Don't even think about going to Ruth Chris's - Barberian's is MUCH better and cheaper as well. Great meal and great service. more

Read much about this restaurant and chose it when visiting Toronto with husband and friends on a night when everyone was in the mood for a lovely steak. Overall, I would just say it was okay. The steaks were good but nothing amazing. I had a Ceasar Salad to start and others at the table had Seafood Chowder, oysters and... more

I'm really not fond of steaks but those served at the Barberian's are quite something! The oysters were also very fresh and they have a great choice of wines. The service was perfect and I really mean it. Actually, I think I can't think of a better service ever. We also had a chance to visit the wine cellar. The... more

We ate in here on our recent trip to Toronto. Don't be fooled by the outside, it looks like a bar or pub outside but inside it's a bit like sitting in someone's living room. The food is gorgeous, the garlic bread they bring out is especially good although you won't be doing much kissing afterwards! Prices are quite steep.... more

Great steak, excellent oysters and probably one of the most extensive wine lists in the city. You wouldn't know it by walking into the place; it feels a bit like one of the Hungarian joints that used to be on Bloor St ... until you notice the original paintings my members of the Group of Seven on the walls. Service... more

The setting: hasn't changed since the 70s, or maybe even the 50s. The service: competent. The meat: spectacular. Maybe the best steak I've had outside Argentina. The sides: who goes for the sides? more

The food was excellent and relatively comparable in price to other steakhouses. I didn't feel the personalized service that everyone raves about, however, and felt as though larger parties were catered to with more generosity. Overall, good food. more

We had dinner here (and paid) with two friends whom we had not seen in 20+ years. Delightful, old-fashioned, North-American steak-house decor, atmosphere and service. No surprises, no disappointments, excellent meats. A once in a lifetime experience (in that I cannot imagine going back because nothing the "chef" produced could not be replicated at home). They were very patient when... more
