We held our corporate dinner at Hys Toronto’s private room. This was our first event at this venue. The overall experience was amazing. A special thank you to Trang who went above and beyond throughout the night to make our event successful. Thank you!

This by far is the best steakhouse in the city. Being from the states I visited multiple high end restaurants on this trip. If you want steak come here. The live band was

Their bar is awesome and luxurious. Their customer service was perfect since we were unhappy with one of the items and they made it free for us.

Over Priced for the service and food received. My wife and I planned for a nice quiet meal at Hy's last Sunday evening; we will give Hy's top marks for style and atmosphere, beautiful place. However the service was not good at all...service started out ok but quickly went down hill. We have both worked at restaurant and bars and always give servers a lot of leeway but at Hy's, to have to ask for ketchup, twice, have to ask for salt and pepper to be brought to the table is not good service. I ordered a drink, drink was finished, server came by twice, to re-fill water/bring appetizers and didn't inquire about my drink or ask if I wanted another. I took my drink glass and laid it right at the edge of the table, so the server would see the empty glass upon his return, and nope nothing as the server took our appetizer plates away, he actaully moved the empty drink galss to the side so he could get the dishes. Finally he came back and stated the mains would be out shortly, then I asked for another drink. If the restaurant was busy we would understand, but the restuarant was at most 25% full. Wife and I both ordered the 10oz striploin medium, her with fries me with baked potato and I asked specifically for no Sour Cream, not really a fan of it. The mains arrived, a runner brought the meals, and my potato was loaded with sour cream. I waited a bit, no server checking in, and proceed to eat the baked potato...again not the end of the world but I asked for no sour cream. My steak was excellent but my wife's steak was like it was from the Ponderosa, small and very thin. Server finally came, wife had then ask for ketchup for her fries, her fries were hot and wife was happy, and the server said, hows the baked potato without the sour cream, to which I stated it had sour cream and he said, "sorry, hoped you enjoyed anyhow". My wife commented to the server on how small and thin her steak was compared to mine....yes I gave wife half of my steak, my steak was much tastier, server said, "I'll let management know about the steak", which mean nothing and we all know it. Server disappearred and we had to grab a passing food runner to get ketchup...wife was not happy.We got dessert to go, paid the bill, and as we left we were so disappointed with Hy's on what we hoped would be a nice quiet enjoyable meal as we celebrated a milestone. Unfortuantely we will not be back anymore!

Truly amazing experience at Hy's. We randomly stopped in prior to the evening rush on Saturday and were met with amazing staff and probably the best steak my husband says he's ever had. I had the fish (as seen in the picture), and it was very fresh.Thank you, and we will be back again!

I’m so glad we ended up coming here. I got the STEAK AU POIVRE and omg has to be my top three best steaks I’ve had. The service was amazing specifically Mckenna our beautiful server and then the manager who’s name was Dylan was soo helpful and kind. They all definitely have amazing customer service. We will definitely be coming back. Thankyou so much Hy’s for a great night with great people and food☺️

I had the NY strip with baked potato, my guest had the filet with mushroom sauce and we ordered the carrots and the asparagus, finished with the cheese cake and crème Brulé. She had the Italian house red, I had a setting sun cocktail. The drinks were probably the highlight of the meal. That and the pecan carrots otherwise it was incredibly average and comparable to the keg which is 20-30% cheaper. The baked potato was outright dry and bland.I think you are paying for atmosphere and location because even our server was jumpy, opinionated and often interrupted us with condescending remarks about our choices. The food is by no means bad, just not what you expect at that price point. Go if you can’t cook a steak

Loved Hy’s. First time I had been. Food was great. Steak au Poivre was excellent, big chunks of pepper, well cooked, beautiful mashed potatoes.Had a lovely Spanish wine selected by the Sommelier, Lisa.Can’t say enough good things about the experience. Perfect for a date or before/after an event.

Hy’s might be Canada’s best kept secret! Those who know, know. Forget your Peter Lugers, Keens, and Harbour 60… HY is the real king of the chop and it’s not even close! Hands down a Top 10 dinning experience in Canada.

Dinner for 2 with tax & tip $350.This was certainly a roller coaster of an experience. With reservations for dinner for two made earlier, we are greeted with: "Someone has already booked in with your name and your table was given away."Now my name is certainly not as common as say "John Smith" and was told it was probably a mistake. Yeah, no kidding.Front of House messed up.We are then seated at a table right by the Server's area which provides water and such. Nope, too noisy. I request another table.We are offered a table by the window facing Richmond. Great and we walk over but are then seated on the far end of the bench seat by the kitchen?!?At this point I give up and contend with a full view of the kitchen, plates and all. I am not impressed as my sister and I are not teenagers and well dressed...especially looking around at what people are wearing for a night out.Drinks, garlic toast, fresh oysters and a made table side Ceasar salad are ordered to start us off. All beautifully made and served.A filet with mashed potatoes and a Beef Wellington with mashed potatoes are the main course and do not disappoint.Both medium rare as requested.Our table side Presenter returns to make Bananas Foster for dessert and as with the salad, his skills are obvious.The noise rates at a medium plus and for us, the ground floor is out of the question for our next visit. But luckily I've already scoped "the" table to request on the second floor.The last kick in the teeth was seeing a barely 20 something couple walk in for a 7:30 PM dinner wearing track pants and tops. You're not at the gym. Lack of upbringing, no self respect, a blase attitude...pick one. The smartly dressed Doorman put them to shame.

Nothing new here I found it to be very similar to other steakhouses in terms of options and flavor, but at double the price almost.
