A very welcoming place. Laid back with a wood stove in the dining room. Service is fast and efficient. We had the mezzo board as an appetizer. We shared a 35 day dry aged tomahawk steak that was grilled to a perfect medium rare. The sides we were ordered were beets with feta, Belgian endive with cheese and perfectly crunchy fries with a sauce that went perfectly with them. It was a very delicious meal. I recommend this spot while heartedly.

This was a fantastic choice. I read through the reviews and we chose the Chef’s menu. This is 100% the way to go here. The chef chose the Mezze platter with sausage, Manchego cheese and an assortment of spreads everything was good. Next came the grilled peach which was amazing, one of the best dishes I’ve had anywhere. The Tuna ceviche was perfect. Next came a plate of escargot, which was a first for one of us and excellent, the garlic butter it was cooked in was fantastic. The last dish was a Rob-Eye steak, cooked to medium perfection with a crunchy crust and side dishes of grilled beans and great fries. We had just enough rooms for dessert, and along came a chocolate brownie with a whipped raspberry sauce that was to die for.
All of this doesn’t come in cheap at 99CAD per person but for my view, worth every cent.
But this place is more than just the amazing food. Service was spot on, professional and friendly. The pacing of the tasting menu was perfect, we didn’t feel rushed at any time, and that is as important as the food.
If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would!

Get service in every direction you look, their drinks, beer & wine selection are awesome and the servers are fantastic. We were a group of 12 so we received the chefs choice for eats. Unbelievable variety and everything was delectable.

Possibly the best dining experience of my life. The restaurant is gorgeous, with a the perfect atmosphere for dinner. There were other diners, but it wasn’t loud (Thursday evening).
Staff (Rodney, Michael and others) were courteous, attentive and happy to share conversation and recommendations.
Food was perfection. Oysters were straight from western PEI and accompanied with subtle flavour enhancers. Pork was mouthwatering and sides were fresh, unique and flavourful. Key Lime pie was bursting with flavour yet not over powered. Espresso was strong and perfect.
10/10.

Flame & Smith is a must. We went all in with the Chef’s Menu (aka: “surprise me, Chef”) and it was the best decision of the year. Four courses of absolute magic — every bite bursting with flavor. The steak? Cooked so perfectly it deserves its own fan club.
If you get Mikayla as your server, you’ve hit the jackpot. Trust her recommendations, you won’t regret it.
Bottom line: stop reading reviews, book a table, and thank me later.

Honestly, visiting this steakhouse was a disappointment. My husband, daughter and I visited on February 15 for a belated Valentine’s Day/Family Day dinner. The restaurant is stunning, and we liked the options on their limited menu, but the service was horribly slow and our waiter really wasn’t that attentive.
Our daughter is 4 and ordered a plain burger. The burger arrived covered with all the typical toppings, which looked amazing, but she’s four and immediately pitched a fit saying she wouldn’t eat it. We attempted to scrape off the ketchup and removed the fixings, but she refused to touch it and her plate remained untouched. The server noticed but didn’t say anything, eventually removing the uneaten food. Her meal came with ice cream (there was no choice on flavour). They brought my 4 year old a vanilla sundae but poured coffee flavoured caramel sauce all over it- which obviously she refused to eat. Again, the waiter said nothing.
The entire meal took 2 hours because there were long periods where the server wasn’t available.
Overall, we felt that it was a lot of money for just an okay meal and generally pretty poor service.

I’ve been very torn about making a review because although the staff was wonderful and the atmosphere was cozy, the meal left something to be desired. My husband and I ordered the shrimp for an appetizer, the rib eye, skirt steak with a side salad and an order of their beets for our entrée. For dessert we got the brownie with raspberry foam. I found my skirt steak to be overly salted and the worst part is I ended up with food poisoning and had a very rough next day. We had been wanting to go for years and decided to go for my husband’s birthday dinner but I’m unsure I will ever go back and try again.

Wonderful dinner at this place. It’s not a grand place but this makes the experience more intimate and cozy. Love the open kitchen concept and grill at the back and the service was attentive. This will be a regular stop moving forward.

Have been here a couple times now and they never disappoint. Had the heirloom tomatoes and burrata cheese, cod and lamb. As well as an old fashion and cosmo. Absolutely delicious and the service was 10 out of 10. Thank you for such a lovely evening. Will be back.

I had one of the possibly best restaurant steaks I’ve ever had. Tasty, tender, and cooked to perfection. The lamb rack was delicious as well.
The service was great, and our server was very knowledgeable and friendly.
The ambiance was great, an upscale and fancy feel to it.
