Good food & excellent service.

Looked Quinn's up online and thought they had good reviews so my husband and I and our two young grandsons (9 and 14) decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. My prime rib and the boy's filet's were cooked just right and very tender, and my husband's lobster tail was very good. Our server, Christy was pleasant and very attentive to our requests. We'll definitely visit Quinn's... more

I went to Quinn's for lunch with a friend today. I had Baby Greens, and Prime Rib sandwich. My friend had Alberta Wagyu Bavette 8oz. The Baby Greens was very good. I asked for medium rare Prime Rib sandwich, but the prime rib was more like medium. My friend likes the Wagyu Bavette very much. It is the first time my friend dines at Quinn's and she's quite impressed with the restaurant.

Summerlicious 2014

Got together with a group of friends to catch up and enjoyed the Summerlicious menu.

Delicious food

The food was very delicious and the people who work ther were all so very nice. we really enjoyed the evening and will go again. I've already told other people how good the food and ambience was.

Potential!

Have been to Quinn's twice before. The first time my meal was outstanding. The second time my dessert and appetizer were outstanding and my main less than stellar. This time, I thought I'd give it another chance, maybe they'd pulled it together for summerlicious, maybe not.
Service at the beginning of the meal was outstanding, my appetizer (corn chowder) was interesting, my steak was meh, my... more

food

Food was amazing but the portions were too big for me. I didn't have any space for dessert. But overall experience was great. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Good value and great service

We visited Quinn's on a Sunday for dinner to take advantage of the Summerlicious menu. The restaurant wasn't busy. There was great choice for meat eaters and the quality of the food was excellent. Brianna, our server, was warm and welcoming and looked after all our needs. We'd all go back. Would be good for office lunch venue.

Bone marrow a nice first surprise

I was surprised to see bone marrow as an optional side on the lunch menu. The mushroom salad starter and flat iron steak rounded out a really good meal. Don't be turned off because it is in the basement of a hotel!

great food!

One of the best steakhouses in downtown toronto. Love the wine selection. Nice place to bring a visiting friend for lunch or dinner.

Our summerlicious lunch was delicious - very good - dessert bigger than last year which was a plus - watermelon/tomato soup fantastic...service very poor

Decent food, terrible service

Food was of a decent quality. Presentation lacked care and made the food experience less enhanced if anything. The server, Chris, was quite terrible with service. Never refilled our water glass once throughout the whole meal. Main course was brought out before I could finish my appetizer, and he seems careless and clumsy. Did not appreciate him reaching across the table above my dish while I... more

Attended for Summerlicious menu. The portions were just ok.Some restaurants have a different size of a meal for non-summerlicious food. Salmon could have come with a carb as well as the bok choy.The plate looked half empty. The steak was well plated with colourful veggies. Wine and bourbon were nice. Had to ask to fill up water a couple of times but the manager did come over to check up on us.... more

Steak!

Went for Summerlicious and had a couple if amazing bacon wrapped tenderloin! Outstanding!

Fast service - too fast

Enjoyed the Summerlicious menu. The service was very fast - too fast. While our server certainly gave us time to decide on cocktails (the bar menu is impressive) once we did we also ordered our meals. Apps arrived before the cocktails! (Really!?) The salad was underwhelming, but the Quebec Blue Cheese was a nice addition to it. My wife thought the corn & pepper chowder was excellent. Mains... more

Summerlicious Day 1

I chose Quinn's for a work group birthday lunch celebration because they were the only ones in the area of my office that offered a steak on their Summerlicious lunch menu. Nothing about the appetizer, entrée, or dessert was disappointing and our waiter was very accommodating since we were on a tight schedule to get back to work. I actually want to go have their steak lunch again before the end... more

Prime rib and ribeye were excellent

Have read some not so positive reviews. But our waitress was excellent. The prime rib was thick and tender. Ribeye prepared as ordered. Lots of vegetables. We had an excellent time. Very good value for mid-end steakhouse.

Poor Service

Made a reservation (hostess said mine was the only that evening) for dinner. Showed up 10 minutes early and had to wait 40 minutes for a table. Overall poor service and poor quality food.

So wonderful.

