The Butcher Chef Toronto Reviews from The Last Year
The food here is pretty good but it's way overpriced.
Also, the food was a bit too pretentious for my liking - not everything needs to be caviar, wagyu and truffles. Otherwise, the vibe was nice with great service. The restaurant feels a bit cramped - I constantly found myself nearly bumping into servers, and the space overall felt poorly designed. I enjoyed the experience but I doubt I'd come back.
Pricey but was an exceptional dining experience
Pricey but the food was delicious. The Seared Foie Gras was a standout. The foie gras was perfectly seared, its richness complemented by the crispy French toast and the special sauce drizzled on the side. Each bite was a symphony of flavours, with the foie gras melting in your mouth and leaving its aromatic essence lingering on your palate. Moving on to the main course, the rabbit dish I had was incredibly tender, and the meat sauce added a perfect flavour enhancement. The meat itself was also well-marinated. We tried the sautΓ©ed mushrooms for the side. The mushrooms were deep-fried and flavorful. For dessert, the chocolate mousse was rich and creamy, a perfect wrap for our experience. Needless to say, their drinks were tasty too. Their service was also great. The staff was professional and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of excellent. Overall, it was an exceptional dining experience, but I may not return for another visit again considering the price. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 5/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - 5/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 5/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 5/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 1/5 OVERALL - 4.2

This was my second visit to the restaurant, and I couldn't help but notice a significant increase in prices. While I understand it's fine dining, paying $5 for a glass of water and $30 for a side dish felt quite unexpected. Our order included one appetizer, one side, two entrees, three drinks, one dessert, and the final bill amounted to $500+ including tips. That said, the food was delicious.

