Review from Poncy C.

I was invited to Quinn's for my birthday dinner because my friend had a coupon. I was apprehensive not only because of the coupon but because it was part of Shopsy's Deli. While not the greatest steakhouse it was surprisingly good. The food was flavorful and the service good (although the servers we a little too friendly; I like my servers a little detached). The wine list was limited but good.
Great value, even without a coupon. -

It is okay. Not jaw dropping! Fairly standard. Came here with a girlfriend for Winterlicious. Had a Prime Rib. Dessert is tasty. Our server was very good.
Nice red wine but $11.00 a glass.
Would I come back? Maybe.
But Sheraton Hotel is a great hotel! I love it! -

My girlfriend and I came here at almost 8pm on Sunday. The restaurant was not busy but we still had to wait 25 minutes for our food. Filet Mignon is tough and dry. Prime rib is ok. Overall, not impressed. Will not return.

We just came here for St. Pat's and had a good time. We didn't eat, but the beers were good and this was a fun crowd...but I don't know how it would be if it wasn't an Irish party in an Irish pub.

Quinn's is two separate places, first an Irish pub and second a quiet quaint steakhouse. I've walked past the Sherarton many times and never knew it was there. The ambiance inside is very nice. Staff are attentive. They have a lovely wine list and terrific food. We had the lamb and the ribs both were good. The price is quite reasonable for what you get. I definitely would go back!

For a steakhouse the steak was not too good. Ordered the 14 oz New York steak medium rare. Presentation was not great and the steak was a little too cooked. But the worst part was the steak was kind of cold and was not juicy. We also had the Fried Seafood as appetizer which was tasty.
The ambiance was nice, server was nice but wasn't around as frequent as I would like. -

Without doubt the best Scottish and Irish whiskey and scotch list in Toronto. I am blown away by the mesmerizing selection. I estimate the list at well over 200 choices. My god I am in heaven.

The buzz here is amazing
The vibe rocks- balanced and royal -
Review from Tamarah S.

This place...was just okay. I would definitely go back for the appetizers (the sweet potato fries are AMAZING) and the extensive cocktail menu (I can't even count how many were in the bar menu, well over 30), but I doubt I'll ever go back here for a steak. I was here on Valentine's Day, I'd been wanting to go for awhile. It's great for talking, the ambience is very nice, I had a good experience, but the food wasn't really anything memorable. Me and my boyfriend each had a steak with the baked potato as a side. They were just okay. Maybe it's because we're used to having our steak with chipotle sauce (Canyon Creek) or pecan and goat cheese-crusted (The Keg), but we found these steaks a bit bland. I also found the potato to be quite dry, all the cheese was on top and the actual potato was pretty plain. Our cocktails were very yummy, I would go back for more. Service was good, it wasn't overly busy. I would definitely consider going back here for the pub food, I have a feeling it would be way better than the steaks, just from the sweet potato fries I had, they were amazing. Also, if you're into scotch, they have a very extensive list. I'm not really a scotch person though. To summarize: I wouldn't go back here for a steak, but I would definitely have drinks and pub food here!

I went here last January... by accident. I thought I'd finally yelp it since I found a matchbook from them in one of my many suitcases.
Have you ever met a stranger and spontaneously decided to share a meal?
That's how I ended up at Quinn's. We were both staying at the Sheraton for business. This joint came highly recommended (not from yelpers but from locals actually) .
3 hours later: a fine non-rushed meal, tasty local wine (excellent selection), pleasant conversation, a split check and email exchange.
I do recall the service was exceptional, my fish was buttery and done perfect, the vegetable and starch sides were sufficient, the wine pairing was smart and the ambiance was peaceful after a long work week. If you are looking for a scene, go to Keg down the block. I wasn't a fan of keg, lest you like hanging around 20 year olds that have really piercing "hi's" and "oH my GoD's!" to their friends who obviously couldn't hold their liquor.
I'd recommend it if you're staying at the Sheraton or close by and want a sophisticated option. Worth the price. -

Well, I happened into Quinn's quite by accident. Interesting locale though. As you step up to be seated you can go to the right and go into Shopsys (which has moved here from Front Street) and going to the left you can go into Quinns.
We just stopped in for a quick lunch and the bar menu had great offerings. We had the burger which was most flavourful, but again - for those that wanted to, you could also pick some items that were from the Shopsy's menu.
Interesting concept, and guaranteed to be quite a hit!
We ended up here as we were having a late lunch (past 2pm), we went to Bistro on Two which is closed... and happily enjoyed Quinns.
It's good to see a spot in this neck of the woods, that's open, serves good food and great variety. Frankly I was never that thrilled with the Bistro upstairs or Traders off the lobby (at least for food).
The Sheraton really needed something like this! -
Review from Sunny V.

