Had my bday dinner here once again and would you happen to know it. IT'S STILL ONE OF MY FAVE RESTOS IN THE GTA. I came with my family, my bro's wife and my gf.
Yes the price is mighty hefty, but for special occasions this is one of my personal recommendations.
I made the rookie mistake of downing like 10 slices of that delicious, complimentary garlic bread. It's so buttery and so garlicky. OMG.
I've narrowed down the scallops and oysters rockefeller as the best appetizers in my opinion (having tried most of them at some point). We also ordered a french onion soup to try for the first time. If I'm being honest, the soup was a lil too rich for us. In fact, it didn't really have enough onion taste (although the onions were cooked well and soft). It was so rich to the point that we thought it tasted more like beef gravy rather than soup. Halfway through the soup, my bro and I decided to use it as au jus dipping sauce for our beef LOL.
The REAL showstopper is the ceasar salad though. Done tableside with all the works (egg yolk, anchovies, some tabasco, the good stuff). The server spends like 10-15 mins making it from scratch. I would say the salad is a MUST ORDER for anyone coming to Peter's (you might be surprised at the price but TRUST ME it's THAT delicious).
I still opted for my usual, 24 oz ribeye cooked medium rare. Aged for at least 45 days. Perfect edge to edge doneness. Super tender meat. Bone-in. OUUUUUH YEEEE BABY. I have yet to find a better steak in the GTA. I also love that they have an additional server who comes around and asks you how much sour cream and butter you want on your potato.
This time, my gf opted to try the 6 oz center cut beef tenderloin. I thought the blue cheese would be too salty on top but the fig sauce was sweet and tangy so it actually balanced out the saltiness of the blue cheese really well!
I got myself a Planter's Punch cocktail and it was ok. I think I much prefer the whisky sour they made for me on my last visit. It was much more flavourful.
For dessert, on top of my free birthday slice, we decide to try the crepes suzette instead of our usual bananas foster. I must admit, while it was made very well and the tableside show was awesome, it was not my cup of tea. I think we will stick to the bananas foster from now on haha.
I would be remiss if I didn't shoutout the amazing service throughout the night. I forgot our main server's name (not Tom the one with long hair but the other one in a suit with short hair. I think, his name was Chris? SORRY IF I FORGOT). Nice gentleman and really funny guy. Had jokes for days. The rest of the staff also attended to us throughout the night. Topped off our water frequently.
It may have increased its prices slightly because of inflation, but my god am I SO GLAD that they haven't dropped their legendary standards. Great food combined with great service. I'm pretty sure they recognize me now whenever January rolls around for my bday LOL.

My wife and I recently dined at Peters Fine Dining, driven by our appreciation for classic steakhouses such as Caesars in Calgary, Barbarian in downtown Toronto, and Keens in New York City. To our surprise, Peters Fine Dining measured up to these renowned establishments.
Choosing a Tuesday night for our visit, we easily found parking in the back. The captivating old-school decor upon entering immediately caught my eye. Welcomed by numerous hostesses and waiters, we were quickly seated, albeit with a friendly request to remove my hat. One notable critique is the inconsistency in delivering a 'fine dining service. ' For instance, being initially led by the bartender rather than the host felt somewhat casual, and our waiter missed the customary introduction. Despite a quiet evening, the absence of a full bar for sitting stood out. Nevertheless, the waitstaff, impeccably dressed in full suits, maintained a commendable level of formality.
Our drink choices, including a martini, negroni, and diet coke, were well-crafted, but the prices—$7 for the coke, $23 for the martini and $21 for the negroni—felt a bit steep. Additionally, the martini could have been chilled more thoroughly, especially for the price.
While the steak menu leaned toward the pricier side, the cost was justified by the quality of the steak, service, and the overall upscale dining experience. Opting for the 16 Oz ribeye cooked medium rare, I relished a perfectly prepared, 45-day-aged delight with well-seasoned vegetables.
We also indulged in the prime rib, accompanied by mashed potatoes and horse radish, along with a complimentary side of garlic bread, albeit slightly overdone. For dessert, we shared a generously portioned, well-caramelized creme brulee.
In summary, Peters Fine Dining positions itself as a higher-priced establishment, justifiable for the quality of its food, though the same can't be said for the drinks. While not flawless, it stands out as a distinctive institution in the northeast GTA, where fine dining options are limited. I would rate this place 4.4/5 stars.