A group of friends and myself ate at Quinn's for my 24th birthday dinner. We initially decided to go to Quinn's based on their Scotch/Whiskey selection, but were more than happy with the dinner menu and dessert. The food was amazing, our server was kind and very knowledgeable. I would recommend anyone dine here.

steakhouse dinner

A tad bit pricey for the food served (2 ppl for $60+tax+tips), but the portions were filling to one's appetite, and delicious for a steakhouse restaurant. I had the lamb shank, and the meat was just soft and tender that melted in my mouth. The other Striploin dish ordered was a bit overcooked for a medium rare, but was satisfying. Could taste its spice which enhanced the steak flavour. The... more

Met our Needs superbly

We had a timeline and a need to have a level of noise siutable to catch up. Both were accommodated to a tee. Food and service were supportive to make the evening a success.

Enjoyable Meal

The food here was good just not anything special. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. The steak was cooked perfect and seasoned just right.

We enjoyed the entire experience. The steaks and my prime rib were excellent and the Martinis and the Malbec were great!

Great Food and Service

I'd been to Quinn's before and also when it was Le Biftheque. We shared a fried seafood platter which was excellent while I had the Ribeye Steak and my friend had the Salmon. Both entrees were terrific and so was the service. We went on a Tuesday evening and Quinn's had live music which was a bit loud for our liking but all in all a great experience.

Things to add on

Great place.
I would have bigger lobster tails & better quality steaks. I have yet to find a steak as great as Omaha Steaks which I had Fedexed directly to my home in the Midwest. They arrived in dry ice vacuum packed.
The atmosphere is effect for all occasions, which is unusual for a dining establishment. Most just have one or two atmospheric themes.
Quinn's allows one to have that beer with... more

Great food & great service! I've been to Quinn's numerous times, both in the bar area as well as the steakhouse. I've always experienced warm, wonderful hospitality, friendly service and delicious food; all for a good price. I would definitely recommend Quinn's to anyone looking for a delicious meal with some Irish charm.

Excellent

Service and food was awesome as usual and they were very good with getting us out on time for the walk back to Roy Thomson Hall for our show.

Catered to our needs

They service was good and recognizing we had a show to go to, they moved things along to make sure we weren't rushed to get to the show but never pushed us to feel hurried. Great experience with good food.

Business Lunch Appropriate

Downtown Toronto restaurants are noisy and busy. You'll find Quinn's remarkably quite good for the mouse level and somewhat private. Tables are spaced apart. Ok service. Smallish menu but it's all very good.

Birthday dinner

Must say, it was a quite the find. Due to the construction outside, my group was skeptical of the establish quality. However, I'm very glad that we did not judge a "book by its cover". The steak and lobster was absolutely fantastic. Great, friendly service.

Reliable excellence

Recently had occasion to meet for dinner with an out-of-town friend and a local co-worker. Recommended Quinn's based on previous occasions. Evening was an enormous success! Steak, lambchops, salmon all cooked exactly as requested, nicely sauced and presented. Cheesecake for dessert was an outstanding hit.
Service was excellent.
Ambience very pleasant.
Washrooms clean, roomy, pleasant.

Staff makes the difference

Not sure if you will find as many staff that understand their clientele as Quinn's but had a business lunch recently and the server knew when and when not to come to the table...allowed a business conversation and lunch to happen without the annoyances...most downtown establishments are all about getting you out for the next reservation. Good job.

Delicious prime rib sandwich

Quinn's is my first choice when I am craving for a prime rib sandwich. The sandwich is decent size and it is made exactly how I like it at medium rare. The ambience is nice and quietl, so it is perfect for any business meetings. The server is very polite.

It was almost a 5 rating

I had the pleasure of being invited by my wife to try Quinn's as she works close by and has frequented a number of times, but for lunch mostly. I was confused by it being an Irish Bar and Steakhouse, but I understood completely once I got seated and saw the place and menu.
We arrived fairly early for dinner... more

Great for Pre-Symphony dinner

Located close to the concert hall, we frequently go to Quinn's-- very good selection of wines and reliable tasty fare. Service is always excellent and the waiters always ensure that we are able to get to the concert on time

Good quality steaks

Quinn's steakhouse is a well-located restaurant offering fine steaks in pleasant surroundings. Both the bar and restaurant areas are inviting, and the service is good. The steak frites are excellent, although possibly the medium-rare could be a little rarer. There is also an exceptionally smooth cabernet sauvignon available by the glass towards the lower end of the wine price scale,... more

A nice steakhouse

A very typical nice steakhouse with a relaxed vibe and decent food.

