🍷 Toronto’s Most Expensive Lesson – Jacobs & Co. Review!
📍 Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse 12 Brant St, Toronto Thought I was ordering a 700 wine… ended up with a 7,000 Napa Valley unicorn bottle. Here’s how one decimal point turned dinner into a core memory. 🏆 Why It’s Legendary ✔ Holy grail wines – 2016 The Flight (only 6 bottles/year in Canada) ✔ Steakhouse royalty – 45-day dry-aged beef, tableside Caesar ✔ Service theater – sommelier storytelling, crumb scrapers, napkin ninjas 🥩 What We Actually Ate 🦪 East Coast Oysters ($36/dozen) ★★★★★ Plump, briny, horseradish mignonette – perfect start. 🥗 Caesar Salad ($28) ★★★★★ Anchovy-rich, Parmesan snow, crisp romaine – mixed at your table. 🥩 Oakleigh Wagyu Striploin (8oz, $120) ★★★★★ Marbled like a Pollock painting, seared in beef tallow – buttery bliss. 🍰 Coffee Cake Ice Cream ($18) ★★★★★ Warm cinnamon cake, cold espresso gelato – genius combo. 🍷 2016 The Flight ($7,000) ★☆☆☆☆ Silky tannins, blackberry notes, regret aftertaste – tasted better before the bill. 💡 Painful Lessons ✔ Wine list hack: Use your phone flashlight to check prices ✔ Best for: Expense account dinners, anniversaries, crypto bros ✔ Skip if: You sweat at $100+ bottles 💰 Damage: ~$2,500 per person (with that wine) #TorontoEats #Steakhouse #WineFail
