It’s a good spot for traditional steakhouse experience. Attentive servers, old-fashioned decor, delicious steak and cozy vibes. Highly recommended for a date night only thing the lighting might be a little bit too dark.

Last time I was in, we had a server with a goatee who was not interested in our table or our experience. Usually this place is spot on with service but he was super subpar. Younger guy maybe late 30s early 40s with glasses too. He would pop by the table and say “you good?” And fifteen minutes later “more drinks?” And two of our steaks were undercooked and he never came back to check on them. I had to stand up and ask another server. This place is awesome but someone needs to know this guy was not up to Barberians standards that night. It was November 8th

I recommend this historic and interesting steakhouse if budget is not a concern. They’ve kept everything old-fashioned — from the décor and ambiance to the booking system.
Although we had reservations, we still waited about 5 minutes to be seated. The wine list is extensive, while the food menu is classic and simple. The steak was excellent in quality, appetizers were tasty, and dessert was quite basic.
Overall, the food is very good, but the prices are extremely high for what you get. Usually, restaurants with old-world character and simple menus keep their pricing straightforward and sensible. This place, however, charges far too much for a rather basic experience.

Barberian's knows steak, and they have some interesting sides. But the quality and amount of food isn't reflected by their price. Their wine list, while extensive, is also marked up terribly.
While it's a good experience, it's not great value for the price.

Fantastic steak! Fairly quiet when we were there (lunch), but I can see it being very busy for dinner.

Very much enjoyed this dining experience.
We walked in without reservation, but they were able to get us a table. The staff were extremely respectful and nice, very good vibes! :)
The food was also delicious! I will definitely be back, and recommend to everyone!!!
Consistency is the truest measure of performance. Authentic, fabulous people, always enjoyable. A great escape.

Ordered a bone in 24 oz rib steak to share. Cooked perfectly but was essentially tasteless since there was no seasoning on the steak. I’ve experienced that before at steakhouses but varieties of salt always came with the steak. Hadn’t been to restaurant in over a year but don’t recall steak being so void of taste. A garlic bread was always served as part of the meal, along with a platter of dill pickles. No garlic bread unless ordered a la carte and a dill pickles served with a variety of other dill vegetables that were awful. With so many good steakhouse options in Toronto, I won’t be returning to Barberiens.

A dimly lit dungeon with below par service, atmosphere and food not fit for human consumption. The server did not introduce himself and made an offensive comment when I placed my order. Not only the fact that I had to ask for a wine list he also insinuated that I didn't know how much we were ordering. He gave me the feeling that he was more concerned about the amount of the bill than providing service, made me feel like I might not be able to afford it. My wife and I are regulars at many high end restaurants, Blue Bloods, Harbor 60, 360 Toronto. The steaks were cold, the heirloom tomato salad was warm and tasteless. Overall a very disappointing meal/experience. I don't recommend coming to the dungeon on Elm st.

Worst service, waiter was never around, food took forever to come to our table and we ended up being late for the Ed Mirvish show. Called to speak to a manager and it seemed like he didn’t give a shit. First and last time at this place. Back to Hy’s we go!!!!
