Hot Stove

We got my in-​laws a gift certificate and reservation for this restaurant and this was what my father-​in-​law had to say:
«If the Hot Stove Club offers a sophisticated steakhouse ambience then I am a monkey’s uncle. Packed in like sardines (barely a foot between tables) the din (from multiple TV’s and the rest of the ‘patrons’) was overwhelming. Mom and I ate our meal in silence as it was impossible to communicate across the couple of feet of space between us). If it is illegal to have people work amid such noise without proper ear protection how come it is okay to serve people food in such conditions?
When we looked up the dinner menu online we were puzzled to find that none of the choices had a price shown against them. When we perused the menu in the Club we quickly realized why… Folk would simply be frightened away if they could see the prices online.
The service was, to put it mildly, lousy. To spare your wallets, we skipped the appetizers and ordered an entrée apiece (Mom’s was salmon: mine Sea Bass). It took a while for the food to show up but when it did it was nicely presented and quite acceptable. However, after our plates were cleared we waited fully 20 minutes in anticipation of seeing a dessert menu. I suspect that because, unlike seemingly all the other tables, we hadn’t ordered any bottles of wine we were being given the cold shoulder from the serving staff. By now it was 6.15 p.m. and I was all for leaving but your Mom seemed insistent that she had to have dessert. When it finally arrived, accompanied by a single candle and ‘Happy 70^th Birthday’ writ upon the plate in sauce, I realized why… I hope the amount billed to your credit card didn’t include a tip because they certainly didn’t deserve one…»

If you like oysters they have buck a shuck before raptors games. The menu itself is a little limited but good.

Fantastic quality filet mignon, and the mushrooms that you can get as a side were awesome too. The wine we got was also great, but what’s really neat is the way the restaurant integrates with the hockey game: you can request beers to go, and place an order for desserts that will be waiting for you when you come back during one of the breaks!

Extremely friendly staff. Awesome customer service. Good food, big portion. Pricier than the Keg but cheaper than Jacobs steakhouse. I had the Lobster cobb salad, delmonico rib eye steak, mashed potatoes and onion rings. The onion ring portion is large to share between 3 to 4 people. Lobester cobb salad comes with blue cheese. I personally dont like it and find the taste a little too stronf foe the salad dressing. You can ask them not to include it if you are like me who doesnt like blue cheese. Note: this restaurant is exclusive unless you are VIP or season ticket holder you might not even get a table. If you have tickets for a game you can try to reserve a table for the game night.
