The staff, from maitre d to coat attendant were all very attentive and knowledgeable, but not once did i see a single one of them crack a smile. Our server was knowledgeable about the wine list and recommended a delicious red that complimented the meal.
The peppercorn steak was cooked to perfection with an amazingly creamy peppercorn sauce.
The chicken neptune was topped with succulent crabmeat and asparagus, with a hollandaise sauce that complimented but did not overwhelm the dish.
Cleanliness was impressive but combined with the staffs curt demeanor made it feel a little bit too "stuffy" for my liking, although I would gladly return for the food again.
Food was good but that's about all. Grossly overpriced considering the rotten service. Waiters were unfriendly and made us feel like we were a bother. I'll never go back and would advise anyone to stay away from this place.
Worst service ever. Surly, unattentive waiters who make you feel that your an intrusion. Grossly overpriced and very pretentious. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
The atmosphere seems pretty classy but I think part of that is due to the dark lighting -- it's a steakhouse so dim lighting is part of the ambiance. The complimentary garlic bread was rich and delicious. We started with a caesar salad they prepare and toss right in front of you. As the server makes the dressing they ask you how you would like it. The plating of the food on the plates seem haphazard but the servers are professional and friendly. The steak I had tasted like any other restaurant steak but the prime rib my friend had was really good. It's quite expensive compared to what I'm used to so I won't be going there very often but I'd definitely go again for a special occasion.

I took my girlfriend here becasue we had promised each other a night at a good restaurant but the restuarnat undermines its decor and OK meat with so-so service. For the price a less workman like sercvice staff would be nice. Still a ncie place for a steak
This elegant fine dining restaurant has been serving Thornhill residents for over 40 years. The octagonal-shaped steakhouse features opulent décor throughout — sparkling chandeliers, dark wood furniture, stained glass lanterns — and entertaining chefs prepare and serve Caesar salads (for a minimum of two diners) tableside in oversized wooden bowls. Not just a feast for the eyes, the bountiful mix delivers an expertly-executed mix of dark leafy greens, romaine lettuce, house-made croutons and crunchy bacon bits coated in a delicately smooth dressing.