Great Food!!! Friendly Service

Had a GREAT dinning experience @ Quinn's Steak House. We started with a drink or 2 @ the bar, the bar staff was great and we went on to a GREAT meal @ Quinn's. The steaks are of superior quality and the service was superb. I always liked the Sheraton because of its location in downtown, makes walking around easy... more

Our Friday lunchtime hangout. Good service. Great food. Extensive whiskey and scotch list.

Not a nice welcome AT ALL

Just called the restaurant in order to make a reservation for 12 people - some of them my co-workers. And guess what. They can not have separate bills for a table of more than 8 people. I told them to make it 2 tables of 6. But then she answered : we can't have those tables together. What kind of... more

A nice cozy apot for a lovely dinner out

Whether it's the ambiance, the exquisite food, awesome service or the endless variety of fine scotches , Quinn's is a wonderful place to go for a nice cozy romantic dinner with that someone special. Located in the Sheraton center, access is no muss , no fuss whether you decide to take transit or drive in. Overall just a great spot... more

I enjoyed the meal

I was in town on business and decided to try this restaurant after looking at all of the reviews.
This restaurant is in the Sheraton on Richmond street. I had a very pleasant dining experience here. The meal that I requested did not come out as expected and the manager kindly replaced it with another. The staff was very friendly... more

Good meal

Came here twice in a weekend, and both times I was extremely impressed with the service, food and decorum.
Although there is an outside entrance off of Richmond, there is also a direct entrance from the Sheraton Hotel and PATH.
Ordered the salmon one over a bed of rice with grilled vegetables and the prime rib with roasted potatoes and... more

Steak Frites was the best steak I've ever had! Service was fast and the staff were friendly! I would definitely recommend this restaurant... Especially if your staying at the Sheraton Hotel!

Great Dinner At Quinn's

We went to Quinn's for Valentines day this year -we wanted to have a nice meal in a relaxed environment with good food. We were not disappointed with our choice - Quinn's lived up to our expectations.
We had dinner reservations for 5:30pm but arrived early around 5:00pm - this was not a problem, after they sat the 5pm reservations... more

Our Wedding

Last week we went to Toronto to celebrate our wedding. We picked Quinn's to host us for the civil ceremony and to provide our dinner. We have absolutely no complaints or regrets.
For a decent price Mike (The manager) provided us with an A La Carte dinner. Mike's attentiveness to our needs through the full planning stages was second to... more

Not as good as the Shopsy's we remembered

Based on previous visits to Shopsy's, we had high hopes for our visit here, but found the food average, and quite expensive. On the upside, they serve an excellent pint of Guinness!

Absolutely Perfect.. mouth watering

Had the steak with ongions and mushrooms.. i can confidently say this was the best steak ive ever ate at a resteraunt. Service was excellent and atmosphere was great. I reccomend making a reservation. This resteraunt is worth the visit.. i will be returning.

supper at Quinn's

The Salmon was cooked perfectly; the bar was hopping and the serving staff worked like machines giving expedient but very friendly service.

We had mussels as starter and the 20oz rib eye. Great options to share for a more than satisfying dinner! Really good food and service. Well recommended.

Never Had So Much Fun

Quinns is the best venue in Toronto for a right old knees up! Great food, great beer, great fun. When I went they had an outstanding band on, playing just the right mix of cool tunes. And boy did those guys have some characters in the line up! Outstanding!

Great steak

This is a wonderful steakhouse in a city of great steakhouses. The peppercorn sauce could have been stronger but the meat was perfect and the sides were fantastic. The lobster was also very good and desserts, if you have room for them, are also first rate. Excellent wine selection. If you're downtown this is definitely worth the visit.

