a Vancouver name known for maximalist steakhouses. Founder Emad Yacoub&#8217;s long-held idea \u2014 great steak and great sushi under a single roof \u2014 anchors the menu, and the group chose one of the city&#8217;s most storied addresses to make the point.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_order\"><\/span>What to order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The beef leads: A5 Japanese Miyazaki wagyu, certified Kobe, and dry-aged cuts matured 28 to 45 days in an on-site salt locker. From the raw bar, the tiered seafood tower and fresh nigiri are the natural openers. For the table, the hand-tossed Caesar for two and a Beef Wellington carved tableside turn a meal into an event, with cr\u00eapes Suzette to finish.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Space\"><\/span>The Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Housed in the old Toronto Stock Exchange, the two-storey room keeps its banking-hall proportions \u2014 soaring ceilings, warm lighting, pale wood \u2014 then layers on drama: a ceiling gilded in 24-karat gold and a mural of two bulls composed entirely of steak knives. Downstairs, a wraparound bar doubles as the sushi station; upstairs, red velvet booths and a floor-to-ceiling wine room.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_its_for\"><\/span>Who it&#8217;s for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For milestone dinners, business entertaining and anyone who wants their steakhouse with real grandeur and a glass of something serious.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_and_answers\"><\/span>Questions and answers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Should I book ahead?<\/strong> Yes \u2014 it&#8217;s a destination room for celebrations and corporate dinners, so weekends and prime evening slots go fast; reserve in advance for the best tables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there options beyond steak?<\/strong> Yes \u2014 the raw bar and sushi menu run deep, from nigiri and sashimi to the seafood tower, alongside salads and sides for pescatarians and lighter appetites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the must-try dish?<\/strong> A dry-aged or Miyazaki wagyu steak is the headline; pair it with the tableside Caesar and a few pieces of nigiri for the full range.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it suited to private events and big tables?<\/strong> Very \u2014 with tableside carving, curated group menus and a glass wine room, it handles celebrations and business dinners with ease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can we sit outside?<\/strong> Yes \u2014 the enclosed, heated patio with a retractable roof means comfortable outdoor seating in any season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_hours\"><\/span>Opening hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Day<\/th>\n<th>Hours<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Monday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201300:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201300:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201300:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201300:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201300:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td>10:30\u201300:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<td>10:30\u201300:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"entity-gallery\" class=\"padrino-entity-gallery\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos\"><\/span>Photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/blackblue-toronto-toronto-1.jpg\" alt=\"Black+Blue Toronto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/07\/blackblue-toronto-toronto-2.png\" alt=\"Black+Blue Toronto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/blackblue-toronto-toronto-3.jpg\" alt=\"Black+Blue Toronto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/blackblue-toronto-toronto-4.jpg\" alt=\"Black+Blue Toronto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/07\/blackblue-toronto-toronto-5.png\" alt=\"Black+Blue Toronto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/blackblue-toronto-toronto-6.jpg\" alt=\"Black+Blue Toronto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<details>\n<summary>Show 3 more photos<\/summary>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/07\/blackblue-toronto-toronto-7.png\" alt=\"Black+Blue Toronto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/blackblue-toronto-toronto-8.jpg\" alt=\"Black+Blue Toronto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.torontonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2026\/06\/blackblue-toronto-toronto-9.jpg\" alt=\"Black+Blue Toronto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"comments\" class=\"comments-area wp-block-group\">\n<h2 class=\"comments-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visitor_reviews\"><\/span>Visitor reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"comment-list\">\n<li id=\"comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\">\n<b class=\"fn\"><span>Anne Odita<\/span><\/b>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\">\n4 June 2026<br \/>\n \u00b7 <span>\u2605 10.0\/10<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Amanda was a wonderful server!
