Topiary’s Steak & Seafood

I attended a business lunch here recently. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The décor is classic and comfortable. The food was very good and the service was attentive and friendly. Will certainly come back here for personal dining occassions in the future.
Great dessert menu too!

We took grandma out as part of her Christmas gift. We enjoyed ourselves. Two of us had steak andthe third person full rack of ribs. The food was excellent and the service was even better.

This place was recommended to me as a great place in the Malton area. I tried the Breaded Calamari served with their taziki dipping sauce and lemon wedge. It was very good… fresh and portion was fair.
Also, their service was good. I went online but they are updating their website. Offered to email their menu to me. I got it right away.
I would try this place again!

Went to this place with my cousin & wife for a mid-​evening dinner. I use to be a regular at this Resto but decided to expand where I would have dinner. This is a old fashion sit down white table cloth dining location. The location itself is straight out of the mid 19^th century with intricately carved wood paneling, high ceilings & classic architecture a great restaurant. Although it’s loss a step the food was still solid. I had a 6oz Fillet with side baked & veggies. Pretty decent dinner. I also had for an apie the shrimp cocktail. They were a big as a babies arm & delicious! I’d go again.

The restaraunt is stunning if not quaint, but the food is atrocious. They don’t even know how to dress a salad properly.
This is the kind of restaurant I’d expect to see on Gordon Ramsays show.
I mean, we went there on Friday, Valentines weekend, and the place was practically empty.
Also, $ 40.00 for a peppercorn steak?! Had I not had gift certificates (another obvious bad omen) for the place, we would have left at that point.

Attended for a business lunch pasta with grilled chicken was delicious
Service as always very attentive and friendly
Fellow diner had a greek salad and fresh oysters and he enjoyed his meal.

We got gift certificates for this restaurant last Christmas and forgot about them. when I went to the website I learned that they were under new management. Fortunately they had it right on the website that they would honor the previous managements gift certificates, which is nice. It’s a huge restaurant, and it is very ornate. Typical old school steak house in the same vein as La Castile. Lots of wood, stained glass and floral wallpaper. The waiters are in tuxes, and are very good at their jobs, service is excellent. My husband and I both opted for the filet mignon. It started with greens in a vinaigrette. My husband asked if he could get a caesar salad instead. Most places will allow it, with an upcharge. No, he was told. he would have to order the appetizer salad ($ 10). I got my greens. mediocre. Nothing special. Decent basalmic vinaigrette. He got the caesar salad. It was ok. Maybe slightly better than most. Our steaks came, mine with garlic mashed potatoes and his with french fries. Being a steak house, the potatoes come in a seperate bowl. A small amount of possibly the worst fries we have ever tasted in a bowl. The garlic mashed were bland — barely tasted any garlic, I stole the butter from the bread basket that was put on our table on arrival to try and liven them up a bit, added way more salt than I am usually comfortable with. The side vegetables (carrots, an asparagus spear and bok choy) were not al dente, but full on crunchy. The steak, while cooked perfectly was a bit on the bland side, and would have been better with a bit of bernaise on the side. We opted out of dessert. Overall, it is a pricey restaurant that has mediocre food for the price. If you are a seafood lover, maybe you would enjoy it more than we did, the shrimps we saw on one ladies plate as we passed by looked enormous. It’s a very old crowd in there, which explains the bland menu. Might be nice for a family occasion, but I can think of many other places that are a lot more delicious and fun.

I was that Topiary’s on Saturday night and it was just a wonderful experience it’s truly a five-​star restaurant the food was excellent the staff were friendly and excellent and I don’t know what more to say this is the most wonderful restaurant I’ve ever been to.

We’ve dined here twice for two special anniversary occasions. You’d never know it from the exterior but it’s literally a misplaced gem on Derry Road! Lovely ambiance and décor inside, like dining in a French castle, very fitting for fancy and romantic occasions when you want to impress your company. Service has always been very professional and attentive. We’ve never been here on a ‘busy’ day so that may not be saying much although it does not take away from then. Always delectable entrees. You sure pay for what you get but have never left unhappy. Recommended for special occasions!

Very fancy place that my family has been coming to for years. The owner is a nice guy who comes over to our table to chat with us (we’ve known him from his previous restaurant). The type of place you’d go for an anniversary or birthday dinner, we’ve never had a bad experience here. Very nice atmosphere on the inside that reminds me of a decorated castle of some sort, complete with the large doors and ridiculously high ceilings to match.
Their steaks and seafood are their speciality (as the name suggests). The waitstaff are extremely good at their job (water glass never got empty, they sneakily removed all empty dishes, etc), so if they’re forgetful or rude you can probably bet it was on purpose.
My personal favourite is their ribs, which can get a bit messy but they bring you a small water-​dish to wash your fingers. Lobster and filet mignon is also a family favourite.

It is what it is. The place is extremely ornate and on the verge of kitsch. Yes, the service was very good and the food was good. All-​in-​all for that are, it’s a good restaurant.

It has been awhile since I’ve dined here, but it was memorable enough to write about. I know that had some kind of amazing steak (probably Neptune), but the service sticks out in my mind the most. Impeccable waiter service would never let my drink get below the ice and I never worried about an empty, dirty plate sitting in front of me either (both pet peeves of mine, especially when paying these prices). We dined for a couple of hours and the entire experience was great. If you can lay down the «dough», give them a shot next time you are in the Toronto area.