Been to a lot of steak house. This is not one of the best. If people think Keg is 5 stars then this will be like 2 stars.
Most of the Kegs around downtown have good atmostphere. This one have none. The lay out is pretty lame. A new paint job will be nice :-)
The price is your typical steak house. Steak will be around 20 - 40 bucks.
The food is so so. I had lunch twice there just because I bought the group coupon certificate. $60.00 for $25.00. Since I am a NICE GUY I took couple of friend there for lunch. Two of us had Steak Sandwich and the other choose fish and chip (Lunch Special). Order another side and the bill came up to 80 bucks with tips and taxes. LOL
If you are looking for cheap lunch this is not a place to go. I prefer street meat since I eat out every lunch and I can't afford 80 bucks lunch everyday. :-)
Bottom line. The place is good if you can get discount. For the price they are charging I am sure there are alot of places where you can stretch your dollar further.
'Yes, Stop the gravy train" :-)

This place is unexpectedly "off the hook".
First off, this place is a tad hard to find. It is in the Sheraton hotel, on the south east side of the building on the main level. If you see Traders in there just keep on walking east and you'll see it.
This place is really unique because it is advertised as a Steakhouse and an Irish pub, and to top it all off, it serves Shopsy's menu food.
When you walk into the place, on the left is the bar area, if you walk straight there is the dining room for Quinn's, and if you walk to the right there is a dining room for Shopsy's. I could be wrong about all this as I didn't soak the whole atmosphere in (as I was in the bar). They have about 10 taps of beer or so, regular stuff for an Irish pub, but they have Guiness that needs to be pumped from the keg (1st time I've seen this).
On to the food....amazing! My wife had the steak sandwich she said was the best she's ever had, and I went with the more old school smoked turkey Shopsy's sandwich with fries. I asked if I could have some of their curry sauce on the fries. That curry sauce was good and the sandwich was exactly like I remember from Shopsy's.
Although I'm not a whiskey drinker, for those that are they have a 2 sided menu full of different whiskey choices. The bar staff is great and I will definitely be returning to this place. -

After finding most restaurants telling us there would be a half hour wait for dinner on Friday night, my fiance and I wandered down to Queen Street and found this hidden gem for some serious eating and calm (romantic, even!) atmosphere.
I wasn't planning on eating a steak, but Nick sure was. He said his was one of the best he's ever had. I got the chicken supreme which was doused in fresh tomato sauce and olives, served with surprisingly tasty couscous and veggies. I was also impressed by the waitress' reaction when I ordered a caesar with tequila instead of vodka - instead of a confused "yeah... I guess you can do that" she exclaimed "you can do whatever you want!" That's what I want to hear every time I order a drink! -

I have to compliment the manager Scott and his staff for taking care of us planning an event for $40. Scott was thorough, responsive, helpful and invited us for lunch to taste the fare before booking. Of the six restaurants in the FinDist that I called no one else offered this. Easy today with Scott. We wrapped up the details super quick then he served us two entrees split plus salads. Awesome Scott and crew. Our waitress was attentive and friendly and the food was outstanding. I'd like a little less fatty prime rib but the friZled onion rings, mouth watering mashed taters and veg - Brussel sprouts, green beams and baby carrots. Yum. Great location. Perfect rooms for smalll groups.

The steak itself was flavoursome, New York Striploin is that way. It was also fatty, I suppose it's that way too, but not normaly quite that much. It wouldn't have been so bad except it was covered in crispy floured onions which were hugely fatty, the fries were some of the worst examples of Canadian home fries which are noirmally bad being soggy, limp, blackened, potato shards with bits of skin on, but here especially so. They can be good, not great but good, here they were awful.
I left some $60 lighter, feeling slightly sick because of the grease intake and wishing I had gone to Ruth's Chris or waited until The Keg had a table open. Despite the service, whcih was quite good, I won't be coming here again. -

Waiter was friendly but slow, only serving 3 tables but still slow. Steak was delicious and perfectly prepared but bleu cheese added on top was incredibly salty and ruined steak. Bread tasted like day old store bought whole wheat loaf. Might try again but would not recommend to anyone I liked.
