Peter’s Fine Dining

The Caesar salad is made tables ode for two. The peters cut prime rib is over 24oz. It is simply the best prime rib in the city. They also give every lady a rose when you leave. Very classy restaurant. Thanks for the free birthday chocolate cake. This place is a gem in markham.

I took my parents here recently for their 30^th anniversary dinner. I had called previously to get reservations and ensure that they would be able to accommodate for a vegetarian. That’s always tricky with steakhouses. They did, which was great!
We had 2 of our guests who worked late that day and we had to shift the reservation time by an hour and the restaurant was extremely accommodating. Was worried about the last minute change, but when I called, they were superb about it.
I LOVE the ambiance. The restaurant and its servers exude an old school, classical fine dining aura within the restaurant. It can’t be compared to steakhouses with modern dining flair like Jacobs, but for a family dinner, I much preferred Peter’s Fine Dining to Jacobs, where I had celebrated my brother’s birthday a few months earlier.
The prices were also very reasonable. For 6 of us, the bill came to under 500 including tax and tips. We didn’t order very much alcohol, but I had noticed quite a few reasonable options on the wine list as well.
If you do visit, definitely order one of their liqueur coffees. They make it right in front of you, really quite the performance. :) The ladies were each given a long-​stem rose at the end of the meal, which was a lovely gesture.
The only thing to note is that parking is limited. There are a few spots in the front and a few in the back and along one side of the building, which doesn’t look very big.

This place is my favourite place in Markham to go Meatetarian! Great atmosphere inside (think Barberian’s) and the wait staff is very attentive. They have a very cool host that works at the door — he’s super tall and he kind of reminds me of Gene Simmons (this is a compliment). They offer free parking and it’s so convenient over driving to downtown Toronto to grab an amazing meal.
I ordered the ‘Peter’s Cut’ prime rib and received a generous portion, along with seasonal vegetables and their garlic mashed potatos. It’s so much food that you do not need to order any apps beforehand. They did go a little heavy on the butter on their garlic bread, but it was enough to bother me, and they still get a 5 star rating from me!
Went with their New York style cheesecake and it was amazing… absolutely stuffed afterwards… but it was a ‘good’ stuffed.
This place has been in Markham for as long as I can remember. If you haven’t tried it, please do yourself a favour and go! Way better than the Keg, Ruth’s Chris, and Morton’s. I put it up there with Barberian’s (my other fav).

Amazing food and service.
Must try the Peter’s cut prime rib. The best prime rib I have ever had.
All other dishes are above average.
Must try if you are in Markham.

We went here for a work event and it was a fabulous experience. It definitely is fine dinning and the service was excellent.
We enjoyed the freshly made Caesar salad made from scratch and made to order. The quickly whipped it up and it was absolutely divine. Very flavourful and seasoned perfectly.
I ordered the steak as my entrée and it was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed each succulent bite and finished my steak in no time flat. Along with the steak were some carrots and broccoli, and a baked potato. They even serve up the toppings for the baked potato which included butter and sour cream. I also enjoyed the pickles and olives that they put out for everyone to enjoy.
The last course was dessert which was a choice of pecan pie, truffle or cheesecake. By the time I got to the dessert I was pretty much stuffed and I got the chocolate pecan pie. I found the pie to be a little bit disappointing in that it was a bit bland and didn’t taste at all like I thought it would. Moreover, didn’t like the raspberry sauce they served with it as the flavours seemed to clash.
Overall, it was a great experience and the food was great! Definitely worth going to when you want a nice steak or prime rib.

I have to say this restaurant is one of the best places I have been to. From the service to the food and the décor, it was fantastic. I had the New York striploin and I have to say that is was the juiciest and most tender steak I’ve had. My knife just fell through meat. I will definitely be going back and I recommend this to anyone that is interested in a great steakhouse.
The service just made the experience that much better. When we made the reservation they asked if it was a special occasion, which it was we went for a birthday dinner, they had a slice of cake waiting for after the meal for the birthday boy. They also gave the females at the table a pink rose each. What a great idea and it just made it so much nicer. It was special and unique.
I could really keep going on about how great this was but I think you need to experience this for yourself and see how great this place really is.

