There are multiple rooms for private dining at Toronto’s most eminent steakhouse on Elm Steet. That includes their Wine Cellar, where you and up to 29 other guests can cut into Porterhouse steaks in a chandeliered room stocked floor-to-ceiling with 15,000 bottles of wine.

The Financial District adjacent outpost of Terroni has a handful of different areas for private and semi-parties spread over four floors. Sitting in the digs of an old courthouse means one of those rooms sits in the former jailhouse in the basement.
