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 travels, East Coast roots, and appreciation for architecture, the menu nods to the classic steakhouse tradition while highlighting seasonal ingredients.

From the OpenTable editors: “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.

    Overall a wonderful experience - however, I found the dishes a bit over priced for what they were. I've enjoyed delicious meals all around our fair city, and internationally, and the prices seemed a bit steep for the value of food I was getting.

    The food is good but the overall experience wasn’t great. The service was professional but cold. Our server seemed very disinterested with us even when I tried to engage in friendly conversation. Our main course seemed delayed and wasn’t as warm as it should have been. The prime rib and chocolate cake were really good but $515 for 2 people after a 15% gratuity seems very expensive considering that we didn’t have alcohol.

    We could not have had a better experience dining here! The food was outstanding, and the service from the entire staff far exceeded our expectations, with a special thank you to Sarah, who made us feel so incredibly welcome and truly created a once in a lifetime experience for us. As we are from Calgary, this place will definitely be at the top of our list for the next time we visit here!

    My experience at Prime left me wanting more. The hospitality that we were shown was over the top. The team at Prime are a well oiled machine. I was blown away by our server Daniel. He was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. The food was spectacular. Special shout out to the lobster spaghetti! We had a last minute addition to our reservation and Prime was able to accommodate our party from 8 people to 9 by moving us into the private dining room, "The Cottage". This room was really neat. We were able to observe some of the food prep and behind the scenes camaraderie in the kitchen. Matty Matheson has created an absolute masterpiece at Prime. Thank you for hosting us.

    Beautiful restaurant, when you walk in your met with nice open modern look, the menu is small and to the point but can definitely get a little pricey. What stood out for me was the service, the staff here are all incredibly warm and attentive and frankly that made the experience here that much better.

    Felt upsold all night by the server saying our caviar was on the way when we didn’t order any, bringing the lobster pasta when we ordered a different pasta half of the price (it was left it on the bill and they asked “do you still want the other one?”) and telling us we needed another dish (it was greens, a super small portion and very meh).

    Had the time of our lives at PSP! Sat at the bar and Santana was not only helpful and accommodating, but so fun! Our server, Kevin led us through a “trust me” menu where he curated four courses for us. Every dish exceeded our expectations. We loved the prime rib special, 27 layer potatoes, lobster spaghetti and maple tart, but everything was delicious. While we didn’t order wine, we also really enjoyed chatting with head sommelier, Ian. The vibe and ambiance are perfect, especially given the smaller size of the restaurant. A must eat in Toronto!

    Seafood Palace, the latest venture from culinary maestro Matty Matheson, is a stunning restaurant that effortlessly blends contemporary design with warm, inviting ambiance. The seafood and steak-focused menu, designed for sharing, is a delightful culinary journey. The lobster spaghetti is a standout dish, its creamy sauce infused with subtle nutty and citrus notes. A must-try for lobster lovers. The gem salad, brightened by a zesty green olive dressing, is a refreshing palate cleanser. The filet mignon, cooked to perfection with a flavorful black pepper sauce, and the tender, juicy bone-in strip loin are both impressive. However, a minor oversight was the absence of a temperature inquiry for the steak, which fortunately turned out to our liking. The palace potatoes, crispy and flaky, are elevated by a delightful chili aioli. While the dessert offerings weren't the highlight of the meal, with the rich chocolate cake and quickly melting sorbet, the overall dining experience at Seafood Palace is undeniably positive. The attentive service, though not flawless, could benefit from a touch more proactive assistance, such as offering to divide the steak among the four diners. The clean, stylish bathrooms are a pleasant surprise, though a minor design flaw with the water spout could be addressed. Despite these minor hiccups, Seafood Palace offers a delicious culinary experience in a beautiful setting.
