Every detail was perfect. The table-side Caesar salad was the best I’ve ever had. I highly suggest ordering that! The Wagyu Filet Tasting was perfect and delicious. Apple pie was so good. They did a little something nice for my husband’s birthday. It was thoughtful and so appreciated. Anytime I visit Toronto I will definitely be back at BlueBlood. The inside is beautiful and even the outside has seating and looks phenomenal.

The servers and the entire staff were absolutely wonderful and incredibly kind. The food came out surprisingly fast, and both the appetizers and the main dishes were exceptionally fresh and delicious. I went there to celebrate my birthday alone, and they were more than happy to take photos for me and even gave me a handwritten birthday card. I was truly touched by their outstanding service. This was my very first birthday in Toronto, and thank you so much for creating such a wonderful memory for me. Thanks to everyone, I had a deeply meaningful birthday!! P.S. You absolutely must try the cake!!

We went to Contrada dinner tonight with a party size of 4. All of us come up with the same conclusion with one word "Tremendous ". This word includes food, service and pricing. We don't know there is happy hour on Tuesday to Thursday from 5:30pm- 7:30pm. For $5, you get bread, or Spanish makeral toast, or Crispy potatoes, or lamb ribs and so on. We also ordered whole seabass, steak and duck agnolotti. Everything is very good, and there is no complaints at all. For the bill of $230 for 4 people, I feel like we spent at least $400 for the quality of food. A must go spot for dinner especially for dating and friends gathering.

Great bar area to congregate before dinner, and a very engaging space for dinner. Food was terrific and service was top notch (and fun too). Music in bar was a little loud at times. Can’t wait till next time!