Great Steaks

We (five big hungry guys) had a fabulous experience at Quinn’s. Upon arrival we started off with some drinks in the bar area. It was busy, but not too busy where people are falling all over each other. It was a good social atmosphere.
A charming young hostess seated us in the dining room and introduced us to our server.... more

Absolutely excellent every time

One of my favorite places for steak! Every single time the steak was amazing! And so is the service!
Alberta Prime Steak is definitely my order every time. I ordered duck liver palate last time, just trying, but it turned out so good, I ate most of the dried bread with the palate...the sauce to go with the duck palate... more

Great Guinness and food too

This was a nice find being connected to the Sheraton Center. They had great Guinness and my dinner was also excellent.

Nice Steakhouse

I ate here one night with a group of friends. We chose the restaurant because it was right near our hotel.
The restaurant is a bit pricey and has a somewhat limited menu. However, the food was really delicious and the service was excellent. They also had a large winelist.

Great Steakhouse

This is a great Irish pub in the middle of Toronto. Good Beer on tap. Many drafts to choose from including Guinness, Harp and Kilkenny. Great Hamburgers and steaks. Prices are reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Terrific place with relaxing atmosphere and service

Read reviews by previous patrons and decided to try it. Super relaxing surrounding and super service. Our service was Jill and she couldn't do enough to make sure we had a great evening. Had the Canadian version of kobe it was good but wish I order the Prime ribe roast instead. It give me a great reason to return very... more

cozy atmosphere, good food and great service

The cozy (very nice) pub type of restaurant and we noticed they have an active after work bar area, Met up with a friend for an everning out after work and we work both vwere ery happy with our dinner out. The waitress was very pleasant and the food was very good. I had the lamb shank and it was... more

Great find on ground floor of sheraton

Great wee bar/restaurant, ate here twice from the bar menu, the food was delicious. Had breakfast once and it was equally as good

So dark you can hardly read the menu

The bar was buzzing when we arrived, mainly occupied with loud chatting business men.
The girl said there was a 20 minute wait for a table. She said take a seat in the bar. As there were no seats and we didn't fancy standing in the crowded bar so we asked if she would call our room in the Sheraton,... more

Very Nice

Met up with a friend here to catch up. We had the Groupon or we would have never known about this place (it's inside a hotel, kinda.) Service was great, drinks were great, so was the food. Mussels, smoked salmon on soda bread, creme brulee and filet were all delish. Mashed potatoes were boring compared to the filet it came... more

Good food

The steak was everything I had been told it would be. Excellent. Pricey but very goooood steak. Nice place, friendly staff.

worth a visit

Went here on first night as it was part of our hotel, and had a lovely meal with nice wine. Friendly staff and manager, although very quiet inside but seemd to get busier later on.

Quinn's Steakhouse and Irish Bar (at the Sheraton Centre

We had a Groupon voucher for this restaurant and since we had tickets for the theatre decided to try Quinn's for supper. The surroundings are pub-like and pleasant, and the food is very, very good! We started out with their smoked salmón on Irish soda bread that was delicious. This was accompanied with a house red that was rich and... more

Great steak, great wine

I had a wonderful meal here. The waitress recommended the filet and it was great. She also made an excellent wine choice. Their wine menu is more extensive than the B & B. it has that Irish pub feeling and a bar area outside of the eating area.

Great service and food, but limited for vegetarians

The service was excellent and the food was very good. I am vegetarian and had an incredible pasta dish, but I wouldn't be able to eat there often because of the limited choices for those are vegetarian.

Snotty uncaring bar maid

We arrived for a nightcap. The place was nearly empty. Barmaid did not look up or acknowledge us in any way Waited 15 minutes seated at the bar. Then we got up and left. No one said anything to us. Don't bother going. Plenty of other places to go

Summerlicious let down

I guess we should have researched to find out this place is inside the Sheraton hotel. The atmosphere is more casual than the prices let on but the bar was friendly. Our waitress was the least friendly person in the service industry and did not crack a smile the entire evening (I made attempts) . The issue we had was... more

Delicious steaks

My wife and I went here for dinner and thought it was absolutely delicious. We each had steaks, both of which were excellent, and we also split a soup that we enjoyed.
It's a steakhouse in the Sheraton downtown, so of course it's pricey, but the food is of excellent quality. (Admittedly, we went with a Groupon, and with that... more

Not very Irish but food very Good

We were staying at the Sheraton and visited Quinn's one night 5thJuly. The atmosphere was good and the service prompt and efficient. The food is a bit pricey but it was all presented very well and the portions were good. Apart from the A la Carte menu we were offered a fixed price menu 3 courses for $35 which appeared... more

good service, nice atmosphere

nice place to try for a meal. we had burgers and fries and it was worth the money, our waitress was really helpful and earned a good tip.

