Prime Seafood Palace
Honestly one of our best dining experiences from beginning to end. This restaurant will be one of the things bringing us back to Toronto! The highlights among highlights for me was the Sicilian crudo, the strip loin, cooked to perfection, and the palace potatoes! Oh and of course , the chocolate cake was incredible. Shout out to Justin, our server- he was great! And lastly, the place is stunning!
These are the only photos I had. I had videos of the food which I could not add here.
We recently celebrated an engagement here and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely exceptional — truly the best I have ever experienced. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect and that our celebration felt so special.
The food was equally incredible. Every meal was delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with so much care and attention. The entire evening exceeded our expectations and created such a memorable experience for everyone involved.
Highly recommend for any special occasion — we will definitely be back!
If you are looking for an unparalleled culinary experience in Toronto, this is the destination. It is rare to find a venue that doesn't just meet expectations but completely redefines them, earning a "6th star" for going above and beyond the standard luxury dining experience.
The Food
The menu is a brilliant display of technique and soul. Every dish feels like a signature piece, balancing bold, innovative flavors with a deep respect for high-quality ingredients. Whether you are diving into their seasonal tasting menu or selecting individual plates, the precision in plating and the complexity of the flavor profiles are world-class. It is easily some of the best food currently being served in the city.
The Service
The service here is choreographed perfection without feeling stiff. The staff possesses an intuitive sense of "omnipresent yet invisible" hospitality—your glass is never empty, and your needs are anticipated before you even realize them. They treat every guest with a level of genuine warmth and professionalism that makes the evening feel like a significant event, regardless of the occasion.
I honestly haven’t had such a flawless dinner experience in a long time. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the dishes were exceptional both in taste and presentation. The service team was incredibly professional whenever you needed something, they were right there. The atmosphere of the place is very elegant, yet it also feels comfortable. The prices are high, but they’re absolutely worth it. It’s a perfect choice for special occasions. It has become one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto.
Came here to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and had an amazing experience from start to finish. We were seated exactly as requested when booking, which was a great start.
The service was phenomenal, thoughtful, seamless, and incredibly professional. We were welcomed by the host, server, sommelier, and even the staff presenting the steak cuts. It genuinely felt like everyone took part in making the night special, each with deep knowledge of their role.
We were recommended a beautiful bottle of red wine, and the Australian Wagyu (the evening’s special cut) was incredible. At one point, they presented a 60oz steak—which was way too ambitious for the two of us (for now 😅), but definitely something we’d come back for.
Every dish felt like its own moment, even the sides. New plates were refreshed with each course, and our wine glasses were never left empty.
Truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had, left full, happy, and already thinking about coming back.
Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere and amazing staff. The service is truly top-notch: the menu is explained very well, plates are cleared quickly, and the team is attentive without being intrusive. The cocktails were excellent and very well balanced, and our table location was perfect.
The menu is small, but every dish feels carefully crafted and executed with precision. Portions were actually quite generous, which is not always the case at restaurants in this price range.
The 12 oz prime rib came as two thick slices served with bordelaise sauce. The sauce was good, though maybe not the absolute best pairing for the meat. The lobster spaghetti was very good as well, but perhaps missing a little extra je ne sais quoi to make it truly memorable. The Hokkaido scallops were outstanding — perfectly cooked and literally melting in the mouth.
The only downside was that the food took a little while to arrive, and the prices are definitely on the very high side. Is it worth it? I’m not completely sure.
Overall though, it was a great experience and a very enjoyable evening.

I don’t usually write long Google reviews, but I had to share my experience from last night. As someone who works in events and has been fortunate to enjoy many different dining experiences over the years, I can honestly say this was the most special dining experience of my life thus far. When I made my reservation, I didn’t mention that it was my birthday. I felt a little shy about taking myself out for a solo celebration. When I arrived, I was greeted with such warm and genuine energy. I was asked if I was celebrating anything, and I quietly shared that it was my birthday and I was taking myself out for the first time solo.
The team went above and beyond. I felt truly welcomed, cared for, and incredibly well fed. I sat at the bar, where I got to watch Santana craft such a variety of drinks. That was so entertaining in itself, and she balanced it all effortlessly while making sure I was comfortable and looked after. Every single person who stopped by to hand me a drink or drop off food, was so lovely and nice. They really showed care and kindness and that was so refreshing to experience - it was like I was being greeted in a friends home. To top it off, the evening ended with my coat, already waiting for me at the exit and with a quick tour of the kitchen, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch.
The entire team was fantastic and everything felt seamless from start to finish. Thank you, Prime Seafood. I will never forget this experience.

