A popular steakhouse from Vancouver will soon be opening their first Toronto restaurant, and it\u2019s time to start getting excited about it.<\/p>\n

Riley\u2019s Fish & Steak specializes in just what it sounds like, over-the-top meat and seafood. The opening of the Toronto location of the Vancouver brand is just around the corner.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s menu features eye-popping dishes such as a hot seafood tower that\u2019s actually exclusive to the Toronto location of Riley\u2019s, as well as extravagant table side items like whole salt baked sea bass, lobster pot pie and hand carved prime rib.<\/p>\n

Riley\u2019s has now received Michelin recognition in Vancouver. The Toronto location will be the second restaurant in the city for Glowbal Restaurant Group, which is also behind steakhouse Black + Blue.<\/p>\n

The kitchen is helmed by executive chef Scott Saunderson, who has 25 years of experience in both Toronto and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

\u201cRiley\u2019s is about celebrating great ingredients and classic cooking in a way that feels exciting and social,\u201d says Saunderson. \u201cWith the expanded kitchen in Toronto, we\u2019re able to push the menu further \u2014 from table side preparations to standout seafood and prime Canadian steaks \u2014 while staying true to what makes a great chophouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The look of the space was designed by Ken Lam and draws its inspiration from the glow of the iconic \u201cgolden hour\u201d of the day, with lots of sweeping curves, textures, earthy tones, plush seating, warm lighting, and intimate alcoves. The space also incorporates a custom built stages where live music performances will regularly take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cRiley\u2019s is about warmth, rhythm, and intimacy,\u201d says Lam. \u201cIt\u2019s a grand space designed to feel personal \u2014 where lighting, materials, and architecture work together to elevate the dining experience without overwhelming it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToronto is one of the most exciting culinary cities in North America,\u201d says Emad Yacoub, Co-Founder and CEO of Glowbal Restaurant Group. \u201cWith Riley\u2019s, we didn\u2019t just open a restaurant, we created a destination that\u2019s all about the art of sharing. It\u2019s a place where food and genuine hospitality come together for every occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riley\u2019s Fish & Steak at 155 Wellington St. W. in Toronto is slated to open on April 9.<\/p>\n
