About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Great for fine wines
Prime Seafood Palace is a modern steakhouse on Toronto’s Queen Street West, born from the collaboration between Matty Matheson and Our House Hospitality Company, with Chef Coulson Armstrong (Top Chef Season 12 winner.) The menu draws on the traditions of the classic steakhouse while following the seasons, with beef, seafood, and vegetables sourced from a small roster of trusted purveyors. Shaped by Matheson’s East Coast roots, travels, and interest in architecture, the restaurant brings a distinctly personal perspective to the steakhouse tradition. Prime Seafood Palace has been recognized by the MICHELIN Guide and World’s 50 Best.

From the OpenTable editors: “Palace” is an apt description for celebrity chef Matty Matheson’s steak and seafood temple. With slatted maple panelling and brass accents, the interior gives off Scandi-style sleekness. The steakhouse-influenced menu is full of premium cuts with fancy flourishes, plus caviar service.

Executive chef: Coulson Armstrong

    We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary at Prime Seafood Palace, and the entire evening was exceptional. The food was exquisite, and the team made us feel so celebrated with thoughtful surprises, from phenomenal champagne to rounds of beautiful desserts. The chef himself surprised us with precious winter truffles, making the experience even more special. A handwritten anniversary card was the loveliest finishing touch. Beyond the extraordinary food, it was the warmth, generosity and attention to detail that made our evening unforgettable. Thank you to the chef and the entire team for spoiling us so beautifully!

    Everything was excellent. The technique and execution of every dish were flawless. Our favorites were the scallops Rockefeller and the bread with butters, both absolutely outstanding. The wine selection was excellent too, with great options to pair with the meal. Highly recommend!

    We had a lovely time at Prime Seafood Palace! While everything was delicious our favorite dish was the Polenta Bread and Butters! So delicious and the butter flight was something I have never experienced :) I love that they had a sweet and savory option for the butter and reminded me of Texas Roadhouse (in a good way). We also got the Palace Cut as our main and it was way more than enough for 2 people. The service was great and the staff were very kind and attentive.