This place is a gem and an iconic steak house. Table side everything is worth the money and the staff is approachable from a fine dining to a laid back approach. And then there is the ownerTom. The Legend.

We came here last night for a family members birthday and I can easily say it was an amazing experience and meal.
My steak was perfectly done, the veggies were perfectly seasoned, my Caesar salad was great, and the service of every single interaction was wonderful and extremely kind, and Peter was lovely. The garlic bread was to die for, perfectly garlicky.
The outside of the building doesn’t show that this place is fine dining, so it may go unnoticed. Don’t sleep on it!

Nice cozy place to dine. Food is good and service. One staff reminded me of professor Snape

Everything was great.
You have to visit this Markham gem in order to appreciate everything it has to offer.
The experience starts as soon as you walk in the front door. Enjoy

I went last night with my wife for our anniversary and we found it so lovely. Atmosphere, staff and Tom were so friendly helpful and professional. Also food was so tasty and the steaks were exactly how we asked them to be. Highly Recommended!

Here's what you want to get here. Caesar salad to start (ask for extra garlic in the dressing).
Steak Dianne, medium-rare, for your main (the sauce is to die for) with a baked potato as the side, a little bit of horse radish on the side, and maybe a plate of mushrooms for the table + one bottle of red wine for every 2 people. And finish off the night with a Monte Cristo coffee.
Trust me, it will be the best meal of your life. Everything made fresh table-side and it's absolute perfection. Doeesnt need anything else. The wait staff here are real pros. If you order what I order, they will actually be making most of your food.

The food is absolutely delicious and the service was great. The mix drinks could be improved but overall a lovely dining experience.

Had a good experience dining here. Just to note that there is a surcharge of $10 for menu sharing. The food was good and the portion sizes were generous while the prices are definitely on the higher end. Service was also good, all the staff were very friendly. The restaurants atmosphere was very nice and intimate.

It is always a pleasure to go to Peters. The food is spectacular and the serving is great. It’s one of the only places you can find where they make fresh to order Ceaser salad. I look forward to going again soon.

This restaurant is a gem in Markham! Every time we visit, we always end up having a wonderful time. The service is excellent and the food is delicious.

One of the best steaks you will find and with an old world feel. It's hard to find a down side to dinner at Peter's.

Had a very enjoyable dinner. Staff were all welcoming and attentive. Food and drinks was great too. The restaurant has a great charm to it. Really cool photos post all around too

No child allowed, It's not mentioned on the website or over the phone when making a reservation. And the owner who stands at the door is very rude, as soon as he sees a child, he will ask you to leave. Not family friendly!

It’s a decent spot but pricey for what it is
The food was good. A legit steakhouse that uses quality cuts and cooks it at the perfect done-ness. The sides were delicious. But, it IS pricey for what you get. Although good, the steak is not a very special grade and it comes with only 1 side, which is annoying when you’re paying $80 for steak.
The Cesar salad was the best I’ve ever had but it wasn’t made at our table side. Our table was by the stairs so I guess they didn’t want to block the stairway? No one told us they were making our salad behind us the whole time and it really takes away from the “table side experience” when it’s not…by your table lol
Lastly, although the service was good, we did not experience this top of the notch situation that it seems everyone else got? There was no rose for a lady and, we went for a birthday but they never bothered to stop by and chat with us so they didn’t even know it was for a birthday
Prob would not come back. There are better options for $100+ a person!