Went to dinner here last night for a birthday party. the environment was excellent. The host and servers are always frendly. I didnt have to ask for water as the friendly waiter always top my glass of water.
Very good i believe it is a nice place to bring a date to. We were a big group of people. All the orders came in at same time was excellent.
Complimentary garlic toast as well as all those in pickled cucumber.
For an appetizer we ordered green salad with creamy garlic. Although u dont get a big portion of saladbut it was nice and creamy. The soup of the day was creamy broccoli, not too salty was perfect another soup that we had was French onion soup, that one was a little bit more salty love the cheese on the top of the soup.
For the main course we ordered the rib eye bone in steak medium rare. when they brought it out it was perfect crispy on the outside and very rare on the inside I loved it. The flavors were excellent well balanced salt very tender for 55 $ 24oz i believe.
Another dish that we had was a single lobster tail with mashed potato on the side. The lobster flavor was nice but a little bit more dry.
I will come back it was very nice because at the end any ladies were given the flower to all the ladies in the table. That was perfect. Its a very nice place to go for some very well cook meat. All host and servers are very nice. When the bill came, we ask if all the bills can be split and they happy to accommodate our request. I been here 2 times now bith experience were very good.
Im writting this at 5am almost, sorry if i miss anything or my grammar is not top.

Love this place, we go there for special occasions, never disappoints, the appetizers are incredible and always fresh, raw oysters are delicate, Cesar salad is made in front of you, the stake Diane is to die for, always delicious.

My first visit to Peter’s was in 1995 for our Christmas staff party. I still remember how cozy and romantic this place was. My highlight of course was their 16 oz Rib-​eye steak! Their appetizers were excellent also but wow-​their Steak umm yummy. It was divine…
20 years later, still working at the same company, we revisited Peter’s to celebrate our company milestone turning 50! Sure, décor hasn’t changed much neither did the quality of their service and «The Steak». I ordered 16 oz New York Striploin *aged to perfection* and I was very very happy!
By far, my favourite restaurant in Markham!!! Great service and staff are great!

LOVE LOVE this restaurant.
Yeah, it’s old-​school. The décor is dated and Peter’s is located on some road amidst apartment buildings and a gas station. But once inside, you are transported into a different era (okay a bit much, but I’m excited in writing this review!)
I decided to take my dad here for Father’s Day, at his bequest. The place is tiny, but we were so lucky in getting a private-​ish table on the «second floor» (which is only 4 steps up). I’m so glad we got this table because there was no one behind me and no one behind my dad. Love the older man with the crazy hair. It’s like a Lion’s mane — all thick, black, and flowing.
Service was amazing and we started off with a bottle of Amarone della Valpolicella. We even got it in a fancy decanter which started the evening.
Highlights of the night were the table-​made Ceasar Salad which is a show in itself. Both my dad and SO ordered the meat which comes in a very GENEROUS portion. I went for the Dover Sole (yumyum) and my mom decided to splurge with Alaskan King Crab. Seriously, the menu here has something for everyone and the prices reflect the generous (I can say that again) portion size.
I would highly recommend this place for parents and special occasion events, but hey, if you’re in the area it could be a regular jaunt as well. Somehow, the old-​ness of this place is what makes it so charming. And with waiters dressed in their penguin suits delivering A+ service, it just elevates Peter’s that much more.
5 stars in my books!

Oh I didnt review this place yet! I’m shocked… what’s wrong with me!
Alright alright lets start with the most important thing when we go out to eat, the food! Thats right lets not lie here the food is key priority for me and these guys got it right!!!
The steaks are amazing, the salad I almost died when I had, it was just SO GOOD! That’s it, thats all I have to say the food is unbelievable you won’t argue with me when you have it… Great drinks best old fashion I’ve had in a long time and garlic bread is good too… I’m hungry again…
So Char… why 4* (well because Unilocal doesn’t have 4.5 thats why!). The second most important thing is service. I enjoyed my table side service and the present at the end 5* my friends. But while I was there, there was a group of waiters arguing over who stole who’s $ 50 tip… sorry for me left a very bad taste in my mouth when I see people running back and forth accusing each other of stealing money… your diners are right there, take it to the back… also the seat they put me in was right by the kitchen and my chair got kicked like 7 times… :(
HOWEVER, with that all said, the food is still so good you could put me in the back kitchen and have someone constantly kick my butt and I’ll STILL be back…
Oh but it’s expensive… don’t kid yourself and I think the prices on the website are a little off, my caesar salad (for two) was $ 24 think only it was $ 21. Still worth it though!

