We had such an amazing experience here! From the food to the service and hospitality, everything was absolutely perfect.

The ambiance was beautiful and made for a wonderful anniversary dinner. Our server, Melissa, was incredibly attentive and gave us excellent recommendations. We loved every dish she suggested. The entire staff regularly checked in to make sure everything was going well, which made us feel genuinely cared for.

Every single dish was delicious, and to top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and it tasted amazing too.

This is definitely a must-visit restaurant, and we can't wait to come back!

Came here for our anniversary and had a really nice experience. The food was good and the service was great as well. The 24oz Porterhouse was definitely the highlight of the meal. We came on a Sunday night, so it was quiet and not crowded, which made the dinner feel more relaxed. The restaurant also has a nice atmosphere and is a great place to take some photos. Overall, a lovely spot for a special night out.

Our dining experience here was absolutely perfect. The attention to detail at Animl makes a huge difference, and this place definitely delivers on every level. We started the meal with the Caesar salad and the seafood tower, both of which were excellent. For the mains, the steaks were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. To top it all off, the desserts were a fantastic finish to an incredible meal. Highly recommend!

We had such a great experience at Animl. Our server Melissa was incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire night. We were seated quickly and felt welcomed right away.

I had the chicken while my partner had the Animal Burger, and both were delicious. The fries were amazing, and we also loved the baby beans and carrots on the side. Of course we had to try the famous gold dessert everyone talks about, and it definitely lived up to the hype. It had a really refreshing lemon flavour that balanced the sweetness perfectly.

The overall vibe of the restaurant was beautiful, warm, and welcoming. Even though it’s located on a very busy strip, parking was surprisingly easy to find which made the experience even smoother. We had a really good time and would definitely come back again.

Visited Animl for the first time with my family to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Everything was fantastic - atmosphere, service, and the food! Gabriel, our server, was exceptional. He took the time to walk us through the menu, make some great recommendations and was always smiling and keeping things light hearted. The food was wonderful and our steaks were cooked to perfection. Thank you Gabriel and Animl for a memorable evening. Will be back again.

Animl is hands down the best steakhouse in King West and easily one of my top five in all of Toronto.

The vibe is incredible, the service is top-tier, and you can tell there’s strong leadership behind every detail from the way the team moves to the quality of the food on the plate. The steaks are cooked to perfection, the lobster tagliatelle is the best I’ve had anywhere, the sides and cocktails are just as impressive, and they go above and beyond to cater to your preferences.

Whether you’re planning a romantic date night, a group celebration, or a corporate dinner, this place delivers every time. It’s an experience. Highly recommend!

Loveee Animl, the decor, the food, the drinks, the service, the vibes, the service, the staff especially Saralyn. I have never been disappointed by the service each time I’ve been here so it’s only right that I leave a review. Pictures should show I go here when I’m in the city. It’s one of my favorite places and highly recommend, I loveeee their patio probably the best patio in the city in my opinion this has to be a hidden gem in the city. But the bar has my heart the conversation, the vibes, saralyn is truly a sweetheart and part of why we keep coming back. I highly recommend the espresso martinis with tequila & baileys. Also the sticky toffee pudding here is to die for. I love the steak here I just didn’t have a picture of it. Honestly this place is a 12/10.

First time to this restaurant for celebrating my bf bday! The oyster rockerfella was taken off the menu already, our server Sacha was kind enough to check with the kitchen, and they were able to serve us this dish as some other larger groups were also ordering it. We also got the pastrami as appetizer. As for main, we had the 24oz porterhouse with chimichurri sauce and potato gratin dauphinoise on the side. Everything tasted amazing and service was outstanding 🙌 to top it off, the team surprised us by taking care of the dessert bill (the gold bar) as a bday gift 💗 Thank you for making our date memorable and thank you again to our server Sacha for taking pic for us 😊

Animl Steakhouse feels tailor-made for the social-media crowd. The space is undeniably beautiful, and judging by the number of phones in the air, that’s clearly part of the draw. If you’re looking for a stunning backdrop for photos, this place absolutely delivers.

That said, while the food and service were good, they don’t quite rise to the level of Toronto’s more established, food-driven steakhouses. Compared to spots that prioritize refinement over spectacle, Animl falls just a touch short.

One thing worth calling out: the Wagyu steak flight. The quality of the meat itself was good, but the presentation was surprisingly stark — almost oddly plain for a restaurant that puts so much effort into visual flair elsewhere. It didn’t feel as elevated or thoughtfully composed as you’d expect at this level. I should also mention that what they do with their caviar service is tragic: Served with greasy small potatoe rostis, the flavour and texture of the caviar is all but lost.

Overall, Animl offers a perfectly pleasant night out, especially if atmosphere and aesthetics are high on your wish list. But when I think of the steakhouses in Toronto that truly pull me back with unforgettable dishes, this one doesn’t quite make that category.

A fine visit — just not a “must return.”

I had a date night with my girlfriend tonight. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and beautiful setting, definitely a nice place for a fine dining experience. Most of the dishes were delicious, but unfortunately, the steak was a big disappointment. (The restaurant’s name is a steakhouse). We ordered it medium rare, but it came out medium well. They remade it, but it still wasn’t cooked correctly. (Medium?) I didn’t want to wait any longer, so I just accepted it. Everything else was great, but the steak really brought the experience down. I do saw several reviews about the steak problems. So please, in order to be a top-rating fine dining restaurant, make sure have the chef who knows how to cook a CORRECT steak with correct medium rare and no BLOOD after cutting. Thanks.

Incredible experience! A must stop for the carnivore. Easy to walk to from the stadium or CN Tower. Friendly staff, awesome DJs and an atmosphere for that special date. I told my friend to order the Diamond Drip shot. Glad they informed us it was $7K and came with a gold (diamond) bracelet? My buddy would have been pissed buying us both one. #friendshipbracelets. They were happy to bring it out to show us. The food was impeccable as it was impressive. Do yourself a favor and come in even for appetizers and drinks, but definitely stay for the food. (Oh, and we took the wine to go 🥴)
