Paradise Farms Steakhouse - North York

I have visited this restaurant multiple times and have consistently enjoyed the reliable food and pleasant atmosphere. The meat, in particular, is quite good.

The restaurant has comfortable seating and the food is okay, but it's too expensive for what you get. The service could use some improvement.

The food was excellent with no complaints. The female server was very attentive and friendly.

We have been skeptical about real estate developer owning restaurant (LOL)! The review on TA are also mixed - hence we have delayed our visit for some time. We finally made our small visit for lunch today, and were not disappointed.For lunch we have ordered one Caesar's salad with 6 ozs of flat iron steak, one Rueben (corned beef) sandwich with fries, one prime-rid roast beef sandwich, plus a glass of Riesling. The total with 15% tips come close to $100, hence we considered it on the high side for lunch.However, for 3 reasons we considered the price justified: (1) The quality of food - the corned beef reminded us of those we had in Montreal; the roast beef was juicy with adequate fat: Both the house salad and the Caesar's salad were very fresh; Fries were good and crispy (2) Very friendly service - we server Alex has definitely made a difference. He took the time to explain the chef's background and passion; that the steak were from Caledon Ontario; and that everything on the menu were prepared in house. It made us feel we were not just another table (3) The ambiance - we liked the crisp clean decor and the brightness from the floor-to-ceiling glass. There are also ample patio seating outside.For improvement? (1) the flat iron steak seemed a bit chewy, although flavorful (2) Parking seemed limited - we wonder how it would be like in the evenings.Regardless - we will definitely go back for dinner, just to have a complete assessment.

Service was very good, however food falls short on taste especially considering pricing. Quality of meat was so so and too much seasoning(salt!). Puree on the side was quite poor.Overall-I will not order steak there again, Keg is a better choice. I purchased raw steaks at butcher counter at Paradise few times-they were excellent. So another option is to cook at home.
