Reviews
The steaks are absolutely outstanding. You can really taste the quality of the dry-aged beef and the perfect cooking technique. Every bite was rich, juicy, and full of flavor. If you love premium steak, this place is a must-visit.
The wine selection is also impressive, with many great options that pair perfectly with the food. The tableside Caesar salad and the fresh popovers at the beginning were a great touch that made the experience even more special.
Overall, an exceptional fine-dining steakhouse in Toronto. Perfect for special occasions or for anyone who truly appreciates high-quality meat and professional hospitality. Highly recommended.
My parents and I went to Jacob & Co Steakhouse last night and we were honestly blown away. We all agreed it was one of our top favorite meals we’ve ever had.
To start, we had the ceviche and the carpaccio. The ceviche was incredibly unique — it included oranges, which we had never seen before, and it added such a fresh and delicious flavor profile. The carpaccio was buttery, delicate, and practically melted in your mouth.
For mains, we shared the rack of lamb and the 25-day dry-aged ribeye. Both were exceptional. The meats were unbelievably tender and full of flavor, and we loved that they were served with chimichurri, ponzu, and black salt on the side so you could customize each bite.
Yes — the meal was definitely on the pricey side, but the quality of the food and the level of service made it completely worth it for a special night out if you’re willing to splurge a little.
Our server, Derek, was fantastic. He recommended several menu items and took the time to explain everything in detail, including flavor profiles, which really elevated the experience. He was personable, friendly, and had us laughing throughout the night. He also worked alongside the bartender at the piano bar — “Big Country,” as we called him — who was equally warm and welcoming. Sitting at the piano bar honestly felt like an even better experience than a traditional table.
Highly, highly recommend Jacob & Co. We’ll definitely be back.
And then, I would recommend the aged American steak had a pretty dense appearance, with a deep mahogany-brown crust on the outside and a red centre from edge to edge inside. Still, it was just a little off, with a hint of bitterness on the outside. The overall texture was chewy, but the medium-rare doneness was just alright. The American beef flavour wasn’t overly rich, but it was still tasty overall.
The beef tartare was a good-sized portion. The meat pieces were relatively large, and you could tell they were fresh. However, the seasoning was somewhat light, highlighting the quality of the beef.
Wagyu Fried Rice was a disappointment. It was neither dry nor fragrant. It didn’t taste as good as Black+Blue’s. But my boyfriend said that when he came here two months ago, it was delicious. Maybe it was just today.
The restaurant’s interior is old-fashioned and not particularly fancy. The service is inconsistent and hard to judge. They do offer basic friendly service and coat check. However, the waiter serving our table was just okay. When it was time to pay, we noticed the bill listed ‘Ontario steak,’ but we had ordered the American one. He didn’t mention the mistake earlier. It was only when we were checking out that he kept insisting it was just a billing error, and the steak we had was indeed American, with the same price. Since it was our date night, we decided not to make a fuss.
Later, my boyfriend remembered that the server had mentioned ‘Ontario steak’ before serving. Honestly, it doesn’t matter much which country’s steak we had – we just wanted a normal dinner. Still, it was disappointing that such a well-known, longstanding restaurant made such a mistake.
The meal itself was excellent from start to finish. The tuna tartare was a standout opener, it is exceptionally fresh, beautifully seasoned, and plated with real precision. The mashed potatoes deserve special mention as well: incredibly smooth, rich without being heavy, and exactly the kind of indulgent steakhouse side you hope for. The steak program is clearly the centerpiece here, with an impressive selection of high-quality cuts cooked perfectly to temperature, each with a deep, well-developed crust and outstanding flavour.
Dessert was just as memorable and provided a fantastic close to the evening, thoughtfully executed and properly celebratory rather than an afterthought. What ultimately elevates Jacob & Co is the consistency of the entire experience; the pacing, the hospitality, the confidence of the kitchen, and the sense that every detail is intentionally curated for a true luxury dining night.
If you’re looking for one of Toronto’s definitive upscale steakhouse experiences for a celebration, client dinner, or simply an exceptional evening out, Jacob & Co absolutely belongs at the top of the list. A genuine five-star experience and somewhere I will return to without hesitation.
I came with a friend and had a very comfortable experience. Our server, unfortunately did not get his name but he made us feel very comfortable and immediately pointed out halal steak options and drink options. I did not feel out of place at all.
The complimentary bread starter was fresh, fluffy and delicious. It came with garlic/pesto butter.
We tried the striploin to share and then pasta dish pictured. Potato puree and had the ceaser salad made fresh in front of us. Such a nice experience!
The steak was honestly the best I have ever had and melted in your mouth. For desert we had the monkey bread to share which was honestly perfect amount and closer.
I can not wait to save up and try it again sometime as a treat ! Worth the experience 🙂
