The day we ordered a 24oz steak: dining at Peter’s Fine Dining



Peter's Fine Dining at Markham
Hubby said he chose to take me to this fancy steakhouse because of the fantastic reviews. And he was not mistaken. From the mouth-watering steak to the uber-attentive staff, Peter’s made it a delightful dining experience. They also had an extensive wine list and a good variety of steak cuts and seafood.

Hubby and I ordered Caesar salad to start, served tableside, as one would expect in a fine dining place. Our server was so amiable. It was like watching the Food Network as he gave me the instructions on how to make fresh Caesar dressing at home.  It was not as wonderful as the one at The School but appetizing nonetheless.

We decided to split a 24oz Porterhouse steak as it seemed the better value vs getting an 8-ouncer each. And boy, did we overestimate our capacity. Maybe 10 years ago, a 12-ouncer would not have been so huge (am I dating myself?). But when our big, honking chunk of meat arrived, I was all too glad we did not order extra sides of baked potatoes and veggies as well. How the heck were we going to finish this?! Well, of course, we managed because it was just delicious!

 Every so often, one of the well-dressed servers would check on us to see if we were enjoying our meal and our Merlot. They were attentive without being overbearing. The fine food and superior service made for a wonderful evening. Will not hesitate to recommend this place-- and share some of the tea and antacid that I bought to help us digest when we got home!