Just Okay

I've been here a few times and also used groupon vouchers which technically give you a $25 credit which is used up with 2 drinks. The presentation of the food is nice, but honestly not so tasty. The atmosphere is rather drab, and the decor is dark and gloomy. One good thing was the server. She was fantastic. If I... more

Surprise

I was a little disappointed when a volunteer group I belong to chose this place for our year end social.I had been to this hotel restaurant before and it was at best mediocre.So my expectations were low.i was surprised by how good the meal and the service was.Starting with the salad the ingredients tasted fresh,the serving size was about average... more

Great service but mediocre food

The decor is clean and irish! :-) the staff were friendly and very attentive.
The food was average. The pouched eggs were dry and overcooked. The food was tasteless and they did not know what eggs Florentine was. :-(
But the great staff and great coffee salvaged the visit.
I recommend staying away from the eggs.

Lovely Steaks But Pricey

Sorry to be so negative I expected more for the price the steaks were good but don't know what all the fuss was about when it was recommended to me.

not as impressed as other reviewers

Went for lunch during Summerlicious but ordered from regular menu. The house red wine was lovely, the service fine but we were both disappointed with the 10 oz. Alberta triple star steak-it was very chewy to the point of being tough-couldn't finish it. Everything else was good.

Delicious Food

Went to Quinn's after a Blue Jays game in Toronto and used a Groupon Voucher. Food was excellent - I had the lamb which was fall of the bone. Had the cheese and meat platter for an appetizer which was also good. Atmosphere was dark but cozy and the service was excellent. Would definitely go back again.

Pleasantly impressed

We chose this restaurant mainly for convenience as it was co-located with our hotel but were pleasantly surprised by both the selection and quality of the food. Good soup, lovely and interesting fresh salad, excellent steak and prime rib, both nicely cooked to order, a substantial wine list, and all quite reasonably priced. The wait staff was pleasantly efficient and... more

great steaks

We stopped here on our first night in Toronto as it was very handy for the Sheraton. Great steaks, good beers, friendly staff

Good but very poor value

The sibling restaurant next door, Shopsy's Deli closed eariler than I realized, at 9 PM. Both share the same front desk, with Shopsy's to the right, Quinn's to the left. The hostess, who was very nice, shared this info with me, adding that they were now just serving from the "bar" menu at Quinns (it was a bit past 9... more

Fun place to party

Went to here for a few pints ahead of a Ireland VS Canada Rugby match at the BMO filed. Great pregame atmosphere. Very festive with an upbeat crowd. The food was very good and the beer was plenty and cold. Cold beer, good food and a rugby match... a perfect day. We went back after the match for a few... more

fair to middle

nice meal average portions nice friendly service but Toronto expensive prices.beer prices through the roof but equal to other establishments in toronto

Scotch in an Irish Bar

After a great night out on the town we retired to Quinn's. the waitress gave us the drinks list and we were gob smacked at the whisky list. On asking the bar manageress if she had them all? Of course!!!! I decided on an Islay night and I was well looked after by the manageress who produced every bottle I... more

I returned for my second visit to this cozy pub after discovering it on the way to George Thorogood concert in early June.
Me and the Mrs went out for a bite after watching a Blue Jays game.
I was very surprised and disappointed that at 11:10 pm on a Monday night the kitchen was closed.
nice atmosphere and great drink selection, but its hard to beleive that they werent serving food in busy... more

My family had a wonderful time at your restuarant Saturday night. It is rare when 12 people go out for dinner and every comment is a compliment about the food or the service.
Thank you for your part in making our celebration a memorable one.

