Prime Seafood Palace is a modern steakhouse offering a selection of beef, seafood, and vegetables all sourced from purveyors we love and value. Unexpected - a space to truly experience in person. The main entry is located in a quiet courtyard, drawing patrons away from the humming activity of Queen Street West. Inspired by Matty Matheson’s East Coast roots and appreciation for architecture, our design is conceptualized as a light-filled cathedral clad in white maple, with a menu that gives nod to the classic steakhouse tradition.

Why we love it

Executive chef: Coulson Armstrong

MICHELIN Plate
2022

“Palace” is an apt description for celebrity chef Matty Matheson’s steak and seafood temple. With slatted maple panelling and brass accents, the interior gives off Scandi-style sleekness. The steakhouse-influenced menu is full of premium cuts with fancy flourishes, plus caviar service.

Here is my authentic review and perspective of this place. Atmosphere: Amazing! I loved the interior design, it wasn’t what I expected since it’s one of Matty’s restaurant. I went during the night time, closer towards closing time and it was quite lovely and calm. Service: It’s was great! I loved my waiter and the other waiters as they were very quick on cleaning the table for the next course. Always coming around asking how we are doing and how the food is. Food: I had higher expectations. Looking at other reviews, the highlight dishes seemed to be the crudo, palace bacon, palace potatoes, and the rib. I got other dishes - filet mignon, beets, and the caviar bite. Crudo: I love raw seafood, don’t get me wrong. I’ve had it at other restaurants and they were delicious on its own. The one here came with an olive oil based sauce with a hint of citrus and chopped onions which enhanced the taste of the dish - made it 10X better but I didn’t really like the cut of these. I am a sashimi lover, but the one here wasn’t as good. Palace Bacon: It was delicious but it didn’t wow me. I think it is overhyped. Potatoes: It was very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside… maybe a little sea salt would makes it a 9. It came with aioli, but the aioli didn’t even enhance the taste. Overrated in my opinion. By the time I got there they ran out of the rib, so we opted for the filet - it was ok… I highly recommend the caviar bite AND the beets. They were the highlight of this dinner. I loved how the crispy hashbrown and caviar complimented each other with the different textures. I also asked for bread to go with the rest of the “crudo sauce”. The milk bread was AMAZING, and it’s not even on their menu… tastes better than the potatoes. OVERALL: Loved the atmosphere and service, however at the price point I had higher expectations in terms of the flavour and textures of the food served.

Got sat at the bar with my wife. The bartender was very welcoming, walked us through the menu, made suggestions and carried a good conversation throughout. When our food came out (really) late, the bartender apologized and gave us a round of drinks on the house. After the meals, she also added an extra dessert. The food was good but outside of the breads, nothing popped out as delicious or unique. The bartender really salvaged the night. Worth trying once.

Excellent food and service. We were seated in the ‘back room’ due to large party ie. 8 people. The atmosphere while fine was not as appealing as the main dining room.

WE ORDERED: GEM SALAD PALACE BACON CABBAGE WITH CHICKEN SKIN 12 OZ PRIME RIB PALACE POTATOES YORKSHIRE PUDDING BEARNAISE SAUCE MILKTOAST ICE CREAM> THIS WAS MY SECOND TIME HERE AND ITS ALWAYS ONE OF THE BEST MEALS I EAT. the obvious must haves: palace bacon, sliced prime rib, bernaise sauce. without question. always. palace bacon - almost asked to order a second order to go the cabbage was a delightful surprise and knocked our socks off. very complicated. i've never had cabbage take me on a journey like that. many unexpected flavors ... all good. i feel like the guy floating to the window with a pie in it. wonderful surprise - i recommend the cabbage I dont even wanna talk about the bearnaise its so good. would love if the palace potatoes just came with bernaise. would love if everything in my life cam e with ther bernaise. i like the sliced prime rib more than the palace cut. but perhaps this is because im simple. i like it this way. and cooked perfect. and sauced perfec. all hands on deck, yall knocked it outta the park with that one im anti yorkshire pudding for personal reasons but this one was good. i break it up and make sandwiches with the bernaise and prime rib. i like that the staff is ok with me getting a little sily with it. no matter the price or the venue i like to make a little sandwich i like the prime seafood palace accepts me as i am. and i like how wonderful their staff is. This is a nice restaurant and they have the be able to cater to that clientelle but they are cool with me being a little silly with it. food is stellar, staff is stellar. its nice to look at. cant recommend enough. I come at least once a year, get ready to see me again next july . love u
