Black+Blue Toronto
Black+Blue Toronto is a King Street West steakhouse and lounge combining fine dining with a wine bar, sushi menu, and event space, built for both dinner service and larger private functions. It runs an annual limited-time 'Wagyu Buy Up' promotion for email subscribers, alongside its standard menu of dry-aged cuts, tomahawk, and Australian wagyu.
What people praise
- Servers and sommeliers repeatedly named and praised for guiding menu choices
- Tomahawk and Australian wagyu both singled out as standout dishes
- The restaurant addressed a hair-in-food incident promptly with an apology and replacement dish
- Atmosphere works for both special-occasion dinners and larger groups
Worth knowing
- A promotional pre-purchased menu caused confusion for at least one table who saw other diners eating dishes they'd been told were unavailable; the restaurant says the items were part of a sold-out subscriber-only promotion and has since acknowledged the communication gap
Our take: The largest review base on this list by a wide margin, and the rating holds up across all of it. That combination of scale and consistency is why it ranks first.
