Phenomenal restaurant! My partner and I enjoyed our dinner, and the desserts were fantastic (highly recommend the lemon cake). But what I really can’t over-emphasize is how amazing the service was. We were helped by several people, and they were all just so incredibly warm, kind, and thoughtful. So attentive and it was obvious to us that they really cared. We went back for breakfast the next day, and I had one of the most amazing waffle dishes of my life (and again, the service was spectacular!).

This was one of the best steakhouse experiences I’ve had in a long time! We went for our wedding dinner and it was great. They were very nice, super helpful, and treated us amazing. They even brought out extra stuff for us which was so nice and they didn’t have to! Our waitress Gleyce and her assistant waitress were super great to us and so professional and kind! We didn’t get any appetizers but we both got the NY Strip, mine was medium rare + and my wife’s was rare. They came out amazing and not a lot of places know about MR+ so I was pleasantly surprised! My wife got the Bernaise sauce with her steak, she didn’t really like it and neither did I, but the house steak sauce was amazing so we recommend that, however I didn’t use it since the steaks already were so juicy and tender and flavorful! We also got the mac n cheese, Brussels sprouts, and truffle fries and they were all so delicious! For desert I asked if they had cheesecake and she said no, so I got ice cream and my wife got the crème brûlée. When they brought it out she also brought cheesecake which was so nice because she was able to get some for me that they had free of charge. It was all delicious. They also had a coat check which was nice. Overall this was an amazing experience and I hope they all get the recognition they deserve. I would love to come again!

Stopped in for a cocktail to celebrate my Mom’s birthday and had a nice time. John is a great bartender and made me a nice violet cocktail.

Went here to celebrate my 100th day together with my gf. I ordered the steak with the bacon blue cheese butter sauce and Brussel sprouts, she ordered the short rib and mac n cheese. The waiter was an awkward older white man. The food came extremely fast. Idk how they made it so quick. I ordered the steak medium well, it came well done but tasted very good. Best Brussel sprouts I’ve ever had. Both lived up to the char name. My gf didn’t care too much for her short rib. It came with mashed potatoes and a wine sauce. She only ate half and gave it a 6/10 but was too nice to complain to the waiter. I tried it and thought it was ok, definitely not worth the money.

I was in town for work and stayed at the Double Tree. This restaurant was extremely convenient for breakfast every morning. I ordered off the menu every day, but the buffet is reasonably priced at $20. The selection looked good. I enjoyed the eggs and potatoes each morning. The staff is wonderful. 11/10 recommend.

This steakhouse restaurant in the strathallan hotel easily deserves five stars in the food quality. We room service ordered us a cowboy ribeye for 2 which was excellent. And some purée potatoes, which were super. They charred corn was out so we substituted for the spinach dip, which was heavy with dill and cream..so I liked it, but my wife didn’t. The max n cheese was also too fancy for our 2 year old, but I tried it myself and she has terrible taste in food since it was much better than her favorite Kraft microwave junk.

What a waste of our vacation/anniversary time. F this place. Seriously. Waited over 80 minutes for our food. Scallops were tough and chewy, grilled shrimp was tough and chewy, my medium steak was completely raw on the inside, calamari was so salty. Hey, the asparagus was ok and the oysters too. Server was nice. So f’in disappointed. They actually charged us for some of it. We were ready to leave and upset so I paid. Ridiculous. Fine dining? The inside music was obnoxious. Seriously? Don’t bother unless you feel like being disappointed.