Tasty steak

Located in the Sheraton hotel, this establishment combines an Irish pub on one side, and a restaurant on the other. Both are separated by a short distance. We visit the restaurant, and were not bothered by the pub.
The service was very good. Polite and prompt.
The food was excellent. We both ordered steak, and it was grilled to our... more

Dark, hidden, but great food

A rather dark, not well lit Irish pub & steakhouse in the Sheraton Centre but the food and service was excellent. They have the largest cocktail list I have ever seen. The food service was quite fast. We had a New York Steak which was charcoal grilled exactly the way we ordered it and it tasted heavenly (Ontario AAA dry... more

Always Excellent

I've eaten here many times when in Toronto. The steaks are terrific, one of the best and most reasonably-priced steak houses in the city. They work to make your order perfect. I also like the Bloody Caesars quite a bit. You need to enter through the deli, but don't be put off. Once you're in Quinn's restaurant, you're in old-world... more

A quiet spot in a busy place

This was my first visit to Quinn's, even though I've stayed at the Sheraton Centre many times. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of Irish cuisine, and the selection of food choices seemed very limited. Staff was friendly, and well informed about food options, but with this small a selection, that shouldn't be an issue. Don't know if... more

one of the poorest service I got in restaurant. also steaks were soso. would recommend this place for anyone

Hamburger Joint service at a steakhouse in unacceptable. If I am going in to a steakhouse. I expect good service.
Rude staff, long wait times. Had to call back 3 times and wait 20 minutes just to talke to someone for a reservation. And very rigid. If you are not big on service I am sure you will like it just fine.

"""Very nice atmosphere and excellent service! Their food is excellent, especially their steaks! Very high quality beef! Definitely to die for!"""

I have to compliment the manager Scott and his staff for taking care of us planning an event for $40. Scott was thorough, responsive, helpful and invited us for lunch to taste the fare before booking. Of the six restaurants in the FinDist that I called no one else offered this. Easy today with Scott. We wrapped up the details super quick then he served us two entrees split plus salads. Awesome... more

Food was awesome- service was perfect.

I went here last January... by accident.  I thought I'd finally yelp it since I found a matchbook from them in one of my many suitcases.Have you ever met a stranger and spontaneously decided to share a meal?That's how I ended up at Quinn's.  We were both staying at the Sheraton for business.  This joint came highly recommended (not from yelpers but from locals actually) .3 hours later: a fine... more

Been to a lot of steak house. This is not one of the best. If people think Keg is 5 stars then this will be like 2 stars.Most of the Kegs around downtown have good atmostphere. This one have none. The lay out is pretty lame. A new paint job will be nice :-)The price is your typical steak house. Steak will be around 20 - 40 bucks. The food is so so. I had lunch twice there just because I bought... more

Well, I happened into Quinn's quite by accident.  Interesting locale though. As you step up to be seated you can go to the right and go into Shopsys (which has moved here from Front Street) and going to the left you can go into Quinns.  We just stopped in for a quick lunch and the bar menu had great offerings.  We had the burger which was most flavourful, but again - for those that wanted to,... more

My wife and I arrived near closing on a Saturday night. We were welcomed in with courtesy and given an intimate booth. Delightful place. The service, food, drinks were all first rate. Despite ordering a NY strip but a few minutes before the official closing, our waitress, the kitchen, and bar all did a first rate job without complaint, and we had a leisurely and enjoyable meal. Definitely would... more

The steak itself was flavoursome, New York Striploin is that way.  It was also fatty, I suppose it's that way too, but not normaly quite that much.  It  wouldn't have been so bad except it was covered in crispy floured onions which were hugely fatty, the fries were some of the worst examples of Canadian home fries which are noirmally bad being  soggy, limp, blackened, potato shards with bits of... more

We loved stopping in here for a little Irish atmosphere on St.Paddy's day. Our server Brooke rocked !

After finding most restaurants telling us there would be a half hour wait for dinner on Friday night, my fiance and I wandered down to Queen Street and found this hidden gem for some serious eating and calm (romantic, even!) atmosphere. I wasn't planning on eating a steak, but Nick sure was. He said his was one of the best he's ever had. I got the chicken supreme which was doused in fresh... more

This place is unexpectedly "off the hook".First off, this place is a tad hard to find. It is in the Sheraton hotel, on the south east side of the building on the main level. If you see Traders in there just keep on walking east and you'll see it.This place is really unique because it is advertised as a Steakhouse and an Irish pub, and to top it all off, it serves Shopsy's menu food.When you... more
