and they have a very large list of drinks available. Food menu is a bit smaller, but it's done very well, and this is asteakhouse, so this type of menu is expected. Read more
Old feel restaurant like we are in the 70-80's no need to renovate the food here is fantastic. For the wine lovers there are... hundreds if not thousands of bottles to choose from. The meat lovers, my ribsteak was cooked to perfection and the 28 days ofresting really tenderized the meat giving it a soft moist and not chewing steak like other places. They have their own spicesso it's not just a slab of meat and some salt. It was very flavourful and I really enjoyed it. The baked potato was just oknothing special, they could definitely use some more options for the sides other than fries, baked potato, and onion rings. Butyou don't come to this restaurant for the sides or the apps. More the meat and the wine. The service was like no other. Theyconstantly checked in, topped up our drinks and were very quick to clean the table and replace our cutlery. Great job loved theservice. Would definitely come here. Read more
Food was spectacular, as so was service. We came late in the night and was greeted and taken care of with such kindness, even... though we didn't dress as properly as the other customers. The food came quickly and everything was very delicious. We got oursteak medium since my mom cannot eat raw meat, and she enjoyed it very much. It was a bit cold inside, but other than that we'dlove to pay another visit soon. Read more
