Steaks come in various sizes and preparations char-broiled, bacon-wrapped or topped with peppercorn or béarnaise sauce. All are accompanied by garlic bread, kosher pickles, and a potato or rice. Other choices include ribs, salmon and rack of lamb. The after-theatre menu also offers cheese or beef fondue for two. The most charming dessert is chocolate mousse presented in a white-and-dark chocolate house. Award-winning wine list.

Steak purists will be delighted with their options simply grilled top quality beef, served with salad and potato or rice. Of course, there are other equally good choices, including cedar planked salmon, double cut pork chops, lamb and veal chops, and a fabulous chipotle sirloin. Save room for the signature dessert: bread pudding studded with brandy-soaked cranberries and white and dark chocolate chunks. Solid wine list.

416-777-2111 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. Housed in the elegant 1917 Toronto Harbour Commission building, this upscale steakhouse sets the standard in Toronto. Steaks are king, whether you're a ribeye kind of person or you prefer a porterhouse, Harbour 60 accommodates. The prime rib is second to none, as well, but if you're not in the mood for steak, the veal chops and grilled ahi are excellent choices. An award-winning wine list stretches to over 20 pages, with over 700 selections, and desserts are more than worthy of their stylish surroundings.

416-364-6600 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. Part of a small, historic steakhouse chain, Hy's is something of a Toronto institution, and it is a lovely place to enjoy a special night out. Perfectly aged steaks are the draw, with several cuts and preparations available, from an expertly charcoal broiled NY strip to a more elaborate filet mignon topped with crab and hollandaise. The Cajun spice rubbed ribeye is a winner, but one of the most popular choices is prime rib served with Yorkshire pudding. Sides include beer battered onion rings, fresh spinach or asparagus, and grilled tomatoes.

There's also chicken, baked salmon, ribs, and a nice selection of share-able sides like asparagus, sautéed mushrooms and cheesy cauliflower.

Charcoal broiled prime steaks are accompanied by garlic bread, salad, and a potato or rice. Other options include Dover sole, broiled scallops, veal chops and filet mignon topped with paté de foie gras. There are also several surf and turf options and unlike most steakhouses, La Castile also offers smaller portions for lighter appetites.

416-955-1455 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. This beloved chain of steakhouses bills itself as the "Home of Serious Steaks," and one visit will tell you that's more than a marketing slogan. Steaks are known for their sizzle, achieved by a dollop of butter when removed from the oven; your choice cut will still be sputtering when placed in front of you. Not for calorie-counters, but for true steak lovers, Ruth's Chris is also known for great service, an extensive wine list, and an atmosphere of comfortable elegance.

Irrefutably one of Toronto's most celebrated restaurants, The Fifth couples stellar French cuisine with a beautiful, intimate ambience and incredible creature comforts. Entrance through a nightclub and via vintage elevator delivers guests into a refined environment alight with candles and character. The menu is a sensuous delight, rich with Kobe beef carpaccio, shark fin soup, roasted beef tenderloin, caramelized duck breast, poached skate wing, and milk-fed veal. Incredible wines and eminently creative!

416-366-6583 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. Stained glass windows, warm woods, grand piano Tom Jones is a throwback to the days when people dined. It has the exclusive feel of a private club, without the attitude. Start with traditional shrimp cocktail, oysters on the half shell, French onion soup, or the tableside Caesar salad. Big (the smallest is a 10 oz filet mignon) USDA Prime steaks are the top choice for mains, although prime rib, lobster and crab are good alternatives. The exceptional wine list has earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence.
