Blackhorn Steakhouse - Scarborough

(Review covers about 4 visits An undiscovered secret of Scarborough is this tucked away restaurant at Warden and Ellesmere! I was invited by a friend once and that's how I got introduced to this restaurant. Family run, very hospital and friendly environment. Food review: for appetizer, we had the most DELICIOUS bread sticks, coated with cheese and garlic. It was warm, crispy just the right touch and to die for! This was followed by the main course, which consisted of the blackened trout was absolutely delicious and filling! The fish was cooked just to the right tenderness. The steak with blue cheese sauce was absolutely superb! We munched it down in no time! The dessert was Italian theme, tartufo, raspberry in the center and chocolate exterior. Very rich and decadent. Overall, we had a fantastic meal here and more people need to try their food out! Another visit: main course was the rack of lamb wow delicious (I compare it to lamb I've eaten in New Zealand! , Followed by tiramisu cheesecake dessert (tastes more like cheesecake than tiramisu but nice to have a different texture Improvement: the decor was a bit dated; Salad was non descript.

We had my sons 16th birthday dinner here last weekend party of 20 guests . The service was a little slow at first to be honest but when the food started to come out IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! Every single item we ordered was devoured and we received only compliments on the portion sizes and taste. I would highly recommend this restaurant total hidden gem. We will be back for sure ! Thank you!

Entrance very interesting? Big black wall of a door hard to notice, but I loved the cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately it closes at 9pm so you gotta have an early dinner to enjoy this hidden gem. Service : very kind lady loved the customer service as it was only us and another older gentleman dining inside. Told us that kitchen closes at 7:30 unfortunately when we arrived at 7:17 but is what it is. Apps : Calamari, one of the best ones I've had the batter is light and crisp not old oil like many chains. (Referring to joeys the keg, Moxies that are usually hard and crispy) 6/5 Ceaser salad that you can add with your entree for 7 bucks. It's good it's a salad lol. Yea light dressing includes a lemon what can you sad bad about a salad if it's done right 5/5 Entrees: Lamb chops: seasoning on point just right the roasted squash/carrots/potato's all good a tad bit oily but it's outside food. Unfortunately a lamb chop was overcooked but as I know kitchen was closing so he was probably tired. (Ordered medium rare) 12-14oz ribeye steak: It was a special they offered for 54 bucks included asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms, roasted potato/squash/carrot. With a 12oz ribeye. Though my server told me it could've been 14oz unfortunately the steak was one side thick one side thin so the thick side was a perfect medium but the thinner side was medium well. But flavors on point. Tldr : hidden gem of a steakhouse in Scarborough must try!

Wife and I had dinner. We love family places. Stephanie was our server and was great, took care of everything before it needed to be done, refills, etc. We had the garlic bread as an appetizer. It was by far the best I have ever had!!! Blackened steak was the main course, cooked perfectly medium rare. The meat itself had to have been a higher grade of beef. Potatoes were also very good. Wish we had saved room for desert!!

We just celebrated a birthday for a party of 10 at Blackhorn yesterday and everyone was quite happy with the dinners they had ordered. It was our first time here and even though the reviews were very good, I was skeptical. After tasting the appetizers and entree I was very impressed with the food for the presentation and flavours. It complimented the surroundings which were warm and intimate. Our server was excellent, she allowed us plenty of time to make our selections and responded to our questions well. We really enjoyed our experience and will be back for more!
