   Celebrated our 1yr Anniversary here and glad we did! If anyone’s looking for steak that melts in your mouth, this is the place! The table side caesar was sooo good and the pork belly was an interesting touch to it. I also applaud this place on their mindfulness of allergies/food intolerances. They can accommodate those who have gluten sensitivity. Thank you guys so much! Definitely will be back.

   Horrible service and food. The staff are pushy and don’t even listen when you are talking to them. The portions sizes are a joke and the food is meh. I do not recommend this place.

   The meal, service and ambience were all high quality (although the subdued light level mase reading the menu challenging without an artificial light source.) Major beef: the ia very little in the way of accommadation for those with mobility challenges (like my 93-year-old mother who found navigating the steps doan to the level just below the main floor extremely challenging.

   The food was very good, the ambiance was nice. Everything was good except for one big thing- when I made the reservations, I had made a note that we were celebrating a birthday. But they made no mention of this and so it did not feel so special at all. When spending that much on a dinner, they should have gone the extra mile and brought a comped dessert and written happy birthday on it. We ended up ordering 2 ice creams and again, not even a comped one at all for a plain vanilla ice cream! So I would not go back for a special occasion because they did not do anything special to mark my husband’s birthday!

    Although I've lived in the neighbourhood for decades, it was my first visit to David Duncan House. I was not disappointed. Phenomenal atmosphere, incredible wait staff, and the food was very good. I will come back for another special occasion soon!

    The greeter was perfunctory to say the least. A b ad start to what was intended to be a special night. The initial table was next to a party of 14. The service was good but spotty. The portions are way too big and the prices are inflated. This was our first and likely our last visit.

    Everything was lovely, it was just way too dark inside. Tough to see what’s on your plate dependent on where you’re seated. Everything else was fantastic, just too dark for my liking!

    We were looking forward to this meal. The food was absolutely terrible. The king crab was tasteless with only three small pieces for $70. The prime rib was also cold tasteless and obviously left over from the day before and reheated. To top it off we were served what appeared to be McCain frozen fries. Leakey a restaurant we will never recommend and never visit again.

They even brought us a surprise dessert to celebrate our anniversary. We enjoyed a leisurely, delicious & piping hot dinner in a beautiful, historical setting.

    Presentation was great as were the servers. The seasoning was a little off with the garlic bread needing a little salt and the mains very salty. Fortunately the pinch of sea salt could be scraped off my wife's steak so she could enjoy it. The crème brûlée was the best my wife has ever tasted, creamier than normal, so it ended well.

    First time after 20+ years. We have heard that management was changed, we read some bad reviews, But decided to take good friends for a night out and give it a chance!- So happy we did! Service was outstanding! From the minute we walked in! Everyone was polite and friendly. Choices if goon on the menus were good, don’t skip the Caesar salad ! That was something! Waitress where all knowledgeable enough to answer all are questions, and we’re able to recommend the best done temperature for each steak we choose! Food was made to perfection! All 4 of us had a great time and will definitely come back for more! I give it 10/10!

    We were celebrating my partners 65th birthday and I wanted the experience to be very special. David Duncan House full-filled this experience and could not have done better. When you walk in the front door there is a fresh meat and seafood deli which displays products that are used on their menu and emits a aroma that will trigger your apatite. The dark stained oak through out the restaurant is beautiful and sets an ambiance that is relaxing, comfortable and give you a feeling that your someplace special. We started with a couple of cocktails and an order of the East Coast Oysters which were fresh and delicious, while we pondered what to have for our mains. I ordered Peter's Grilled Lamb Chops which were seasoned and cooked to perfection, the best I've ever had. My wife ordered the Alaskan King Crab which was fun to watch her eat and could tell she was really enjoying. For dessert we had the Bananas Foster which they flambee at your table and it was delicious. Our waiter, whom introduced himself as Jack, was exceptional, very friendly, personable, attentive and we kept each other entertained throughout the night. If you're looking for that exceptional place to celebrate a special occasion this is where you want to be. If we are ever back to the Toronto area are sure we will come here again. We will be sure to recommend to our friends who come to here to also reserve a table at the David Duncan House. Thank you all very much, it was well worth it!
