Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse

Verified by N49

We came here for a birthday celebration, but it was unusual that the server never asked about the occasion when we arrived. There are three people in my party, and the server kept telling us to order more food because it wouldn’t be enough. We ended up ordering two appetizers, two side dishes, one order of lamb, and 30 ounces of bone-in ribeye. The server then said it should be enough, but we had a lot of leftovers.

We asked if there was any dessert option for a birthday celebration, and the server gave us the desserts menu. They said we could order one and they would put a happy birthday on it. We ordered a chocolate cake, and it was still on the bill when we paid. We don’t mind paying for the cake, but we paid $600 for three people, even The Keg would take that cake off the bill. And the steak was very average. Very bad experience here. Not recommended.

Went for business lunch for the first time. We both ordered from the fixed price lunch menu which was reasonably priced. We both chose the Caesar salad as an appetizer. It was a great choice and was fresh crisp and tasty.
The main course choices were chicken fish or beef. The waiter described the beef as coming from a named farm in Kansas. I choose not to buy US beef as a matter of principle in the supermarket and restaurants are no different. I am sure there are equally good Canadian beef suppliers
I ordered chicken which was good and my colleague ordered fish. Both were good. The snow pea greens served as a side tasted and looked like spinach. Service was good and appropriate. I won’t be back until they have Canadian beef on the menu.

Amazing staff and amazing food! We went there for dinner and the service was one of the best we have ever gotten! The steaks and sides were also wonderful. Special shoutout to Romain for explaining the menu to us and quietly checking in on us throughout the evening.

The ambience is great. There was live piano as we dined.

The entire staff was lovely and contributed to an amazing evening.

I dined here for my birthday and was extremely pleased with both the food and the service. The restaurant is beautiful, pristine, and welcoming. My server was attentive, and the rest of the staff were just as thoughtful — from checking in on my meal to promptly clearing my table, they made me feel special and I recived multiple birthday wishes throughout the night.

To celebrate, I ordered the famous Caesar salad, an 18oz aged bone-in striploin, a 4oz wagyu, potato purée, a glass each of Flat Rock and Wild Rock wine, and the monkey bread dessert to finish off a very filling meal. My goal was to stick to primarily Canadian produce, which the 18oz steak and the wines proudly represented. I requested for my dishes to be staggered so I could enjoy each one at its best pace.

The experience began with complimentary herb butter, with a warm popover that paired perfectly with the butter. The caesar salad was fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. Both steaks were cooked to perfection, and the potato purée was smooth, and delicious.

To end the evening, I chose the monkey bread — served warm with a cream cheese dip — which is a must-try if you’re a fan of Cinnabons. As a final thoughtful touch, when I was ready to settle my bill, my server brought me a signed card by the Jacob's culinary team and I was provided with a house-made chocolate muffin to enjoy the next morning.

From the food to the hospitality, every detail exceeded my expectations. I left completely satisfied and grateful for such a memorable birthday dinner.
Will love to be back again soon. Thank you Jacobs & Co Steakhouse.

Went to celebrate my son’s birthday. First time at the new location. I was the last one to arrive only to find the others seated in the what appeared to be the overflow, in the back of the restaurant, completed separated from the dining room. Very disappointed as there were empty table in the main dining room but did not want to make a fuss because we were there to celebrate. Drinks were ok but steak was dry. Will not be returning as there are many other great steakhouses in Toronto that get it right.

The overall experience was nice.

This new location is beautifully put together and has a great atmosphere. Cozy and carpeted with lots of wood accents making it feel warm and welcoming. 5/5

We ordered steaks for lunch and had a somewhat acceptable experience. The steaks were good but for the price I was expecting them to be very tender and juicy. We asked for medium rare and they came closer to medium well and rare. A bit tough for a rib eye but the flavor was great. Food was 4/5.

The service was exceptional. Friendly staff and informative on the menu and gives nice little details on the dry aged specialties keeps things interesting. Marvin serving us made the experience memorable with his great service and friendly chats! Thank you Marvin! 5/5! 👍

Fantastic steakhouse in every manner! One of the BEST in Toronto bar none. Food, service & ambience were all outstanding. Very professional & highest quality standards. Wife/I celebrated her birthday lunch recently at Jacobs

Our server Madison was very informative, personable & polite. Service was excellent! The Host team were also very welcoming & engaging. The food was divine. I had the Ross Ross Chicken & my wife had the steak. Both were cooked to perfection.

Very impressed with Jacobs.
Would highly recommend visit !
You will not be disappointed in the least 💯

Love this place. Best Steak in the city. And a new location!

Love the new venue! It’s bright and airy and a welcome change to the original!
They’ve introduced new food offerings including fresh seafood in addition to their traditional offerings.
The popovers with garlic butter are always so incredible!
The beet salad was adorned with honeycomb which was my favourite part. The sides of asparagus and mushrooms left more to be desired.
I tried the bay scallops, which although delicious, I would’ve liked to be a bigger portion especially for the individual price.
The tiger prawns were generous and a nice lighter option.
Their selection of steaks is incredible and cooked to your liking.
They’ve launched a new lunch menu as well, which is great for those looking for a new spot in the downtown core.
The service was attentive and it was great to see so many familiar faces.
There were a few glitches during service and dining, but to be expected as they had just opened.
Overall a great experience!

We had the worst experience at Jacobs & Co. We ordered a bottle of wine from their menu that was completely undrinkable — it tasted like straight vinegar. When we brought it to their attention, they offered no real solution other than giving us complimentary bread and blaming us for the choice, saying we ordered it without asking for recommendations and that "that's just how the wine is."