Had a wonderful time here!
Food is top notch
Ceviche is mind blowing. Must try
Curry tastes very similar to what I tried at a Michelin restaurant in Thailand
Steak is okay I liked the chili sauce on the side
Basil ice cream was very refreshing!
Service is also V good
Felt welcomed! They also bring new dishes for each menu
One downside is that it takes very long for the food to come out.. lots of gaps between each menu
But overall highly recommend this place
10/10

Wow — what an incredible meal! It was our first time here and we will definitely be back. My partner surprised me with an early Valentine’s dinner, and we were both so impressed from start to finish.
We loved the attention to detail, especially how they took our coats as soon as we walked in — such a lovely touch. Our server, Katie, was so warm and welcoming and really made the experience feel special.
The food was absolutely outstanding — we loved the prime rib and Yorkshire pudding, and the lobster spaghetti was amazing!
To top off the night, we were given a tour of the kitchen — it was huge and such a wow factor. Thank you for making our early Valentine’s celebration so memorable.

It's like my friend said: "Expensive meals are an experience, and worth the cost." I couldn't agree more. Never in my 44 years on this rock have I ever had a wonderful experience with food and service. The staff was a 10 out of 10. Our waiter Luca was extraordinary, and Conor, the General Manager, made us feel like VIP guests by giving us a tour of their kitchen. All wood, by the way!The architectural design of this place was also a marvel to admire between dishes. Highly recommend. less

Had the octopus& stracciatella to start very well executed.
Scallops were good- not blown away.
32 oz Prime chared with bordelaise(PERFECTION)
cabbage Milanese(WOW)
Mixed mushrooms were good! Fresh Horseradish, THE YORKSHIRE-EXCELLENT EXECUTION.
Fantastic cocktails, decor was contemporary…pretty cool. Loved the unassuming entrance! Fantastic washroom MUST SEE! Service knowledgeable, unobtrusive, friendly.
Thank you
I visited Sunday evening with my family. From the time we sat down the waitress , sommelier and others were upselling the quantity of food and choice of wine despite my insistence of specific menu items and choice of wine .the portions were very small and abusive when comparing with price . 4 slices of filet mignon and a wagyu totalled close to 500$ . The dessert a slice of a simple chocolate cake 28$. It goes on and on . The service disorganized and frankly I needed to get this off my chest. Completely ridiculous and totally unjustified.
PRIME SEAFOOD PALACE, Toronto
We were seated at the bar and our first encounter was with Molly who was very charming and extremely helpful. I had brought a bottle of Champagne which they immediately put on ice while I enjoyed an excellent French 75.
My friend started with the Sicilian Crudo, basically sashimi of tuna, kingfish and salmon floating in olive oil and an herb that might have been basil. My first thought was, why would you want to take fish that already has its own natural oil and add more oil? It didn't work and as a result was a huge disappointment.
Her main dish was the filet mignon, which tasted okay, accompanied by wild mushrooms which were also, just okay.
I had the Beluga Caviar and Accoutrements, the latter being potato chips, tiny hash brown squares, finely chopped shallots and creme fraiche. Potato chips? The hashed brown squares were greasy and introduced an element to the dish that was not compatible. It was disappointing.
My main was the A5 Wagyu from Australia. It was excellent. However, it came with a ponzu sauce and raw egg that I found to be unnecessary; a little sea salt was all it needed. I had a side order of peppers, very nice, and the Palace potatoes which I was told consisted of "26 or 28 layers"; they were nothing special and had an element of greasiness.
The Key Lime pie was good.
I think the classic dishes, sashimi and caviar, can be ruined by a chef's misguided idea that olive oil and potato chips can improve the experience. Simple soy sauce and blinis, respectively, are all that would be necessary. To me it reeks of pretension.
The restaurant has no softness to its decor, and we found it very noisy.
The staff was first class and very professional.
By the way, my Champagne was excellent but wasted on a below average dinner.
Overall, a huge disappointment that offered no value for the price.
Honestly, if I could give this place a thousand stars, I would.
I never in my life has said that about any restaurant.
Prime Seafood Palace isn’t just a restaurant… it’s an experience. From the first hello to the very last bite, everything felt absolutely surreal. The food was perfection, the atmosphere stunning, and the service… I have no words, only awe.
We had a table for seven to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and I had called ahead asking if there was any way they could prepare fried scallops (his absolute favorite dish). They kindly explained that it wasn’t part of their menu — which I completely understood. But midway through dinner, to my absolute shock, they surprised us with a completely custom dish: golden, crisp, perfectly cooked fried scallops. The look on his face — and honestly, on everyone’s at the table — was pure joy.
That moment alone showed what this place is truly about: genuine care, creativity, and a love for their craft. They didn’t just serve food; they created a memory that we’ll never forget.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable night — one that makes you feel seen, celebrated, and utterly spoiled — Prime Seafood Palace is the place.