Peter’s is a nice and great place to have a great prime rib! For the price you pay its totally worth it! Our whole table of 8 got the regular cut prime rib with a baked potato! It was cooked to perfection!
Once you walked through the doors you were greeted. The main person was very friendly and gave out roses to the ladies at the table at the end of the meal.
The only thing that this place needs to improve on are the waiters who reach infront of customers at the table to pour water, serve food and remove dishes. A simple «pardon my reach» or even an «excuse me» so we can acknowledge that you’re about to reach infront of our faces instead of being surprised with your arm inches away from our face.
I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to others

Service and quality is superb, peter cut prime rib is excellent, I have Gout and rolling the dice on my meal was worth it, my date had the lobster tail and she thought it was above average, she said she has had better elsewhere.
We did actually go in for the table side Cherries Jubilee for 2, it was delicious for my first try and my date put it up in her top 2 Jubilees’
I will have to try other cuts from the menu but they have earned my business.

We had our anniversary dinner here last week. Fantastic service; they offered us fresh rose and one free dessert with nice message written on it for our anniversary celebration.
We had:
1) crab cakes: made with real crab meat, tasted fresh and delicious.
2) peppercorn steak, with the peppercorn sauce made at your table. It was a fun
3) steak with scallops: both were cooked to perfection.
4) desserts: cheesecake and apple pie, which were good but not great
Overall, we had a good time

visited this restaurant for a quiet meal. This was he perfect restaurant for an intimate gathering.
Get the house special prime rib. Excellent choice. Huge delicious steak.
Excellent selection of wines and drinks.
Service is excellent. They treat you with respect and class.
A bit dated for the décor, but that is what they are going for.
Lots of selections for an excellent dinner.

Being raised in Markham you could imagine my surprise to see a fining dining option right down the street. Once you step inside, you enter a world of another tier. As you take your seats the waiters will offer up their hearts. Throughout the night, a waiter will engage your group in a polite conversation. This is truly a lovely treat.
Leaning on previous reviews, we decided to go for the caesar salad and fillet mignon. Both were magnificent! Now, you’ve probably had ‘cesar salad’ plenty of times before, in your head you could probably picture it. Yet nothing could have prepared us for this…
i’ll stop on this note as my words only diminish the experience. Words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. Now go. Go and experience it with your loved ones.

Fine dining Gem in Unionville! Good steak and seafood restaurant. They offer unlimited garlic bread which is super yum! Had the prime rib which was good, but most prime ribs I find are quite similar. Sides are the usual.
The best part of this restaurant is the dessert and service! The waiters are all dressed up and very classic and provided great service. The place is very old school looking and even looked a bit dingy from the outside, here’s where they lost points. However, the food is good, old fashion and wholesome. For desserts we ordered the the banana foster pour deux and the crêpe suzette pour deux, it might seem kinna pricey at $ 22 but I think it’s worth it. They bring out this cart with different flavouring and liqueurs and they cook it in front of you. Cooking the differnt ingredients and lighting the liqueur on fire and putting on a show for you. Which was quite entertaining and is good for special occasions. The Banada foster tasted quite good and it’s reallly different from anything else i’ve had before. The sauteed bananas with cinnamon and brown sugar as well as rum was divine. Cooked fresh and placed over vanilla ice-​cream is exactly what you are paying for with the 22 bux! Of course you get two portions as it is for two people. I must say that I thought the crêpe suzette was not as good. The crêpe was not as professionally made, although fresh. They need to optimize their batter a little bit to make it more smooth. Also it may be because I just don’t like the orange flavour as much and it is lacking a fruit component.
Overall very happy with the quality and portions of the food and the quality of the service. There is ample parking in the parking lot.

