Best Steakhouses in Distillery District

Excellent food and attention from very professional staff was flawless - from arrival to departure. Argentinian steak was fabulous, 4 side dishes among 5 were just right. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed the crab and spinach and the squash roll. Tarte tatin was good but maybe ease up the whipping cream as it was distracting - I should have just scraped it off. Finished off with two very nice bourbons. Only downsides and not so terrible - low lighting forced us all to get out the iPhone flashlights to read the menus, and it was a touch erratic achieving an optimal temperature on the heated terrace although heat coming from below the floor was a novel feature! I understand it’s hard to get that just right. All in all everyone really enjoyed the evening.

Linny's offers the whole package. A unique and elegantly designed space with an atmosphere that takes you back to the 50's, paired with warm service and delicious food. We started with the challah service, which is baked daily and served with a delicious housemade jam that apparently changes with the seasons. After that, a few noshes; the fresh house salad tossed with bulgar and champagne vinegraite, king salmon served with crispy potato latkes, and the unexpectedly delightful kasha bows pasta, which was complimented perfectly by the addition of truffles. For our mains, we enjoyed a combination of perfectly cooked hanger steak, mushroom crepe, and the crunchiest fries on ossington. The cabbage with beemster cheese was also *chefs kiss* 👌 Our server Vanessa and the whole team was very friendly, and we can't wait to come back. PS. The babka dessert was incredible, but also try the apple cake with a scoop of their vanilla ice cream for good measure.

Excellent food and outstanding service! The only issue I noticed was related to accessibility. My mother has mobility issues and had to climb 2 flights of stairs to go to the restroom. Apart from that, excellent experience!

Went here last night for my daughter's 12th birthday. They treated her like a Queen! We had a lovely cozy booth upstairs and so many of the staff came by to say happy birthday. It was lovely! She felt very special! She has dined all over the world at the top steakhouses. She rated Hys right up there with the best she has tried. And mom loved the bananas foster-hardly any places do this anymore and it was fantastic. Thank you Hys for making birthday 12 so special! Well done!

Aera is one of my favourite restaurants to celebrate anything. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and I brought him to celebrate. The food is AMAZING! I ordered the rigatoni and he ordered the stuffed chicken with a side of mash potatoes. The portions are amazing you will definitely leave feeling full! The restaurant has a stunning view over the city, and it is an amazing place to take cute photos. Staff is really sweet, and definitely makes you feel welcomed. The prices are reasonable and you won’t break the bank to eat luxury.