Frankly, for a place with such high prices and a reputation for fine dining, we expected much better service and a more respectful approach. The way they handled the situation was dismissive and unprofessional. Definitely not coming back — there are many better places in Toronto that actually care about their guests.

The service was good in here. We were seated straight away and the staff were very attentive.

The menu was a little pricey, meal for three including wine and service charge came to c.$700 Canadian. For that I would have expected really high end steaks but unfortunately the steaks were a disappointment, which is a problem if you are a steak restaurant.

The meat was a little tough and fatty and lacked flavour. The sides were good but that’s not what we came here for.

We had steaks at the Airport Sheraton which were far better and at a fraction of the price.

I would definitely come back to Toronto but this restaurant would not be on my list to visit.

The steak was perfectly cooked, and the fries were crispy and delicious. The ambiance and service made it a memorable dining experience and must try .

Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse was probably our best choice we made in Toronto for dinner. Service was impeccable, our waiter Joshua was extremely accommodating and attentive to our every need. From our daughter's Shirley Temple to his recommendations for steak for our son, Joshua made sure we were well taken care of. Jacobs & Co. had many gluten free options for our son, including his own popover. We tried the tasting menu for the steak, and were blown away by all four of them. Definitely make sure to order the Caesar salad, which is prepared table side. Best salad we've tried. Save room for desserts.

Here’s a 300-character review you can use:

“Jacob’s Steakhouse offers an exceptional dining experience. The ambiance is upscale yet comfortable, and the service is attentive and friendly. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender the oyster were amazing . Sides were equally delightful as well as great espresso martini 🍸 Highly recommend for a special night out!”

9/10 service - everything was great except our server forgot our drink order and forgot to bring our doggie bag. But our server did make a very nice suggestion with the steak choice and wine pairing. Nothing major, the rest of the staff were all on point.

8/10 food - not sure if we just ate too much red meat as that's not usually in our diet, but both our stomachs felt off after the meal. Not something you'd expect to feel after a pricey meal like that. But the food was really good, the Australian wagyu was 👌

Overall, it was a great experience!! I really enjoyed my time here ☺️ the homemade bread was sensational 😍

The service is definitely 10/10 here.
Food is nothing extraordinary. It’s good but that’s expected with what you’re paying. The risotto is average but the potato gratin was delicious. Steaks and chicken are also good but nothing extravagant. The desserts are rich - we were a party of 4 and almost tried everything.
The atmosphere inside needs improvement. Does not look super upscale inside.

We ordered A5 Kobe and rib-eye steak. I was impressed with the quality of the meat and efficient service. Great wine selections as well. Side dishes and dessert were also perfect with our steak. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a high end steakhouse in Toronto.

It’s expensive but on occasions it’s nice to be able to dine at a place like Jacob’s
What I like about the steaks is the tell you what farm they come from, for the most part. The accompaniments(duck fat fries, potatoes gratin, risotto) are worth the price to pay considering the time it would take to make them. The bread is great, they explain all the different steaks and the spacing between tables was good. If we could of lessened the drinks the bill would of been a little better but what are you going to do when the booze start to flow 🤷‍♂️ bill was close to 1000 for four people

Food is OUTSTANDING.. our server not so much☹️!
We absolutely love coming to this Restaurant . it’s our go to for all special occasions/celebrations, we love coming to Jacobs.. Unfortunately, for us, we had a very dishonest waiter the past few occasions , and we are so unbelievably disappointed that the owners of Jacobs would have somebody like this working for them ..ripping off their customers.
His name is Akbar..we had this server the past few times unlucky for us…the first incident he charged us for a ridiculous amount of sparkling and spring water around 10 bottles when maybe I can say honestly we had 2 or 3 . He also added more expensive steaks on the bill as well as added extra alcoholic drinks on our bill as well and when calculated he overcharged us $170-200…on our bill it was $ 850 not including tip…when it should’ve been between $600-$650 before tip. We let it go…
The second and third time he did the same thinking we wouldn’t catch him but he tried to add extra items and more expensive steaks again but not as much as he did the first time but we told him we did not order these items please remove them and he did…he really got away with it the first time after that we watched and remembered every single item ordered so he wouldn’t rip us off again…
We are so upset about it and when sending an email to the management at Jacobs NOBODY even had the decency to reply back and apologize.
This waiter really left a sour taste in our mouths and i really don’t think we will return until at least someone acknowledges this and apologizes!
The food again at Jacobs is incredible unfortunately servers like Akbar will destroy the experience and ruin their prestine name very fast if they don’t do anything about it!

Service was good, but we came for the steak, 3 couples and we all ordered Bone in Strip....at $117 a steak we where underwhelmed to say the least...presented in a cast iron skillet which was not hot, steak was tough and pretty tasteless, called the restaurant the next day before posting this, all I got from the manager is we will note it for next time.....sorry no next time

This is a great restaurant. It is without question the best restaurant I have ever been to in Toronto. Our entire dining experience was exceptional, thank you!

Quite pricey but you get what you pay for. Food was delicious and the service was outstanding. My family and friends had a great time.

Jacob's has gone so downhill. Prices have increased, and quality and selection have decreased.

Service and management are inattentive and uncaring, to say the least.

Stick with The Keg - better food and service at a quarter of the price

Jacob has a great classic Toronto steak place. The service is impeccable. We got the table side Cesar share the steak in a ton of sides. We’ve been several times and they never disappoint.