I took my sister and our s/o’s here to celebrate my sister’s purchase of a condo. We were looking for a good place to have steak that wasn’t The Keg, and wasn’t downtown. Peter’s was exactly what we were looking for.
I called in the late afternoon of the same day to secure a reservation last Friday night. They were very accomodating and nice on the phone. We arrived to find a good sized parking lot to the back of the building. We were greeted at the door and led to our table, where the chairs were pulled out for the ladies and drink orders were taken.
Even though they are a fine dining facility, we saw some patrons casually dressed in jeans and shirts, so it was pretty casual in here. No need to dress up super nice.
We were offered some delicious garlic bread, pickles and olives while we went over the menu.
We ordered the Oysters Rockefellar — $ 19 — to share, there were 6 pieces total and all were big plump fresh juicy oysters that weren’t overcooked. Very nice! We enjoyed this a lot.
My sister and I ordered the Regular Cut Prime Rib — $ 36 — (nothing regular about this, this was a huge piece of tender juicy meat!). My favourite thing about this was it was soaked in the jus rather than having the jus in a tiny little sauce container on the side. Each entrée comes with vegetables and a potato (fries, mash or baked).
My bf ordered the Peter’s Cut Prime Rib — $ 44 — this thing was HUGE. It was two inches thick with the bone in. Next time I go, I will order this one so I can have the rest for lunch and dinner the next day lol.
My sister’s bf ordered the Porterhouse — $ 50 — I didn’t get to try this but it didn’t look that good. And for $ 50, I guess it would be better next time to stick to what this place is known for and go with the Prime Rib.
We were so stuffed after the mains (we all had leftovers to take home), we didn’t have any room for dessert.
I rather liked the décor of the place. It was old school looking but not at all dirty. Being a hardcore hockey fan, the hockey décor in the stairwell leading to the washroom, while a little bit random, was to me enjoyable.
My only problem was the cost of bottled imported beer. One bottle of Heineken ($ 8.75) cost more than a pint of Moretti ($ 8.50).
The ladies at the table each got a rose at the end of the meal. Nice surprise :)
I would definitely come back for celebrations or just to satisfy any prime rib cravings I might be having.

It is really 4.5 stars.
I have dined at Peter’s a few times before it changes owners. Last Sunday was my first visit under the new ownership and management. First thing I noticed was the interior décor. It is old school like before, but the wood trim has been freshen up, the wallpaper is new, the lighting has been upgraded. The place was much darker in old times probably to hide the imperfection of the décor. It now proudly allows natural light to come through the windows. Many table lamps add a romantic European feel. Peter’s now bears a similar feel to Old Ebbitt Grill of D.C., yet it is smaller and more intimate.
We ordered a prime rib, regular cut, 18oz ($ 35) and a New York steak (8oz) with scallops ($ 45). Without drilling on it, let me say that everything Billy K said about the prime rib was true. It was a sensational steak, marinated and roasted to perfection. The cut was great, the texture was tender, and it was easy to chew through. I can’t think of a better steak in recent memory, including the ones in Texas and Calgary. My dining partner said his NY steak was rich in flavour and was a good cut. The scallops were very fresh.
For dessert we ordered a crème brûlée to share. It was also made the old fashioned way. I had never seen a restaurant served so many bits of fresh fruit on a brulee. The sugar crust was thick. I loved it.
The services was professional and gentlemen. All the waiters were in suits. My waiter seemed too stiff.
Peter’s may not be a regular dinner restaurant for me, but it is a perfect steakhouse for occasions and to treat clients. Plus, I will say that $ 35 for 18 oz of fine prime rib is CHEAP. The rest of the entrees are all pushing $ 50 per plate. Peter’s is worthy of the pretty pennies that it charges though.

I have been passing by Peter’s for many times and wondering what’s inside this standalone antique house. Finally, I was here! It seemed like stepping back into the past at the time I stepped inside this restaurant. The décor, wall paper, carpet and all the fixtures bought me back in time.
We were greeted by a gentleman who looked like a classy butler. Our server was pleasant. We started with oyster Rockefeller, Caesar salad and bread. The salad was tossed right at our table and it was good. The bread came with butter which was in the shape of ball and size like a marble. Haven’t been served with butter like this for ages. We had the T-​bone steak. It was above average, but not Wowwww!