Super bougie steak and super bougie prices! Food is decent
Super bougie steak and super bougie prices! Food is decent but I don't know if I would come if I had to pay for it myself... overall, I found the food a touch too salty with super tiny portions, and everything was quite gimicky. We started off with some cocktails - I was shocked to find that they were almost $30 on average! I almost thought that I had been transported back to Singapore with these prices. My orchard sour was good, quite strong. My colleague got the clover club and it arrived with a bunch of dry ice / nitrogen gas... they then served some small tartare amuse bouche, which were quite delicious. We then moved on to appetizers. We had all expected the daily bread to be a house-baked bread basket, but it was a small brioche loaf (of four pieces), gratuitously topped with fried onion bits and then smothered in gravy and liquid cheese. The foie gras was fatty and indulgent, just as you'd expect. The caviar tuna tartare was good, but I found the cracker a bit soggy (as it was pressed between the tartare) and there was just a smidge of caviar... definitely not worth the $120 price tag. The crab and beef (crab meat with micro-greens wrapped in carpaccio beef) was quite delicious, but the caesar salad was honestly very disappointing. It was full of anchovy flavour but super salty. Not the mention the portions were for a child! Finally came the time for mains. Overwhelmed by the menu options, we told the waiter that he could help us pick a few options. He chose 5 steaks, aiming for about 7oz per person, but my colleagues (all meat lovers) enthusiastically suggested he go up to 8oz. And so, we ended up with 6 steaks. The waiter also selected some truffle raviolini for us to start. The raviolini was bite-sized, perfect for easy eating. It had a very meaty and cheesy flavour, and we all inhaled it in no time. Before serving the steak, our server came up to us with a big, grand-looking wooden box. He gave a spiel about how for our fine steaks, we need fine knives, and walked us through the knives - how they're made from Damascus steel, folded over in 2048 layers, something about very expensive wood from Hawaii that is harvested when the tree naturally dies... then told us to "choose our weapon". Haha, so epic. The steaks were cut into 7 portions (for us 7 people) and placed on our plates from leanest (left hand side) to most fatty. The steaks were a tenderloin, penokean striploin, a PEI ribeye, a la morocha farm ribeye, a wagyu blend striploin, and a Miyazaki wagyu striploin. I think my personal favourites were the PEI ribeye and the two wagyus. The pure wagyu, which was beautifully marbled, literally melted in my mouth. However, I was so stuffed by this point that I only ate a bit of each... and gave the rest to my still hungry colleagues for them to enjoy. We were also served a bunch of house sides, which included extremely buttery roast maitake mushrooms, shoestring fries, cheesy leeks, and more. By the end of the meal, everyone was stuffed... but then they brought out four desserts on the house. The Black Forest was okay, the cheesecake was good (but again, served over the top with dry ice thrown all over it), the Paris Brest tasted like a Nutella dessert, and the lemon cake was nice and light. What a perfect way to end an indulgent night! P.S. even the washrooms were super fancy with Toto washlets that came alive and opened when someone stepped in. Wish I took a photo!
Solid but pricey This place is solid and it looks nice.
Even with the automated toilets. It's a bit too Miami trendy as opposed to conventional steak house fine dining though. Service was decent but more on the trendy side. They do most of the things a fine dining restaurant would do. But they somewhat lack the precision or refinement of the Michelin starred restaurants. The complementary beef tartare amuse bouche to start was delicious. As was the Ceasar salad that had a nice vinegary taste. They were even nice enough to split our order in two for us. The tuna and A5 steak tartare was visually nice with the crisps freshly fried and flecks of gold sprinkled on top. But the tartare itself lacked the intensity of flavour we expect from it. The branzino had a nice size and the flambΓ© was fun to watch. The cream sauce on top was too much though. Had the PEI dry aged ribeye that was good. Apparently the best of the ribeyes. I've had better. This wasn't bad. Just not spectacular. The Au gratin leak and potatoes were fantastic. Brussel sprouts were ok. One negative is the wait staff didn't hear my request for my food to be packed up. We left the restaurant and forgot about it until it was too late. But if they did their job correctly they should have delivered the leftovers to our table or had it waiting in front. Not impressed with that.
Outstanding steaks and service.
Owner/operator very engaging. Highly recommend the cheesecake dessert, which is very unique and flavorful. Ambiance is warm, elegant, and cozy. Will definitely be back on next visit to Toronto.
Small, intimate, top drawer steakhouse
Very good steaks, canadian, Kansas city prime, US wagu, and Japanese wagu. Be prepared for open your wallet, but worth it for a treat. Small upscale and intimate
What an experience! Read some really good reviews on the
What an experience! Read some really good reviews on the Butcher Chef and decided to make a reservation on a Saturday date-night. The service was impeccable. Very friendly with great suggestions and opinions. I was complimenting the ambiance to my partner that they must have spent millions on the renovations and decor as every detail inside was gorgeous and meticulously thought out. We ordered the sea bass and scallops along with the 24oz bone-in rib eye steak. Both were cooked to perfection and I really see a medium-rare steak... cooked to a perfect medium-rare. The outter crust of the steak was charred to the exact degree of perfect. It could not have been better (IMO). The side mushroom was also a spectacle where they pour the au jus at the table to make it extra special. As for the dessert, we could not decide on either the Bailey's cake or their Cheesecake. We ended up ordering the Cheesecake based on our servers suggestion and he was so nice he also brought the Bailey's cake as complimentary as we were hard pressed to decide. Magnificent. I would HIGHLY recommend the cheesecake also. Overall, I would give a 5/5 as it was a standout dinner from beginning to end.

An upmarket steakhouse, with great service (attentive, very well versed, well paced, without being disruptive); and great food. This is definitely a venue for special occasions, with prices to match.
Premium Experience, Steam Menu Reads like a Wine List
Absolutely fantastic. Premium experience. The steak menu reads like a wine list, literally. Pick your region, pick your meat, enjoy! Fantastic service, GREAT food.
Food and service was very good.
Lucky I liked my steak on the rear side, we asked for medium rare and it was still a bit mooing.

Where do I even begin? My family and I flew in from Hawaii & California for a birthday getaway for our mom (September 23). We found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. Sebastian helped us the entire night and he was so helpful with any questions we had. The food was *chef's kiss*. We ordered a handful of appetizers and they were so kind to plate a few of them individually. One of my favorite dishes was the fresh pesto bread and the surf and turf. Almost every dish we ordered had so much flavor and it all complimented each other. If ever you're in the area and wanting a nice place to eat with the friendliest service, I suggest trying The Butcher Chef.

The food, the service, & ambiance was nothing less than extraordinary! The host (which I forgot her name, Sebastian and the whole staff made our dinning experience top notch. They were so easy to work with when it came to surprising our mom for for her birthday. The food was ammmmaaazing, the dessert & drinks! I had requested for a specific dessert that was not on the menu but they made it work for me which was so kind of them. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant!
Nice dinner.
Great apps. Good steak, excellent selections. Large wine list. Attentive service. Spendy. We liked the tuna/a5 tartare and the raviolini the best.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been βmatchedβ with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
